im not sure this is a thing you want a judge saying.

‘Why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? A possible answer began to emerge over the weeks she was incarcerated. “Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,” Karen says.’

Another horrifying, Kafka-esque scene from Trump's America

"What do I think of the Board of Peace? I think it is a colonialist operation: others deciding for the Palestinians,” said Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa: www.ncronline.org/news/us-led-...

I think they’ve really misjudged the situation if they believe JD has some kind of special pull in Rome, but if their intention is to keep humiliating him by sending him there then I get it.

When someone illegally takes your money, that’s called stealing. Donald Trump stole your money with his illegal tariffs — and you paid higher prices on everything from housing to groceries. It’s time for Trump to pay up and give back your money.

Aide Wearily Begins 5th Explanation Of Why Trump Can’t Pardon Prince Andrew https://theonion.com/aide-wearily-begins-5th-explanation-of-why-trump-cant-pardon-prince-andrew/

Trump wasn't elected in a vacuum. A horrible person became president twice because horrible people kept voting for him.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

look if a Democrat wants me to be really fired up about voting for them, they will promulgate the Crimes Against Humanity Reparations Act which gives US citizenship to everyone targeted by the Trump administration.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

Indeed. Schumer is weak and too incompetent to meet the moment. Also, corrupted as fuck with aipac money. He needs to go ASAP.

This case is insane: ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.* The young man they killed had no criminal history. All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs. We don't know officers' names. We don't have footage. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

Is there any time, place, or context in which a government hanging enormous banners of the Leader’s face was not a sign of a diseased and authoritarian society? Because I certainly can’t think of one.

CORRUPTION WATCH: The family of Commerce Secy Lutnick now gets pay outs of tens of billions or more in tariff refunds. The Fix Is In: Lutnick Family To Make Killing On Tariff Demise talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-f...

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

“…that many of them don't know why they're all doing this, except for the fact that their boss told them to do it. And that is equally horrifying and infuriating. This is no way to run a declining empire!”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said consumers, not big corporations, should get refunds.

As Trump rambles on about how “dead” the economy was, remember: 2024, under Biden: 1.45 million jobs 2025, under Trump: 181,000 jobs 2024, under Biden: 2.8% GDP growth 2025, under Trump: 2.2% GDP growth The question for the White House is simple: Why did things get worse after Trump returned?

After the 2010 Citizens United decision, billionaires' influence over our elections have skyrocketed. The more money they spend buying elections, the richer they get.

Trump acknowledges that Democrats would be better off packing the court. YES THEY WOULD. IF DEMS WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO ME ABOIT THIS, I HAVE EXTENSIVE NOTES

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court has come down in favor of money

extremely funny that the Supreme Court says absolutely nothing about how the tariffs are supposed to be reimbursed ahead of the endless flood of lawsuits that are coming the administration is already running out of lawyers! have fun with that

good news everyone, supreme court justices are beholden to their corporate benefactors over their fascist overlords

will the prices that went up because of tariffs now go right back down? or are we now living with higher prices on some goods because of this unconstitutional decision?

NEW: Virginia Dem legislators have passed their new 10-1 congressional map targeting 4 Republicans. Gov. Spanberger will likely sign it soon. It would take effect for 2026 if voters pass it in an April 21 referendum (litigation pending). Interactive map+data: davesredistricting.org/join/8560023...

Democrats should run this year on returning tariff revenue to Americans. Trump already said today he’s going to fight this in the courts. An easy mode way to be on the right side of the affordability issue.

if anyone is tempted to briefly hand it to John Roberts remember that he is about to finish his life’s work of destroying the Voting Rights Act and save yourself the trouble

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) says he'll skip Trump State of the Union: "This administration continues to disregard the rule of law & Constitution while failing to lower costs for American families. I have more productive ways to spend 2 hours than listening to more lies. I’ll pass.”

Trump has never said anything as critical about Vladimir Putin or any Russian war criminal as he did today about the majority on the US Supreme Court.

so we paid the tariffs and now the corporations that passed the costs on to me and you are the ones that are going to be reimbursed, do i have that correct

DO IT, FUCKO!

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody. That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term. We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

According to Kristi Noem, when you name-call government officials like this, you are encouraging other people to assassinate them—and that is treason.

Appreciate it, Elie. I really busted my ass to cover Trump's presser, live-posting half of it through bad wifi on a flight and then racing to an airport bar to get the rest. If you find value in my efforts, it would mean a lot to me if you signed up for my newsletter: www.publicnotice.co/subscribe

It remains astounding how unfaithfully the media covers Trump’s ramblings day to day. We’re a decade into this — and his rambling gets worse — and yet the coverage continues to portray his public appearances as if they’re coherent.

You can hear the midterm campaign ads being written right now: @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social

Who is the fucking person who asked if the Supreme Court justices were still “invited” to “your” State of the Union. What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT QUESTION?? THE COUNTRY IS NOT ONE GIANT FUCKING COCKTAIL PARTY!!!

Do not let Brett Kavanaugh's increasingly reactionary politics distract you from the simpler fact that Brett Kavanaugh is a dullard and a shitty writer whose colleagues all (albeit for different reasons) very obviously have nothing but contempt for him

We’re apparently supposed to see Trump's fascistic DOJ banner and hear the implicit questions: “Don’t I appear imposing? Isn’t it clear how powerful I am?” The answer, however, is “no.” The banner doesn’t signal strength — it reflects desperation. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
