BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it.

The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning.

Let's break it down. 🧡

Wu: "It's a 500 year storm that keep hitting every year. We're saying there's something wrong with that. You're not supposed to have 500 year events every year. And every time Dems offer up legislation to say 'let's do something about this, let's save lives,' it's uniformly rejected on party lines"

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

1/ @vermontgmg.bsky.social was kind enough to let us republish his fantastic piece on how scary giving $200 billion to a run away, ill-disciplined, and ill-trained force is.

It is a must read: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN
inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members:
1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual.

Page 2 of 4
The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned.

What has been called Big and Beautiful is as Cruel and Ugly a piece of legislation as I have ever seen in my 19 years in Congress. This Big Ugly Bill cuts access to healthcare for 17 million Americans, which will lead to thousands of premature and preventable deaths.

Wisconsin Supreme Court’s liberal majority strikes down 176-year-old abortion ban The Wisconsin Supreme Court has struck down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban. The court’s liberal majority ruled 4-3 on Wednesday that the ban is no longer valid because newer abortion restrictions superseded it.

Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
