Ten thousand losses. That's the Trump admin's track record in court on its ICE detention practices. Judges have ruled against those practices in roughly 90% of cases since the agency mandated that millions of immigrants must be locked up while they face deportation proceedings.

The $400 million luxury 747 donated by Qatar is so big that it cannot fit into the existing Air Force One hangar, so it will be parked in a brand-new, $320 million high-tech hangar at Joint Base Andrews, a facility so massive it had to be built by shrinking the base’s golf course flip.it/nXYKmc

After previously voting against this 6 times, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) today flipped her vote and joined Dems in trying to halt the war in Iran + require Trump to get congressional approval. They nearly had the votes. Dem Sen. John Fetterman helped sink it. www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...

If you hate that court packing is on the table, you should be be blaming Roberts & co. A merely conservative Court that hadn't gone so batshit insane would not be facing that as a credible threat.

Twitter was once a public square, but no longer is. It's Elon's Nazi bar. He has the mic, and shares it only with people who agree with him. Why would anyone on the left want to be there, shouting in a futile attempt to be heard over Elon and the general right-wing din? There's no way to win there.

And also the site is algorithmically promoting Nazi views and suppressing progressive ones Even if you believe that getting your views in front of eyeballs works, Elon bought the site to destroy the ability to do that and astroturf his own ideas

As a friend was pointing out yesterday, counterprotetsting Nazis is good and important but its effectiveness in online spaces is questionable and drops to zero when the Nazis own the online space and can twist some knobs to make you vanish.

'He really said that!' CNN dumbfounded by Trump's 'wild' gaffe #RawStory

“I doubled the size of it, you dumb person. You are re-you are not a smart person.”— tRump today, gushing over his Epstein ballroom, then leaning in to call a female reporter the ‘R’ word before catching himself. This is the POTUS. SMDH. #ProudBlue #EpsteinBallroom #FucktRump

The Trump regime actually let two guys with zero government experience use ChatGPT to cancel $100M in grants—including Holocaust education. A federal judge just humiliated them, called it unconstitutional, and reversed every single cut. Read how she did it: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/a-federal-...

If the President can successfully order the IRS to hand over billions of dollars to his personal bank account, the Constitution is dead and no longer operative. I'm not kidding. We've crossed a kind of Rubicon and the social contract is null and void.

After Trump’s first term, many global leaders were keen to return to a business-as-usual approach when working with Washington. Trump’s second term has changed that. Finding ways to survive and thrive without heavy reliance on the U.S. is the new imperative. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...
