Trump can’t stop hanging ugly gold signs on the White House. He unveiled a label for ‘The West Wing’ on Truth Social. Apparently all the gaudy signs he’s already put up couldn’t keep him from getting lost.

“Sullivan & Cromwell has represented clients who have received favorable treatment from Trump’s Justice Department in recent months. ...

I wrote about Lorenzo Salgado Araujo—who is now the tenth person federal immigration agents have shot and killed during Trump's second term.

KEY: all three witnesses are being detained apart, and their story is consistent. They say that there were agents along the side of the vehicle but none in front. When you add the videos showing a lack of evidence of damage to the front despite ICE's ramming claim, ICE's story is falling apart.

“Trump’s personal lawyer and legal coordinator, Boris Epshteyn, had been urging the firm to add the Carroll matter to its portfolio, according to people familiar with his request.”

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

@joe-scarborough.bsky.social: "Isn’t the time to say don’t tread on me when Americans and other people who’ve been here for 35 years are getting gunned down in the streets by federal troops with masks?”

Trump: "I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the WH, in PROTEST over the fact that the Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, which is polling at 97% with the Republican Party, and very high with the non-politician Dumocrats."

The Republican Party 4 months before midterms: "You're not getting affordable housing unless you give up your voting rights" Great message.

“This isn’t the first time S&C’s governance and candor have come under outside scrutiny …. “Naturally, the firm’s on-the-record comment is a masterclass in saying nothing. A spokesperson told the Journal that the decision to represent Trump came only after ’thorough discussion’ ...

"This was a landmark housing bill. Trump refusing to sign it is going to reflect poorly on Republicans. I was talking to a Senate GOP aide who told me, 'Never in my lifetime have I seen a president so deliberately attempt to lose majorities for his own party.'"

Federal judges have spent a full year overwhelmingly rejecting ICE's effort to lock up people the Trump admin is seeking to deport — finding a combination of illegality, unconstitutionality, incompetence and cruelty at a shocking scale. More than 15,000 times.

Conventional wisdom, with which I agree: Trump is more narcissistic, self-absorbed, and megalomaniacal than ever. Conventional wisdom, with which I disagree: Oh c’mon, Trump understands he really can’t run again. My hunch: Trump “understands” no such thing. He wants to run. He’ll try to.

I have warned that Trump never accepts defeat. Instead he escalates the attacks. This is his latest escalation. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

An administration of delinquent children who care more about their personal entertainment than about the public they have sworn to serve.

... During the 2024 transition, incoming White House counsel David Warrington recommended the president cut ties with Epshteyn because of allegations that Epshteyn tried to use his closeness to Trump to enrich himself, according to his report, which was reviewed by The Washington Post.”

“The central figure in the group, according to the Trump adviser and lawyers who have been involved in litigation with them, is Boris Epshteyn, a pugnacious longtime adviser to Trump. ...

Literally everything he does is done shoddily, without thought or planning, for performative reasons or simple self-aggrandisement. Our republic is the casualty.

Trump’s polling lies fuel his election denial. Trump conditions his supporters to believe his election fables by regularly making delusional claims about his popularity.

Donald Trump opposes affordable housing. Pass it on.

Companies associated with Trump's sons have received $1 billion and counting in government contracts since he returned to office. We've never seen anything like this coming out of the White House. 📸: @ms.now @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

Not rapidly enough

Today, July 10, marks one year since the brutal and chaotic immigration raid by the US DHS on Glass House Farms in Ventura County, CA which resulted in more than 300 farm workers detained by federal agents and the violent death of farm worker Jaime Alanis Garcia. 1/

We need to elect representatives who will take action. Everywhere. All Over America! #impeachconvictremove

wes, MN 50501 on ICE murder of lorenzo salgado araujo: “authoritarian regimes depend on ordinary people staying home. democracy depends on ordinary people showing up. history is not written by presidents, it’s by ordinary people who decided there was a line they would not let their country cross.”

Couchlover thinks he knows character

Drumpf does NOT know how to play checkers, much less, chess. Maybe he could do "Candyland"?

Imagine if any other president did this. Just months before the midterms, the bipartisan federal commission that helps states administer elections has been disbanded by Trump. Would your reaction be exactly the same? www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

#MorningVibe Take a moment to listen to Desmond Tutu, speaking at the launch of TheElders.org in 2007. “Evil doesn't have the last word… it is joy, caring and compassion that prevail in the end.” #Hope

Switzerland put solar panels in the unused space between train tracks. They are removeable, so you can still work on the tracks. And it's working!

GOP Rep. French Hill has to explain the Constitution to a confused Maria Bartiromo

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/...

ICE lied. Shocking. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Fuck, fuck, fuck. I hope there’s someone who can help me understand why there was never any investigation.

The Trump DOJ indicted 15 Minnesotans for joining Signal chats and attending meetings about ICE. A special ed teacher faces federal conspiracy charges for handing out radios at a protest. The administration that pardoned Jan. 6 rioters is calling this organized terrorism.

A Mexican national fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Houston had no criminal convictions during his decades living in the U.S. and was driving a crew to a homebuilding site when he was killed, his family and a Texas congresswoman said. https://to.pbs.org/4h2Uzyk

NEW from @gregsargent.bsky.social: it sure sounds like @ICEgov is trying to stop the witnesses to the shooting of Lorenzo Araujo from speaking out. All three of the people in the van have been kept in detention and now ICE is pressuring them all to agree to be deported. /reposted with correct name

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is the latest person to be killed by ICE agents shooting into cars. @nickmiroff.bsky.social reports on the incident in Houston and immigration officials’ increased targeting of people in vehicles. theatln.tc/ueQYHd3l

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a better American than the people leading our country. www.thebulwark.com/p/an-america...

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was simply on his way to work. Now his family is grieving a loss no family should endure. We cannot accept a system where going to work can end in tragedy at the hands of ICE. Abolish ICE and give his family the true answers they deserve. www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/u...
