Ed Artau met with staff in the office of Rick Scott to angle for the nomination less than two weeks after Trump’s election last fall. In the midst of his interviews, Artau was part of a panel of judges that ruled in Trump’s favor in the president’s case against members of the Pulitzer Prize Board.

A sprawling 2,560-bed facility in a high desert town is poised to become the largest migrant detention center in California under a new agreement between ICE and a private prison contractor.

Garcia said he was shaken by what he heard while he was detained. “They call them ‘bodies,’ they reduce them to bodies,” he said. “My blood was boiling.”

FYI!!

So agent Krasnov has a friend in the house ..

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

Our 1787 Constitution became law 237 yrs ago today when NH ratified it June 21, 1788, because Article VII made that new Constitution binding in all 13 states once the 9th ratified it, superseding Article XIII of the Articles of Confederation, which had impossibly required unanimity for every change.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a staggeringly racist and disgusting moment, JD Vance refers to Senator Alex Padilla as “José Padilla.” JD Vance is a complete embarrassment.

Congrats to my friend @shasti.bsky.social! Proud to have her join me as a Vice Chair of the DNC. If you don’t know her yet, you should. She worked for President Obama and later ran surrogate strategy for Bernie’s 2016 campaign.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

New definition of "Jewish" just dropped

HIRONO: If ordered by the president to shoot peaceful protesters in the legs, would you carry it out? HEGSETH: Of course I reject the premise of your question HIRONO: Considering that the president in his first term actually ordered such a thing, it's not a premise you can reject

This is perfect! Mark Carney is my new crush 😍

"Maybe you should have marched better in Dear Leader's birthday parade. Kidding! We would have deported her anyway. We don't care about you people."

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

This is going to come as news to the President. 🤡 www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

They are taking money from the poor to hand to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood politics. We must reject the “Big Beautiful” Bullshit.

President Obama spoke yesterday about the need for law firms to stand up to Trump. "Presumably, you went into the law because you believe in the law. If you are getting pressure from government saying ignore, fudge, or compromise that commitment. You have to push back."

Just pure unadulterated racism on Fox:

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Trump administration resumes processing visas for foreign students but demands access to social media accounts.

Hard to argue with that.

Elon Musk lashed out at his own AI chatbot, Grok, after it stated that right-wing violence has become “more frequent and deadly” than left-wing attacks.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) plans to introduce a new bill banning presidents from issuing crypto, but not before the Senate passes a crypto bill that omitted similar language.

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

𝗪𝗧𝗙!? Trump just ordered ICE to ramp up mass deportations — not quietly or strategically, but specifically in 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 like LA, NYC, and Chicago, from 650 arrests a day to 3,000. This isn’t about keeping our communities safe — it’s political revenge. 1/4 apnews.com/article/trum...

An elected official behaving this way…. Sadly not unbelievable anymore👇🏼👇🏼

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Tina Smith confronted her Senate colleague Mike Lee over his social media post that blamed the Minnesota lawmaker shootings on “Marxists.”

as someone prone to directly confronting people for stuff they say online, that from lee is the face of someone who did not expect to be confronted for something he said online

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Bravo this sign.

The Saudis just executed a blogger for promoting the idea that women should be able to drive (and other radical notions). No human rights for women in THAT Middle East country. No democracy, either. If you’re not fighting for women’s rights, you’re not supporting democracy either.

Mike Lee is fecal. For his written thoughts on the horror in Minnesota alone, any healthy republic would immediately expel him from its national legislature. That's all. That's the tweet.
