The battle used to be over whether detained noncitizens should get bond hearings. But now judges want detainees released outright, because bond hearings before AG Bondi’s immigration judges would be “futile.” h/t @kyledcheney.bsky.social ... 1/3 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Holy cow. *Multiple* U.S. fighters have crashed in Kuwait.

"Her release follows months of advocacy from community members and political leaders of both parties. Yu has operated her two West Valley restaurants for years, building a reputation for greeting customers with humor and kindness. She has no criminal record." www.12news.com/article/news...

The judges in WV have seen enough. They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You'll see a lot of bad analysis claiming Trump's third illegal attack on Iran is merely an attempt to distract from scandals at home. PROOF will shortly publish a book-length report establishing that the current war with Iran is not disconnected from the Trump-Epstein Scandal.

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Mind blown about the early vote in Texas. TX Dems may outvote the GOP for the 1st time in a midterm primary since 2002! This indicates they're well on their way to having higher primary turnout nationally & since 06 the party with higher primary turnout won the House every time.”

Remember the $10 Billion Foxconn factory to be built in southern Wisconsin during the first Trump Administration in 2017? It still hasn't been built! It has been 8 year! What could they have possibly have started building in one single year? 🤷‍♂️

Judge Cannon claims that she *strains* to find an example where a special counsel released a report after in indictment that did not result in a finding of guilt. Here’s one off the top of my head: Sussman, who was charged and acquitted, is mentioned 311 times in Durham’s final report.

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Our Pulitzer-winning "Friends of the Court" series began with this story that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow. (Published April 2023)

You really have to work at being this stupid when obvious facts are readily available. The dipshit MAGA influencer echo chamber in all its glory:

Here’s an ugly truth. When a President sends men and women to war, they have decided to spend American lives to buy things; to buy objectives, outcomes, results. This president will be willing to trade the currency of human life…for something as worthless as his ego. We will see that soon.

"The Social Circle city manager was contacted by ICE... “They asked me to turn on the water,” he said of a 1m sq ft warehouse nearby that the government plans to use for locking up as many as 10,000 detainees. “I told them I’m not going to do it,” he said... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Why is it surprising that a convicted criminal who avoided going to prison by getting elected president is now trying to defy the courts ? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

I'm never 100% sure something is true until these people deny it.

Must be nice to have a functioning Supreme Court.

JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.” This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate." #TrumpSyndicate

1/ Roger Stone was behind the request to Trump to pardon JOH. He was the the middleman who passed on the letter suggesting a pardon would "save" a freedom City (ZEDE) in Honduras declared illegal in 2022. See link to article in original article here: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Why would federal prosecutors in 2019 tell authorities in New Mexico to stop their investigation into Epstein and Zorro Ranch?

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Why? The Honduran government had issued an arrest warrant through Interpol for narcodictator JOH ? Was it withdrawn ? This man’s brother Tony Hernandez (TH) is serving time in US Federal Prison for helping JOH commit the crimes for which Trump pardoned him ! 🤯 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.

starting to get the feeling that Kristi Noem will not in fact win the 2028 presidential election

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

“Vibecoding,” or using A.I. tools such as Claude Code to generate code for websites or apps, could transform the software-development industry. Listen to today's episode of "The Daily" for a closer look at this A.I. trend.

The FBI folks who signed that affidavit must be jailed. Now! For lying to a judge.

There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela. Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Can someone remind me why this is not our guy for 2028? Young, speaks well, drops truth bombs, handsome (sorry it’s an advantage)….??

"In Pennsylvania, the Shapiro administration is warning federal officials that it will not issue required state permits for two planned immigration detention centers..." www.spotlightpa.org/berks/2026/0...

Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on elections: In the past, we’ve mostly seen foreign interference — my bigger fear now is domestic interference, some of that potentially originating inside the administration.

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “It’s important to remember there’s more of us than them — every one of us can be sand in the gears of an injustice.”

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

None of this is normal

Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution. She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold. We really are not a very good-natured country.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
