1/Kevin Hassett had long ago discredited himself as a scholar by parroting claims about the economy he knew to be false. Even so, parroting the lie about rigged statistics, is a new low. The academy should ostracize him the same way a fabricator of research should be ostracized.

“ICE is holding men, women, and children in overcrowded rooms without beds, showers, or medical care—sometimes for days on end," Chioma Chukwu, executive director of American Oversight, which filed the lawsuit with Democracy Forward.

Across the U.S., there’s a push to repeal or update HIV laws that put people in prison. Most of the legislation was put on the books decades ago, fueled by fear and absent scientific understanding about HIV, and long before advances in treatments.

“These are the most vulnerable people, and we are stripping them of any modicum of due process,” a Louisiana immigration attorney said. “The consequences of this are life or death.”

When most people picture U.S. prisons, they don’t usually imagine green plants, vibrant murals, wooden furniture, cuddly dogs or fish tanks. In most facilities, they’d be right. But America’s experiment with Scandinavian-inspired prison units is growing — and being tested.

In the last six months, a gargantuan network of American prisons and jails has been redeployed to accomplish Trump’s immigration goals. Here's how the administration enlisted this criminal justice infrastructure to detain immigrants.

I’m primary caretaker for a baby now, spending nearly every hour of almost every day handling it all completely on my own. I’d like to be able to afford 1-2 days a week to knock out big chores (like laundry) & to be on the ground again. A nanny costs $20-$30/hr. I make $350/week lol

“This is the Biggest Threat to Our Democracy That Nobody’s Talking About” Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar of Trump’s scheme to gut the Voting Rights Act and gerrymander the 2026 election.

The United States is funding this with our taxpayer dollars. Israel is engaging in an ethnic cleansing campaign and committing a genocide against the Palestinian people. Netanyahu needs to be arrested and tried in international court for crimes against humanity.

Indeed, the topic of abortion is the key get out the vote item for both parties & at most ‘trans issues’ [sharing the idea of autonomy] might flavour that. The NYT is big on quotes but poor on facts. It is probably the US newspaper most involved in the so-called trans panic.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

I don't know what else to say about the Trump regime other than they have grown more confident they can performatively fabricate and lie with impunity and get away with it. They've become authoritarians - all of them - for they've come to believe in their own power to determine what is true.

Deporting U.S. citizens, National Guard troops as immigration judges. Just making fascism up on the fly now. And why not? Who is going to stop him?

I have genuine questions about this. Florida's proposal on this topic (which I'm confessing I should have read back in May) suggests the DOD would activate 10 FLNG JAGs under Title 10 (which part?) and then... somehow assign them to EOIR to be immigration judges? Which... how? Under which authority?

#HappyPrideNYC!

Lehrer, ever the journalist, pushed back on Gillibrand’s insidious claims. There are also now calls to contact Gillibrand’s office condemning her racist disinfo. While some in the NY electorate have been hesitant or outright hostile to Mamdani’s win, progressives have celebrated it, endorsed him.

Relevant context: Gillibrand’s top contributor is AIPAC www.opensecrets.org/members-of-c...

Senator Kristen Gillibrand appeared on Brian Lehrer, a major NYC radio show, and claimed mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani said “globalize the intifada” and that he may support “global jihad,” statements which are both acutely racist and provably untrue.
