Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files.

Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:

Assuming this isn't within 100 miles of the border (which technically would be the ocean, I guess), and absent reasonable articulable suspicion, ICE has no lawful basis to stop cars and ask for proof of citizenship.

Should ICE Agents Be Allowed to Wear Masks? It Depends Whom You Ask. Los Angeles’s mayor said Sunday that masked immigration agents helped create a “reign of terror.” ICE’s director said agents could wear masks to “keep them and their families safe.”

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities. The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) operated jails in the state since January, chronicled by advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.

Migrants at a Miami immigration prison have been compelled to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs,” with their hands tied behind their backs.

These ICE officials need to go straight to The Hague.

Party Control Is Dead From Mamdani to Trump’s Epstein fiasco, Americans are turning on their leaders

Hakeem Jeffries has reportedly told allies that if Zohran Mamdani wins, he can't become Speaker of the House.

Leaders like Jeffries see this fight as existential for their control of the party:

Sans intervention immédiate, les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir 21 juillet 2025 L'AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses journalistes staff courant 2024. Avec quelques autres, ils sont aujourd'hui les seuls à rapporter ce qu'il se passe dans la Bande de Gaza. La presse internationale est interdite d'entrer dans ce territoire depuis près de deux ans. Nous refusons de les voir mourir. L'un deux, Bashar, collabore pour l'AFP depuis 2010, d'abord comme fixeur, ensuite comme photographe pigiste, et depuis 2024 comme principal photographe. Samedi 19 juillet, il est parvenu à poster un message sur Facebook: « Je n'ai plus la force de travailler pour les médias. Mon corps est maigre et je ne peux plus travailler ». Bashar, 30 ans, travaille et vit dans des conditions égales à celles de tous les Gazaouis, allant d'un camp de réfugiés à un autre camp au gré des bombardements israéliens. Depuis plus d'un an il vit dans le dénuement le plus total et travaille en prenant d'énormes risques pour sa vie. L'hygiène est pour lui un problème majeur, avec des périodes de maladies intestinales sévères. Bashar vit depuis février dans les ruines de sa maison de Gaza City avec sa mère, ses quatre frères et sœurs et la famille d'un de ses frères. Leur maison est vide de tout aménagement et confort, à part quelques coussins. Dimanche matin, il a rapporté que son frère aîné était « tombé, à cause de la faim ». Même si ces journalistes reçoivent un salaire mensuel de l'AFP, il n'y a rien à acheter ou alors à des prix totalement exorbitants. Le système bancaire a disparu, et ceux qui pratiquent le change entre les comptes bancaires en ligne et l'argent liquide prennent une commission de près de 40%. L'AFP n'a plus la possibilité d'avoir un véhicule et encore moins de l'essence pour permettre à ses journalistes de se déplacer pour leurs reportages. Circuler en voiture équivaut de toutes les façons à pre…

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.

They are out of energy and they are starving to death.

I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it.

🧵

seriously.

the intellectual bankruptcy will continue until morale improves

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

39 Years Ago, Four Mets Fought The Cops At A Houston Bar Named Cooter's | Defector Before the Mets’ game against the Houston Astros on July 18, 1986, Tim Teufel passed out cigars in the team’s locker room. The platoon second baseman was rejoining the team after staying behind in Con...

One of the good things about working a height-of-summer Sunday Shift is you can wander down a rabbit hole re: the 1986 Mets getting in a fight at a Houston club called Cooter's Executive Games And Burgers without missing anything important. defector.com/39-years-ago...

I’ve never seen a man in real life more likely to have tied up a woman and left her on a railroad track.

You’re mistaken, that man is obviously a Colombian coffee bean baron.

might as well hand protesters a note that says “this isn’t working. have you tried vandalism?”

Endless hostage-taking over the dumbest s***. He's not a dictator! Every action in society shouldn't require permission from the president.

Why is Trump asking for grand jury testimony?

1. Because he knows it’s unlikely to be released and then he can blame the judge

2. Because that testimony is restricted to charges against Epstein and Maxwell and is unlikely to name clients

3. Because it generates delay and confusion.

Marc Andreessen and the Billionaire Victims Club The gripes of this bigwig of the tech right don’t stand up to scrutiny.

Robert Moses destroyed a bunch of New York City and then resented the people for not thanking him. That's kind of what these billionaire "victims" are like, but with more money.

totally different outcome

that’s what investigations are designed to suss out. the allegation is one of bribery.

Would be very interested to hear where the American Outlaws stand.

proud to have been a member of the WGA for many years. go get their asses.

no doubt

yes, though they have medical minders in the case of movie stars. i think jackman has strongly warned people against doing it. the effect also doesn’t work unless you drink copious amounts of water for weeks or months in advance to train your body to quit storing it. it’s all very impractical.

There is 0 chance WSJ published that story w/o having receipts, upon receipts, upon receipts

Anyone who has ever worked in print media knows that any high profile story can lead to suit, thus every word in that story scrutinized by lawyers and editors, and every fact and source quadrupled checked.

Lawyer for megachurch pastor blamed 12-year-old for initiating ‘inappropriate’ sexual conduct Letters sent in 2007 by a lawyer for Robert Morris shed light on how the pastor explained his past sexual behavior with a child — and who else might have known about it.

The examples go on and on and on...but here's the case of Robert Morris, a "spiritual advisor" to Trump, who blamed a 12-year-old girl for tempting him into having sex with her, and his church backed him for decades.
Now he's finally been indicted.

Group Behind Steam Censorship Policies Have Powerful Allies — And Targeted Popular Games With Outlandish Claims The organization behind Steam's latest payment processor censorship, Collective Shout, appears to tell some misleading tales.

The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard.

They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse.

Great work by @acvalens.net for VICE.

I have said before, and will say again, one of the Cardinal rules of any political party is: no friendly fire. Mamdani is the Democratic nominee and the leadership is currently shivving him, just an abject failure of party discipline

Immigration arrest outside Oregon preschool rattles parents Parents at a preschool in Oregon are reeling after immigration officers arrested a father in front of the school.

This is not the point, but this guy brutalized in front of his small child by ICE did not “overstay his visa.” He had gone in for a green card interview & was awaiting a final decision. US govt punishing legal immigrants for their own fucked up processing times.
