Rubio was photographed pacing around the Oval today and then Trump tweaked out on camera for 20 minutes tonight. I wonder what speech Trump planned to give when he announced it yesterday and if plans changed.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Yes, @gregsargent.bsky.social is exactly right here, and that is a far bigger story than just Kilmar himself. It is about who we, as the United States writ large, are. It cannot be that which Trump and Miller are.

Warned that this was going to happen. And if Trump’s DOJ doesn’t fight it, I’m not sure there’s much that can be done to stop it. radleybalko.substack.com/p/magas-300-...

Back in 2019 I wrote about how Rex Tillerson discovered in a HPSCI hearing that Jared had been withholding his private plans from then Secretary of State. We haven't skipped a beat since. www.emptywheel.net/2019/06/28/a...

NEW: Emil Bove, thumbing his nose at America, is making a mockery of the rule of law. Attending Trump's rally on Tuesday, Judge Emil Bove let it be known that his DOJ actions were just the beginning. Bove must face accountability, and ultimately impeachment. Today, at Law Dork:

Here's key part of Charles Breyer's order that USG has to stop poaching CA's National Guard. Add it to the logjam of NG cases... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

With national implications: "Defendants have sent California Guardsmen into other states, effectively creating a national police force made up of state troops." DOJ's claim that re-federalization is "completely, and forever, unreviewable by the courts ... is contrary to law."

I litigated a case against Monsanto concerning genetically modified seeds in the early aughts, and when I tell you how much this doesn't surprise me---

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking. "It's bad," Smith says. Read here: newrepublic.com/article/2039...

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Mostert not making head contact apparently 🙄

x.com/rugbyontnt/s... Franco Mostert always illegal shoulder charge, no attempt to wrap the arm. Springbok tackle technique lets them down. Another 4 match ban coming, with reduction for attending “tackle school” Cue wailing and gnashing of teeth.

@rparloff.bsky.social did a remarkable job live blogging the hearing, and reproducing the thread in text form is a public service. Roger is correct the hearing was remarkable: Govt efforts to conceal their continuing bad faith towards Abrego were comprehensively dismantled by his assiduous lawyers.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Trump’s comment re “I’ll leave that to Kristi “ is deeply ironic My recollection is that Kristi, when asked at her confirmation hearing about Habeas Corpus Said “It is a power the President has” Watch this video on 'kristi noem habeas corpus' share.google/L2kKPTrbHezQ...

And when I read this quote from Miss Anna I imagined being within the vaulted drawing room of a palatial mansion, her eye brow arching genteelly, and the whisper of lemon tanged iced tea were the only hints of sharpness to her tone.

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

youtube.com/watch?v=vjkC... And read JVL substack piece “The Chicago Rubicon and what comes next” Linked in next reply

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Here’s a longer video that begins midway through the incident👇👇
