NEW: SPLC seeks dismissal of charges, citing Trump admin's "vindictive motive to punish the SPLC." The motion highlights other cases either dismissed by courts or by the Trump administration itself in the wake of other vindictive prosecution claims. Tonight, at Law Dork:

🚨"THEY TOOK ADAM!"🚨 ICE agents can be seen using brute force and tasers to arrest a reported medic and veteran who was positioned across the street and away from the protest crowd outside Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ. Stay tuned while we investigate. WATCH LIVE 📷

Seems Johnny Garcia will defeat anti-Semitic kook Maureen Galindo in the Democratic primary. Neo-Nazis and anti-Semites should stay in the Republican lane!

By nominating Ken Paxton for #TXSen, Texas Rs have inexplicably lobbed a slow, underhanded pitch right into our strike zone during a tied game. In order to win, we need to help James Talarico knock it out of the park. No swing-and-a-miss. No ground out. We either hit a home run or we lose.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "Ken Paxton embodies this broken, corrupt political system... impeached three years ago by his own party for using his public office, his position of public trust, to enrich himself and his donors at our expense."

So South Carolina senate again just killed the redistricting bill. Given what's happened so far I wouldn't say anything is ever final. But another big reverse. I'm sure Trump will be stoked. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Pope Leo is 🔥: "So-called artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships...nor do they have a moral conscience... a form of statistical adaptation...does not imply inner growth."

Luca Poggi, an Italian economist among those detained from the flotilla, told Reuters on his arrival in Rome: “We were stripped, thrown to the ground, kicked. Many of us were Tasered, some were sexually assaulted, and some were denied access to a lawyer.” #SanctionIsrael #BoycottIsrael #Palestine

NY-13 is one of the bluest districts in the country, but its incumbent is a Cuomo-endorsing, AIPAC-funded, Corporate PAC fueled ICE apologist. Darializa is the real deal, and we've got a month to help her shake up the status quo in this primary - so please pitch in!

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

I love that Stephen Colbert said to himself, before I die I want to sing with Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello. So he did. He’s earned that.

Watched Stephen Colbert final show last night CBS gave up a talented guy award winning show all because the child rapist gave them a deal.. Giving up talent for a child rapist FU CBS..

She warned us all. Colbert: “You warned everyone about the future under our current president. You said: He will - Prosecute his political enemies - Cut Medicaid/Medicare - ignore court orders - Alienate our allies And I know you’re not here to say I told you so. But would you like to?” 😂😅🤣

One of my all-time favorite moments from Colbert’s show — this exchange with Dua Lipa on faith and grief.

Paul McCartney helped Stephen Colbert, his entire team, and their families, turn the lights out for the last Late Show.

Wow. #Colorado substack.com/@smotus/note...

Senate Republicans ensure your tax dollars go to child predator insurrectionists.

Trump ended Bill Cassidy’s Senate career Saturday. Tuesday Cassidy voted to end Trump’s war. Some people find their spine on the way out.

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

HUGE: The Senate just advanced a War Powers Resolution aimed at ending Trump’s illegal war on Iran. Before the final vote, contact your senators (especially if they’re Republican) and demand they vote YES: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

The Senate finally voted to advance a War Powers resolution to end this costly war. While Americans face rising gas and grocery bills, the President's attention is elsewhere. I urge my Republican colleagues — join me, pass this resolution, and deliver for hardworking Americans.

If Never Trumpers are so insightful and electorally savvy how come they didn't notice their party was turning into a white supremacist/grifter shithole with a base of bigots and imbeciles until it was 20 years too late?

“The governor’s decision leaves the commonwealth exactly where we have been since 2021: with an unchecked illicit market hurting our communities, harming our youth, and putting adults at risk," said one critic.

This is how the blockade on Cuba works in practice. Not just punishing Cuba directly — but intimidating shipping companies, banks, and foreign businesses into cutting ties with the island out of fear of US sanctions or lawsuits.

Senate advances measure to limit tRump's Iran war powers in rare bipartisan 50-47 vote. Four Republicans broke ranks after tRump was reportedly "an hour away" from strikes. GOP senators are starting to push back on his dangerous foreign policy adventurism. Keep speaking out! mcsp.short.gy/MCg6

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson pointed out that her colleagues have only altered their procedural timeline three times in 25 years — and it just so happened to be to fast-track a ruling that favored a partisan gerrymandering blitz.

In North Carolina, a board was set up to review the sentences of people who were convicted as minors and it provided a rare chance for them to talk about their childhood and what they’d accomplished in prison. The board has since disbanded.
