We're not allowed to see the faces of the taxpayer-funded goon squad who is committing crimes in the streets, but the goon squad is allowed to record the faces of taxpayers who have committed no crimes.

no matter how hard Greg Bovino tries to exude rugged masculinity he always comes off like Don Knotts in a Portlandia sketch

Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

This judge should haul Bovino in every time one of his goons violates the order.

Just got an email from my kid’s basketball coach outlining the safety precautions the host school has put in place, including when and how they’ll go into lockdown if the federal secret police show up. Again, schools making plans to protect children from their own government.

“We have a lot of heart, I said you gotta lighten up on this”🤔 Trump says ICE is focused on criminals, murderers — while being lenient on farm and hotel workers, etc. Um, maybe he should tell Stephen Miller, Bovino, ICE? Because that ain’t what’s happening.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?

“I might be second in line to take over the presidency from the oldest POTUS in history — but I have no idea what the laws of war are, nor do I read laws or the news, who has time — there’s all these tunnels here, I just wander the tunnels looking for empty cubbies to hide in”

Why is she asking the minority leader if he will do something only the majority can do?

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The judge DENIES the government a stay. SNAP must be fully paid by TOMORROW.

Seems that Donald's "irrefutable fact" was refutable after all . . .

Mother speaks out after ICE raids #Chicago day care center. “They are coming for all our children!” #immigration

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

JD Vance said today on the TPUSA podcast that these guys were “just a bunch of kids in a chat room.” bsky.app/profile/blue...

Trump’s UN rant was peak delusion: bragging like a Soviet strongman, whining about an old real estate snub, declaring coal “beautiful,” and calling Europe “hell.” The hall sat silent while he melted down. America’s humiliation was global.

Monday night was a perfect case study in how Fox covers for Trump administration malfeasance www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/how...

“we know we made you mad so you left but — hear us out — we’d like to invite you to come back and pay more”

We spend trillions on defense and intelligence so that the world’s dumbest life form can trust his instincts? We’re doomed.

ICE officials require adequate time to dispose of bodies, disappear troublesome detainees, simulate marginally adequate conditions, put on shirts without visible burrito stains, etc.

I just went there to try and find the NYT coverage of the largest protests in modern American history and just kept on scrolling and scrolling and scrolling …

Public approval is high for deportation of those immigrants with criminal records. It is not high for what they are doing.

Here's the video of the conversation Jill Lepore and I had with Jon Stewart about Trump's abuse of "emergency powers" and his push for confrontation in California. We recorded this yesterday, though, so my comments have a lot less profanity than they would've today.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Remember, we *had* a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

We need details on this.

German Chancellor: "May I remind you that we are having June 6 tomorrow. This is the D-Day anniversary." Trump: "Not a pleasant day for you. That was not a great day." German Chancellor: "This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship."

On the container ship traffic from China to the US this article from the Journal from two days ago has a lot of details. (link should be unlocked) www.wsj.com/business/log...

At a hundred days into his presidency, Joe Biden had a 52% approval rating. As we near the hundred days mark in his second term, Donald Trump has a 39% approval rating. Here's how those numbers were framed by the media:

A useful way to think about his tanking poll numbers is that they would be far worse if more people knew what he is doing

Judge: I hope you will in good faith comply and we'll take it from there. But I know I want daily updates until this is resolved. Do you have any alternative suggestions for me, Mr. Ensign? Ensign wants a declaration due by Monday close of business, not daily. Judge: My order is daily updates

🚨WHITE HOUSE MARKET MANIPULATION? Kevin Hassett teases a 90-day tariff pause—markets jump. Then they walk it back—markets drop. Feels like a pump & dump. Are MAGA insiders profiting off the swings? This isn’t policy—it’s insider trading with a flag. 🔁 Pump 💸 Dump 🚨 Corrupt

Who among us has not eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Poisoning Prevention and Surveillance Branch by mistake?

Again, this unpredictability contributes to the harm. No business is going to decide "ah ha, the tariffs mean I should move my factories to the US!" They'll just cut costs (fire people, avoid raises, etc), pass on to consumers as much of the tariff they can, and try to wait it out. Pointless damage.

I have to say, the engagement here on Bluesky compared to Twitter is refreshing. Real folks having real discussions, as opposed to scrolling thru countless bot replies. It's why I enjoy social media, even if we agree to disagree.

Law students — as potential future recruits — can affect law firm behavior. More of this please!

"If this many different judges in this many different courts appointed by this many different presidents are blocking this many policies promulgated by the same president, we ought to be able to agree that the problem is the policies—not the judges." www.stevevladeck.com/p/136-settin...

Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now? This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.
