Trump administration quietly purges ICE leaders in five cities: Sources
The Trump administration has replaced senior ICE personnel in five cities with Border Patrol officials.
Other outlets are now reporting. First to report tonight was Anna Giaritelli at the Washington Examiner, whose story if anything missed how big the purge was. It's not just five cities; ICE Field Office Directors are being fired in at least a dozen cities, and will be replaced by CBP people instead.

βGOP legislative reforms will have no chance if Democrats take the House in 2026. If they also take the Senate, forget about confirming another Supreme Court nominee. The Trump Presidency will be dead in the water.β

A pride comic about the midnight turn of rainbow capitalism on July 1st and then various queer friends and family happy and loving each other featuring the text, "Brands turn back into pumpkins, colors go on clearance, but you're still here. I'm glad you're still here.
"July 1st."
I've had complicated feelings about this comic this year. We've seen so much quiet quitting of rainbow capitalism--a canary in the coal mine. I started wondering if I was naive to not think of when I drew this as "the good times."

I know I'm not the first person or even the millionth person to point this out; it's not even the first time *I* have said it, but this is what actual First Amendment violations look like and the fact that none of the supposed free speech warriors are saying anything about it tells us everything.

Current NYT headline indicating that the vaunted bunker-buster bombs did not, in fact, bust the bunkers.
So to recap: Trump violated the War Powers Resolution, failed in his mission, lied and said he succeeded, made up a cease-fire between two countries in his head, then got mad and cursed when he found out it didn't exist.

Let's review:
1. Iran was not building a nuclear weapon
2. US intel said that if the US bombed Iran, it might push Iran to build a nuke
4. Trump bombed Iran anyway
5. Trump claimed the bombs "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities
6. Iran's program was set back only a few months, US intel says

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
