Eager to soothe Trump’s wounded ego, the Supreme Court ended nationwide injunctions today. Trump is crowing, but this just means we’ll take our smashing wins in 4 district courts and turn them into wins in 94 district courts. People born here are citizens, period.

Emolumental: A United Arab Emirates-based fund has bought $100 million worth of digital tokens issued by World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture of U.S. President Donald Trump's family, becoming its largest publicly known investor. www.reuters.com/business/fin...

#ProudBlue SCOTUS (6–3) just let Trump’s order to gut birthright citizenship via injunctions, to take effect in the US, despite 150+ years of 14th Amendment precedent. The Court didn’t rule it constitutional, just said lower courts can’t fully block it. This is judicial deference, not justice.

This is the tent rental company that is helping provide tents for the concentration camp of alligator Alcatraz here in Sarasota. They aren’t answering the phone but you can leave a voicemail to let them know this is a bad look! Also if you’re local in Sarasota, please never use this tent company.

Woman seen on video being detained during DTLA immigration raid is a US citizen, family says.

Imagine a bottle of the cheapest commercially available gin clutched in his right hand and this is ALWAYS how you should imagine the man Trump chose to run the PENTAGON

This has to be on purpose.

New from 404 Media: ICE is using a new facial recognition app to identify people, leaked emails show. Point camera at person, reveal their identity. It uses the CBP system that records peoples' faces as they enter or exit the U.S. Now, turned inwards to be used by ICE www.404media.co/ice-is-using...

NEW VIDEO: One of the most egregious abuses of power and attacks on the federal judiciary is taking place in Maryland and it is not getting the urgent attention it deserves. In a normal time this would be a national scandal. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqrO...

🚑 MEDICAID covers 41% of ALL CHILDBIRTHS in the USA. In RURAL areas, it COVERS 50% ⛑️ 🏥 Many WOMEN will DIE without MEDICAID 🚩 #MedicaidSavesOurLives

Anyplace else in the world and this would be considered a grave international incident. In saner times, this would never have happened at all.

Holy fuck! 70 US citizens "deported" (kidnapped & trafficked to a foreign country)....IN HIS 1ST TERM!!! Oh, this time it's gonna come out to be WAAAAAAYYYYYYY more. m.economictimes.com/news/interna...

Well that was quick

👮‍♂️ ☠️ 🚔 🤬 PRIVATE PRISONS and PALANTIR 🤬 🌎 this administration is PROFITING from INVESTMENTS in their EVIL KIDNAPPING and RENDITIONS 🤯 migrantinsider.com/p/stephen-mi...

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

"Rejection of Truth by Trump's Own Advisor The sustained dissemination of the "Big Lie" occurred despite President Trump being repeatedly and unequivocally informed by his most senior and trusted advisors that his claims of outcome-determinative fraud were false. "

We will not stay silent on vaccines, say leaders of five major U.S. medical associations @acpimphysicians.bsky.social @ameracadpeds.bsky.social @acog.org @aafp.org @idsainfo.bsky.social

"ICE thugs have good reason to expect their superiors will give them a pass for even egregious misconduct and are behaving accordingly. But some may be less cavalier if they're on notice about the risk of being held accountable under state criminal laws."

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Look at the body language. He’s enraged all the time.

NEW: I speak to the author of the ethics report showing Stephen Miller owning stock in Palantir; MAKING MONEY off his own mass deportation policy using our personal data. Free to listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

'It's not a cult': Trump slammed for selling 'gross' t-shirts calling him 'daddy' https://twp.ai/4ion2c

⬇️ Below is a public testimony by an ICE bounty hunter. He is paid $1000 per immigrant head.

Judging by what we've been hearing about conditions in these privately run prisons, this is not surprising and we will no doubt see many more unnecessary deaths.

BREAKING: $250 billion of cuts to Medicaid (which Trump promised never to cut) have been vetoed by Senate parliamentarian www.huffpost.com/entry/parlia...

NEW: Emil Bove does not deny telling DoJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. Thank you for your line of questioning, @schiff.senate.gov

PICU/NICU RN here👋🏼 The American Academy of Pediatrics just said it will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule regardless of what RFK Jr's AICP recommends. This is leadership. 🫡

NEW: A federal prosecutor just confirmed the Trump administration plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a country that’s not his native El Salvador during an emergency hearing on Abrego Garcia’s motion to be returned to Maryland after his TN release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🛑 𝗡𝗢 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗧 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗘 CA lawmakers just introduced SB 627, a bill that would BAN law enforcement from hiding their identities during operations in our communities. Why? Because masked, unidentifiable agents have been terrorizing neighborhoods without names, badges, or accountability. 1/4

Never thought of it this way. Ahahahaha!

Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defensiveness.

Senator Murphy coming out of private briefing on the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites: It still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months… the allegations that we have obliterated their program just don’t seem to stand up…

"[Iran] said, 'We're going to shoot them.' ... I said it's fine."

This won’t succeed but it is not normal. This is very dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Sure, we have had senior Cabinet officials who seethed about this story or that from time to time that they felt was unfair. But we’ve never had a Secretary of Defense who spends every single day so completely consumed by media coverage to the point where he can’t even function.

10 years ago today SCOTUS gave same sex couples the legal right to marry & the country did not collapse. 😜 70% of Americans now support same-sex marriage. However 32 states still have dormant bans that could be reactivated if Obergefell is overturned. The fight continues. #HappyPride 🏳️‍🌈

It’s hard to be any more pathetic or embarrassing than this…

The Secretary of Defensiveness ☠️😂

GOP VIBE: “LET THEM EAT CAKE” 🎂 🥳

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

This is amazing! www.washingtonblade.com/2025/06/25/i...

This man should never EVER be a judge, especially with a lifetime appointment. Please call your senators and tell them why.
