I mean, a federal judge just ordered formal sanctions against this nominee *this same week* What the hell are we doing here?

A 28-year-old man was brutally murdered in Florida by ICE thugs who chased him onto the path of an oncoming semi-truck. The driver of the truck stopped his vehicle and immediately attempted to aid the victim while the ICE thugs stood around, hands in vests.

NEW: Months after FCC Commissioner Olivia Trusty cast a decisive vote approving Paramount’s historic $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, she and a guest accepted Kennedy Center gala tickets from the company worth more than $12,000.

"A government that conceals its identity cannot demand perfect recognition from frightened civilians," writes @jamilsmith.bsky.social. "ICE mistook Lorenzo Salgado Araujo for another man. He was expected to identify ICE instantly. Only one side was allowed to make an error."

Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

"Now, a new report lays bare the scale of the use of these crowd control weapons during anti-immigration demonstrations across the US, including hundreds of incidents that resulted in lasting and traumatic injuries." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Reform's Zia Yusuf had claimed the state was "providing no protection whatsoever" to the party's MPs. In fact, Nigel Farage had been offered a package that would have given him the same level of protection as Kemi Badenoch - but he turned it down.

The best story ICE could make up, after 12 hours, is that ICE agents shot someone in the head because they believed the person they shot, who was not accused of any crime, was a different person also not accused of any crime, and so "public safety" required killing them on the spot.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump and his two eldest sons’ $10-billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service was brought for “an improper purpose,” a Florida-based federal judge ruled. The judge also recommended attorney sanctions for the Trumps’ lawyers. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Under no circumstances should the Senate confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/you-wanna-know-why-todd-blanche-should

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

“.. The analysts, a husband and wife, told colleagues they did not believe the investigation was justified under FBI and Justice Department policies, the people said, adding that the couple was escorted out of their office ..” @ms.now www.ms.now/news/fbi-kas...

RIP Lindsey Graham. You taught me it was okay to be a coward whose only skill is debasing myself until death for a tiny, ultimately illusionary crumb of power.

Four American siblings left to fend for themselves—and they’re not the only ones.

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

Remember Trump ambushing Zelensky in the Oval Office? This week Zelensky walked into NATO and left with $80 billion and a Patriot deal Trump spent years refusing. The man Trump tried to break just out-negotiated him on the world stage. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-does...

I have a bit of sincere advice for some men on the far-left and in the progressive movement who need to hear this. It's not all men. It's not most men. But it's definitely some men who need to hear it. (thread)

So ICE has thugs wearing “media” vests and masks filming protesters, something that is totally normal in a democracy www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

Lorenzo’s Salgado's brother Victor told his lawyer that the agent who pulled his brother out of the vehicle and cuffed him on the ground as he bled out asked in a mocking tone “Se querían escapar, verdad?” which means. “You wanted to escape, right?” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

All 3 men inside of the van with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo “‘reiterated that there were never any ICE agents in front of the van…They came in and started shooting from the sides.’” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

And DHS has been desperately trying to get these three witnesses to self deport. ICE has been using the “weaponized vehicle” excuse to murder people for a decade plus. It’s all coming out now with the microscope on them. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

🚨🚨🚨 "The three men who were arrested during an operation that resulted in the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo said a federal officer fired at them almost immediately after exiting his vehicle and that at no point did the driver veer in his direction." wapo.st/4ydn1Ux

Federal immigration agents have fatally shot 10 people in Trump’s second term. 10 human beings. 10 people with families, friends, hopes, and dreams. 10 people who should still be alive today. Everyone carrying out Trump’s deadly agenda must answer for their crimes.

"Today, Davey Hearn pled not guilty — because he is not guilty," Norm Eisen, one of his attorneys, said outside DC Superior Court. "If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk — and every American should be alarmed about this prosecution."

They’re trying to deport the men who witnessed the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. newrepublic.com/article/2129...

FIFA has banned England defender Jarell Quansah for two matches over his red card against Mexico. I guess we get the Prime Minister, the King, the Lord Mayor of London and Liz Truss to call them up to overturn it. That’s how it works now, right?

NEW on “Paper Trail”: Reporter @reneedudley.bsky.social heard Microsoft was running tech support for the Pentagon through China, the country’s biggest cybersecurity adversary. She thought it sounded like a conspiracy theory — until she started looking into it. Listen to the full episode:

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

Same people promoting this are screaming about Mamdani's grocery stores as "communism."

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Trump: "One of the things I talked to [Putin] about was 'Where would you want to meet?' And he said 'Ideally in Moscow.' I said 'You're not going to meet in Moscow.'…Would you go to Moscow?" Zelensky: "It's difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there."

One minute these babies are fine. The next they're seizing, or vomiting blood, or not waking from a nap, or not breathing. I spoke with more than a dozen doctors who have seen the consequences of more parents declining the routine vitamin K shot for their newborns. This is what it looks like.

"Lorenzo Salgado Araujo did not deserve to be killed by ICE agents. Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal did not deserve to die in ICE custody. These deaths—and many others—are a direct effect of mass deportation. That policy embodies the cruelty of the Trump administration." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

cannot imagine how debased and degraded your personality must be to make your lockscreen a picture of your boss

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

Nothing says 'man of the people' quite like a politician calling a by-election at public expense on the issue of whether or not he should have the right to secretly take donations from Thai-based crypto billionaires and a convicted fraudster

Everything Trump touches dies, example 79,838,340

The facade is cracking

Farage having a total “establishment stitch-up” wettie about being scrutinised for his corrupt links and handouts from a convicted fraudster while Jenrick insists Farage “will be Britain’s next prime minister.” No. You don’t get to tantrum your way to power. app.independent.co.uk/2026/07/05/3...
