FBI director says arrested judge for obstructing immigration operation FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday said federal agents arrested a Wisconsin judge on obstruction charges in a message Patel posted on X and later deleted.

Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and now the United States.

Autocrats always go after judges first because judges are the last line of defense for rule of law and due process.

We cannot let this stand.

Protect judges and constitutional judicial independence.

We continue to stand with Judge Dugan against yet another authoritarian attempt to silence dissent, punish dissenters, and intimidate everyone else from ever joining them. Obstructing fascism is our duty, not a crime.

FBI Director Kash Patel v Follow @FBIDirectorKash Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week. We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest. Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he's been in custody since, but the Judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public. We will have more to share soon. Excellent work @FBIMilwaukee.

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.

The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil, a legal permanent U.S. resident and graduate student who served as spokesperson for campus activists last year during large demonstrations against Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and the war in Gaza. Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs. He said that while Khalil’s activities were “otherwise lawful,” letting him remain in the country would undermine “U.S. policy to combat anti-Semitism around the world and in the United States, in addition to efforts to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence in the United States.”

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

Think about how much of an entitled prick you’d have to be to think calling other human beings “peasants” when you’re the Vice President is an ok thing to do.

The world’s worst diplomat strikes again.

Also: we don’t borrow money from them. That is nonsense.

The simple truth is that Trump believes that, if we send money to a county in exchange for stuff, we've just lost because now they have our money

China Just Turned Off U.S. Supplies Of Minerals Critical For Defense & Cleantech - CleanTechnica In response to new Trump tariffs, China cut dysprosium, terbium, and tungsten exports—hitting U.S. EVs, wind, and military systems hard.

FAFO

Life comes at you ... at exactly the rate it promised to come at you during its 4-year re-election campaign where it told you exactly what it planned to do literally thousands of times.

BBC took live an announcement from European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on Trump’s tariffs, while Fox News, MSNBC and CNN all had regular programming.

It’s not really surprising, but maybe speaks to why the U.S. is in this position. Other countries don’t really exist.

Lol

Lmao

30% tariff on the lost continent of Atlantis, just in case

I don't expect any of our major media outlets to acknowledge this outright, but this is the thing: These aren't 'steep' tariffs, these are _insane_ tariffs. These are 'nobody in the White House understands decimal points' numbers. It speaks to total economic illiteracy _throughout the White House_.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

45/musk also levied tariffs against…no one at all: bsky.app/profile/davi...

listen up, five percent tariffs, a ten percent tariff is speaking

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Gulag Barbie brought her curling iron, gold watch, pearl earrings, and Caboodle full of makeup to the foreign prison

#Signalgate was no accident.

This feels like a sort of carnival-week funeral for the US republic. Beneath deep anger at Trump's orgy of vandalism and self-worship, I feel deep sadness. What a train wreck of a superpower.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Wow. USAID website has been brought back online for the first time in days — only to include the message that all USAID staff worldwide will be placed on administrative leave
