"'If they attempt to deport the Afghans, you’re going to see actual physical conflict between U.S. veterans and ICE,' he predicted..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Excellent.

Fascism, no chaser. It’s here.

Fiona Hill: "The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression."

1. A transgender man was detained in South Carolina for using the restroom that Republicans want him to use. Officers allegedly hurled slurs at him for doing so. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-man-...

Huge, horrifying story.

Key word: TEMPORARILY. This is standard while the case is under review. www.cnn.com/2025/05/29/b...

Some days the broken clock is right.

This is what happens when nutty anti-vaxxers are made Directors of our Health and Human Services. We are going to be killed by the dumbest people on Earth. www.notus.org/health-scien...

OK now.

I just spent some time catching up on today's testimony in the Diddy trial and it's monstrous. Just vile.

First NO ONE was the administrator of DOGE, now EVERYONE is the administrator of DOGE #WITAOD

John Fetterman needs to fucking resign. Full stop. Holy shit. open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

Coming up at 12n ET, we're talking about the court ruling last night that destroyed Trump's tariff scheme, the new acronym Wall Street is using to describe him, the rumored Washington throuple that has heads spinning, Trump's denial of FEMA funds, and way more. youtube.com/live/BXggvw8...

EVERYONE must stand up and demand the removal of these provisions from the budget bill. I don’t care who represents you. Make your calls. Let trans people live, receive medical care, and THRIVE.

Lots of legal news this week, so easy to miss that NPR has filed a lawsuit against Trump. Protecting the 1st Am & the balance of power among the 3 branches of gov't is a big deal right now & it's all happening here. joycevance.substack.com/p/big-bird-f...

Well played.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

Rock on.

This notice was just filed in the Harvard lawsuit against the Trump administration over its abrupt cancellation of the school’s ability to enroll international students. If this reads to you like post-hoc due process to stave off a legal challenge … you wouldn’t be completely wrong.

Given that rendition flights are going to Guatemala daily, he should already be back.

Just a reminder that whatever ongoing advisory role he is going to have (and he will, no matter what he’s saying now), this will also be true.

Rep. Ashley Hinson mentioned Donald Trump and his spending bill—and the town hall crowd erupted.

Just in time for no new Covid boosters in the US, no shots for pregnant women and no shots for kids. WHAT COULD GO WRONG

DO THIS PLEASE.

stop writing that he’s leaving DOGE without mentioning that just a few days ago the solicitor general told the United States Supreme Court that he is not part of DOGE

"The Texas Senate passed a pair of bills early Wednesday that would protect parents who refuse to affirm their child’s gender identity or sexual identity and require state government data to reflect people’s biological sex." [Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette] "or sexual identity"

LOL.

This is somehow nauseating and delicious at the same time.

Breaking News: A judge said the government should release Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist employed by Harvard University, saying U.S. customs had “no factual or legal basis” for revoking her visa.

I wouldnt be too quick to buy this. Musk got what he came for all along—our personal information. The world’s richest guy doesn’t walk away from a $250 mil investment empty handed. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

Gutwrenching. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

I am going to refrain from skeeting what I am thinking.

LOL

I’m sure all Senate Republicans will agree with this sound and reasonable position.

Amen.
