Monstrous: "They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

It’s bad that Trump thinks he got elected Boss of America and the whole government is just his staff, but it’s much worse that a majority of the Supreme Court and the leaders of both chambers of Congress agree

Terminal Lawyer Brain is declaring that SCOTUS didn't rule against the Constitution's clear birthright citizenship provision, they merely ruled that the president and states can ignore that Constitutional provision, and most targets of their abuses cannot do anything to stop it in a timely manner.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until now to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Another way to put it: A federal judiciary that mostly tries to follow the law, and a Supreme Court opposed to that whenever it conflicts with the majority's ideological goals.

“Make America Healthy Again” has a simple premise: Americans don’t need more access to medical care. They just need better nutrition and exposure to fewer environmental toxins. Unfortunately, Trump is A) taking away nutritional assistance and B) expanding use of environmental toxins.

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

Once again, how does this fit into the MAHA agenda? RFK Jr’s whole shtick is Americans don’t need more access to medical care. They need only healthier food and fewer environmental toxins. Meanwhile the administration is reducing nutritional assistance and increasing environmental toxins.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

Rep. Diaz-Balart (R-FL) wrote to DHS Sec Noem raising “serious concerns” about detention of Gregory Antonio Sanabria Tarazona, who was jailed in Venezuela for 3+ years & reportedly tortured for participation in anti-Maduro protests. He had permission to be in US thru TPS, which Trump just rescinded

Israel's attack on Iran looks broader than an effort to curb a nuclear program, aimed at collapsing the govt. And if Iran sees a truly existential threat, they could do something drastic. Either way, if this doesn't end soon, it could spiral into a regime change war involving the US. My latest:

Once again, it seems to me that when a court finds the president is doing something wildly unconstitutional, it is dangerous and unhealthy that we default to “but let him keep doing it until multiple layers of review all agree.”

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

Stephen Miller said recently that American scientific achievement in the mid-20th century owed little to immigrants, given immigration quotas at the time. Someone should tell him that from 1945- 1974, 16 of the 30 U.S. winners of the Nobel in physics were immigrants www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Russia-Ukraine peace talks are a farce. Failed in Turkey for the same predictable reason. Russia pretends it’s interested in peace. US pretends that too, to pretend Trump is a peacemaker. And Ukraine pretends he is, to show (yet again) that Russia, not Ukraine, is the obstacle to peace. My latest:

Starving people in need and weakening America’s soft power was apparently so important to the Trump regime that they’re letting food that could feed millions rot in storage rather than giving it out as previously scheduled.

Drama over at X/xAI. Whatever you ask Grok, it pivots to “white genocide” in South Africa. The last panel is what Grok claims was a “verbatim” system prompt that caused the behavior. Jury out. It’s now fixed but they haven’t yet bothered explaining. This, not those AGI fantastical scenarios.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.
