We are part of a movement of tens of thousands of people across the country bearing witness, and it’s important that those people be unafraid when they show up for court watching. (3/5)

Contrary to what the Assistant U.S. Attorney alleged today, we did not create an unsafe and disruptive situation by demanding access to the 10th floor at 26 Federal Plaza last September — that’s what ICE is doing there every day. (2/5)

We’ll learn the verdict of my federal trial tomorrow morning at 9am. As expected, my stellar legal team demolished the federal government’s bogus case. (1/5)

SYKES: Do you love inflation, yes or no? WRIGHT: No SYKES: Do you know that your boss just stated that he 'loves inflation'? WRIGHT: He's an entertaining, hyperbolic guy who has done tremendous leadership S: So it sounds like you're unaware that President Trump just said he 'loves inflation'

She's straightforwardly saying schools’ federal funds are at risk unless they reduce their Black student population to something Trump is more comfortable with By design, the safest way for schools to avoid suspicion is to not admit Black students at all ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The motives behind striking bridges and infrastructure don't matter, dipshit. They're still war crimes. Like a pedophile getting caught in the act and asking indignantly, "How dare you question my intentions?"

god, I despise that woman

That’s a hell of a place to bury that revelation, but thanks for sitting on this for your book Mags

Oh.

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

New: Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people. Seemingly every week there's a new case, the details usually similar. Cops use unfettered access to Flock to surveil an ex. They most often search their plates hundreds of times over course of months www.404media.co/cops-keep-ge...

There's a surprisingly effective Republican playbook that's hard to unsee once you see it: 1) Enshittify a government service. Add red tape, means-testing, etc. to make it slower, costlier, more annoying for participants. 2) Use its shittiness to justify gutting or privatizing the service.

If I were Andy Burnham, watching Starmer's hopelessly impotent response to the national emergency caused by fascist agitators at home and abroad, I would see both an opportunity and a necessity to do things very differently

heartsick at what's happening in Belfast. especially there, to see people burned out of their homes is a potent regression, both for echoes of NI history and because this looks a lot like American Jim Crow racial terror.

I think it's now fair to say that when it comes to trans kids, the NHS is no longer practising medicine. It is the instrument of a transphobic conspiracy theory perpetuated by ideologues and quacks that would rather harm children than see them turn out trans. Despicable. And all Labour's doing.

Elon Musk is directly participating in the incitement of this, using SpaceX assets (Twitter/X is now part of SpaceX)

They need to be disbarred.

This is bad. At least 9 county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas of Virginia have now openly declared that they won't enforce the assault weapons ban that the Dem state legislature recently passed. It's a MAGA nullification movement. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

Elon Musk incited pogroms in Belfast.

There are only two types of pasteurization where temperatures meet or exceed boiling and one of those is for shelf stable milk that just isn't very common in the US (think parmalat)

Since that pasteurized milk article is getting attention, I need to point out that the article doesn't actually explain what pasteurization is and given that it includes people arguing against "boiled milk" it's useful to note that classic pasteurization uses temperatures much lower than boiling

this is amazing

The GOP's South Carolina primary for governor will have a runoff, AP calls. It'll be between Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, the Trump-endorsed candiate, & Attorney General Alan Wilson. That means that Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman have lost. (They also both gave up their House reelection bids.)

Clark County (Las Vegas + surroundings) finally came in, and sank Sharron Angle into a distant third — while catapulting Jim Marchant, a bigtime election denier who was the GOP's 2022 nominee, into a very tight race for first.

The AP calls the Democratic nomination in Maine's Senate race for Graham Platner with just 8% of the estimated vote reporting. At this stage, he has 75% of the counted vote, with Janet Mills at 19% and David Costello at 6%. Platner is now slated to face Susan Collins in November.

The president’s allies responded to an election loss by storming the Capitol and trying to overturn election results. And yet it’s liberals who are everywhere called on to work to show they can be trusted to accept results, & to accept to change the rules of elections accordingly.

Meanwhile social security insolvency possibly by 2032

He literally uses the word "vouch"!

The first grand jury proceeding in the Broadview Six case began with a *textbook example* of forbidden prosecutorial vouching. Misconduct from the start. Just incredible stuff.

I went to this ICE flight fuel stop at BWI with @jjindc.bsky.social. Once again the shackled migrants sat onboard for hours AT THE INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL, administered by the Md. Aviation Authority. This is what you see on MAA’s website, @govwesmoore. It just took off. Next stop, fuel in Bulgaria.

Refreshing to see a candidate for higher office talk like this

BREAKING: A federal judge in California has, as a very interim step, blocked Stanford children's hospital (LPCH) from turning over patient records responsive to the N.D. Texas trans care grand jury subpoena and barred DOJ from taking any action to enforce it while he considers a new TRO request.

I just don't understand why my wellbeing and my ability to have a happy life should be sidelined because of the nebulous, ill-defined, hypothetical "concerns" of bigots who may or may not be present at the same time I use a service.

The systematic gaslighting of the EHRC to push this idea of "this is what the law has always said, you never had these rights" is so demoralising and exhausting. It's just so clear that these organisations have been captured by bigotry, and we are being told to accept that our reality isn't real.

Incumbent now for world cup referees to show FIFA what unity actually means, and refuse to officiate until Artan joins them. Enough of this racist bullshit already.

They should be transferring most of the US games out to Mexico and Canada regardless. The US is unable and unwilling to host any of this in good faith. None of these US based games are going to be legitimate and fair.

This will go down as a major stain on FIFA and its World Cup before a ball has even been kicked. Infantino has been banging on about the most inclusive World Cup and Africa’s top referee can’t even get into the country. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/w...

FIFA has now confirmed that Artan will no longer be able to officiate at the World Cup, which like for players, is the biggest moment in the lives of referees. FIFA has said it is nothing to do with them, but a decision made by US authorities and that the decision is not likely to be changed.

Confirmation from US border authorities that Omar Artan was denied entry after arriving because of what are unspecified “vetting concerns” after “processing” required to verify information. And still no comment from FIFA.

Reports that a referee on FIFA’s World Cup list from Africa has been turned back after trying to enter the US for the tournament. Surely, this is basic stuff FIFA should have ironed out well before now. FIFA has been, as usual, contacted for comment.

Imagine being the most decorated gymnast in history, almost dying, and media referring to you as “NFL Wife” as your greatest achievement.😑 Misogyny is a helluva drug. Smh. Truly hope Simone is safe and makes a full recovery. What a horrible experience.

Amid a series of lawsuits, President Donald Trump’s administration is now moving to carry out a March 31 executive order restricting voting by mail ahead of the November midterm elections. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/08/r...

Give it up for the American healthcare system!

Lots of people missing the point here. Mike Johnson knows what he’s saying is absurd. That’s why he’s saying it. His message to the GOP base is that California is illegitimate because a lot of non-white people live there and vote. His message to you, dear reader, is a middle finger.

the trans agenda is literally just trans people asking to keep the rights trans people had without much issue until a few years ago, when Republicans started trying to take them away and a frightening amount of Democrats decided some of that was reasonable

GEO Group, a private prison company, signed a contract to give ICE use of Delaney Hall and “support services” like security, maintenance, food services, etc. in exchange for over $60 mil/yr But it is the detainees—not GEO Group—who actually do that work, for free ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

For further context, the arrest/charge/conviction bar, as well as the change to validity periods, applies to all "discretionary" EADs, which includes anything listed in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.12(c) and includes (c)(9) (applicants for adjustment of status) and (c)(26) (H-4 EADs). Here's proposed reg text:
