“These disturbing trends reflect the radicalization of religious Zionism since Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza, and the failure of secular Israeli Jews to articulate a vision that challenges Jewish supremacy.”

Karoline Leavitt is clearly making this stuff up as she goes.

If they are actually going to enforce deportations in FL at job sites then the construction industry in FL will grind to a halt. Until they can replace those employees with US-born workers willing to work outside in the summer in 100 degree heat & humidity. Should be no problem.

“Stephen Miller … said … that the administration is pushing ICE to carry out ‘a minimum’ of 3,000 arrests per day — a target that would amount to an unprecedented expansion of immigration enforcement.” To make these numbers, they’ll try to arrest anyone they can. Start carrying documentation!

The Trump administration is on the wrong side of everything. Just more proof.

“In March, House Republicans introduced a bill that would end the issuance of student visas to Chinese nationals seeking to study at U.S. universities…, citing national security concerns. The legislation is unlikely to pass amid widespread criticism, including that it is racist.” WTF year is this?

How does this Make America Healthy Again?

Congresswoman @repjasmine.bsky.social tells me why she is pitching herself to be the ranking Dem on the House Oversight Committee. It’s all about the moment we are in as a nation. Watch:

ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.

RFK Jr’s Department of Health and Human Services has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract with the company to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus.

FBI Dan is on the case.

Another win!!! Now release him. A federal judge just ruled that the law used to detain Mr. Khalil is likely unconstitutional. Why? Because it’s too vague and was never meant to apply to someone like him a U.S. resident who never left the country.

When do we start winning?

128 days too late.

“The policy may be modified. It may prove less onerous than it looks at first glance. Even if that happens, though, this is another blow to a great American success story.” Just one blow after another. Can the entire country please get a years-long restraining order from this administration?

The people of Missouri made it very clear: They wanted abortion rights (at least until fetal viability). Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen.

They sure do seem very adamant on these denials.

It’s now Marxist to understand that the Constitution only authorizes Congress to impose tariffs.

Today Palestinian UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour broke down in tears during an emotional speech to the UN Security Council, describing the “unbearable” suffering and death of children in Gaza. If you have a heart, you will cry too. If you don’t, just go ahead and yawn like the Israeli ambassador did.

“The 600-day anniversary comes at a particularly painful moment: … with a total stalemate in [hostage] negotiations and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government’s determination to continue this ‘forever war’ and inability to articulate any vision for a post-war Gaza.”

If Karoline Leavitt had gotten an LGBTQ degree from Harvard she would know to say fewer instead of less.

Yup.
