A total violation of international law. Eswatini is imprisoning people from multiple countries no crime, based on no violation of law in that country, and with the direct knowledge and acquiescence of the United States.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Which, I should note, is exactly what Mullin said he would do.

🧵 1/4 NYC health officials are testing cooling towers as they investigate a Legionella outbreak that has sickened 18 people. Anyone who lives, works, or recently visited Manhattan's East Side between 76th and 96th Streets should monitor for symptoms. www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

This is an incredibly important read regarding today’s #SCOTUS decision in Slaughter.

SCOTUS upholding the firing of the FTC commissioner but not the Federal Reserve board member is such a blatant reveal of how this Supreme Court sides with the interests of capital over consistent jurisprudence and precedent.

There's no sugar-coating Slaughter. It's an enormously important ruling (far more important than the other three decisions #SCOTUS handed down today). It's a huge win for Trump/the executive. And it's going to have massive ramifications for the functioning of the government long after Trump is gone.

The Supreme Court will decide whether two nonprofits and several parents have standing to challenge a Washington state law that requires licensed shelters to notify state officials, rather than parents directly, when runaway minors are seeking gender-affirming or reproductive health care.

NEW: The Supreme Court will decide whether Arizona (and potentially other states) may require proof of citizenship on state voter registration forms. A huge case, and I fear the outcome is predetermined. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Among the grants today are a big voting case and a potentially big parental rights case relating to gender-affirming care. RNC v. Mi Familia Vota cert pet: www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25... International Partners for Ethical Care v. Ferguson cert pet: www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

Yes. This is quite scary. Thankfully it didn’t happen.

Yahhhhssssss

BREAKING: States are allowed to count ballots mailed by Election Day but received after Election Day, Supreme Court rules. Barrett has the 5-4 opinion for the court, holding that federal law does NOT preempt the state laws. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Barrett's opinion is pretty sharp—she says (correctly) that this is an easy case because federal law simply says nothing about ballot receipt deadlines, states get to make their own rules. The 5th Circuit and the dissenters just want to rewrite the law. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Thank goodness! This is a big loss for Trump.

To read later.

Maybe we are moving toward three parties? Also, way to mobilize around this so quickly, while failing to mobilize around the extreme R for so long.

Taxpayer spending on projects in the National Capital Region has increased 92 percent over the past year, according to the budget documents. The windfall draws on revolving maintenance accounts and more than $100 million in fees collected almost entirely from national parks elsewhere.

It’s important to know that the system is working in a lot of cases.

"A Mississippi farmer who paid higher wages and favoured white South African guest workers has been taken to court by five black American workers alleging a pattern of racial and citizenship-based discrimination and 'wage theft'."

They closed all the Cinnabon spots in San Diego, but every time I cross the border into Arizona (which I do with depressing frequency), I stop at the one gas station that sells them, this making the trip to Arizona worth it… almost.

Holy moly. Fingers crossed!

Biggest FACTS I’ve read all week.

This is what’s up

I hate this timeline

If this is true, my god did the Iranians win the war.

Major concerns. It’s proposed at this point, not final.

TIL that Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry are dating. This isn’t anything I care about. But it did catch me off guard. 😜

A SECOND person died of exposure last winter after DHS dumped them in the middle of nowhere, miles from their home, without notifying their family.

Perfection

This thread lays some powerful truth to hold for the next few years.

BRING BACK CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT AKA “CHECKS AND BALANCES”

Following the U.S. entry ban on Omar Artan, Africa's best referee of 2025, FIFA could reassign him to a match in Canada or Mexico in less than an hour. Instead, it does nothing. FIFA is complicit.

The morning after pogroms in northern Ireland, the UK just sent letters to hundreds of trans youth saying their NHS partner provider, WellBN, has been banned from providing GAC and they must forcefully detransition within the next month. Fascism has arrived to the UK.

In case you forgot what it looks like when a real president gets the love at a game. You know, when the crowd actually wants the president there.

Another devastating piece of news. Read the 🧵

This is more than note-worthy.

Don't plan to come to the US for the World Cup. Trump will deny you entry last minute and cost you thousands. Especially if he thinks your country was mean to him. www.bbc.com/news/article...

California just held an election w/paper ballots, signature verification, audits, bipartisan oversight & public vote counting procedures. You don’t get to yell “fraud” every time voters make a choice you don’t like. Take the whiny little b*tch act somewhere else. We’re not buying it in this state!

Never forget the liars who told you and told you that Democratic Socialism would never work. The people that brought you Trump’s pedocracy did everything they could to stop Mamdani.

They did this to a small group of people last year. Do you remember?

He could only get two singers on their death beds and the military bands that are contractually obligated to perform anytime he asks.

For real lol

😂😂😂

More seriously, though, I look forward to this quote showing up in First Amendment protest cases. Well done, Mr. Mullin.

Interesting angle, since this can be proven categorically false.

if a president was so concerned with assassination attempts that he wanted billions of dollars to build a massive safe room would that president also be inviting 50,000 people onto the white house grounds to enjoy a gladiatorial fight
