The fact that this didn’t take Judge Nachmanoff any time at all underscores how serious the government’s failure was. Welcome to the rocket docket.

Our federal judges understand the assignment and the danger posed by DHS agents.

ICE abducted 9 documented workers at a car wash in Allston & denied them the chance to retrieve their documents — this is cruel & harrowing.

My office is in touch with the families and working with them to track down their loved ones & connect them with legal counsel.

Yup. It turns out massively destabilizing trade in and out of the country is bad for people importing to build factories in order to export stuff.

Also, they’ve pretty much killed CHIPS and Science, the largest domestic manufacturing bill in recent history.

Facts not in evidence?

Pamela Jo Bondi lies. A lot.

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

So much for trying to compete with China, keep our economy on track and preserve the planet for our kids. Trump did this, and he didn't do it alone. This Republican Congress is a historic disgrace.

U.S. Inflation Accelerated in June as Trump’s Tariffs Pushed Up Prices

As the grocery shopper in our family, the shift has been noticeable in the past 3 weeks. Already switched stores for produce.

Woe is the voter who chose Trump because of grocery prices or inflation or deporting cartel members or the release of the Epstein files.

From: Sent: Tuesday, July 8, 2025 12:57 PM To: @ice.dhs.gov> @mail.house.gov> Cc: CongressToICE @ice.dhs.gov> Subject: RE: Visit to El Paso SPC (TX-16) Good afternoon, Unfortunately, we're unable to support a visit to the El Paso facility on 7/9/25. The Department is now requiring requests be made seven (7) calendar days in advance for scheduling. Please let us know whether we can help you schedule a future visit. Statement attributable to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin: "As ICE law enforcement have seen a surge in assaults, disruptions, and obstructions to enforcement, including by politicians themselves, any requests to tour processing centers and field offices must be approved by the Secretary of Homeland Security. These requests must be part of legitimate congressional oversight activities. As for visits to detention facilities, requests should be made with sufficient time to prevent interference with the President's Article II authority to oversee executive department functions-a week is sufficient to ensure no intrusion on the President's constitutional authority. To protect the President's Article II authority, any request to shorten that time must be approved by the Secretary." As Department guidance regarding visits to DHS facilities is updated, it will be posted to ice.gov. ICE continues to comply with Sec. 527 but entry into detention facilities may be delayed due to exigent circumstances (including personnel and facility security considerations during protests) or time required to vet requests to ensure they are for legitimate purposes (i.e., oversight, etc.). ICE will continue to take all actions required to faithfully execute Executive Order 14159, Protecting The American People Against Invasion; we defer additional questions regarding visits to DHS facilities, including questions regarding statements by Secretary Noem or Assistant Secretary McLaughlin, to the Department. Let us know whether you have questions or need additional information.…

What Noem is doing here is creating a deliberate conflict between Article I and Article II. She is saying that despite a law duly passed by Congress barring her from this exact action, she can deny access to Members of Congress anyway "to protect the President's Article II authority."

FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show

Trump and Noem fired the people who answer the emergency phone line.

It’s not really incompetence because they know what they are doing. They are intentionally breaking government - even the parts that help us when we are deep in crisis.

FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show

The floods ripped through Texas on July 4.

On July 5, FEMA received 3000 calls from survivors. 1% were unanswered.

That night, Trump/Noem fired the people who answer the calls.

On July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls. 65% unanswered.

July 7: 85%.

Sick.

I Don't Care if Democrats Are in the Epstein Files Hold them all accountable.

"I don’t care if Clinton is in the Epstein files. I don’t care if any Democrats are on the client list. I don’t care if any progressives are on the client list... You know why? Because I'm not in a cult."

Really would love to see how much time Noem spent on or preparing to be on television over the last week versus time spent doing the job.

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls. That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter. The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents show.

oh my god www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c...

Exactly: THe stories on what didn't get done bc Noem required her personal signature (in additional to call centers, the rescue teams) aren't stating clearly that one reason Noem is doing this is bc she's $1B over budget bc she has blown it all on kidnapping grannies.
