DHS raised ICE’s daily arrest quota to 3,000—even though they’re already over capacity. CA immigration attorneys confirm detention centers are dangerously overcrowded. Immigrants are being locked in defunct prisons with no lawyers, no access to basic care— families can’t even find them. #OnYourSide

“Chinese Nationals Charged with Conspiracy & Smuggling a Dangerous Biological Pathogen into the US for their Work at a Univ. of Michigan Laboratory” This sounds fishy. Fusarium is a common fungus & a bane to farmers. Different strains attack different crops (blight, rust, etc.). Research is normal.

“As many as 2.7 million households would lose food benefits, with the average blow to the family grocery budget totaling $254 a month… “By design, the Trumpy Medicaid changes will remove 10.3 million people from their health insurance, according to the CBO…” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

Update on @npr.org: The Department of Agriculture's unprecedented demand that states and payment processors turn over sensitive data about people who receive federal food assistance is on hold — for now.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a GROUNDBREAKING new treatment for aggressive breast cancer with a 100% SURVIVAL RATE. By combining chemotherapy with Olaparib (Lynparza) BEFORE surgery, EVERY patient who received the protocol survived the CRITICAL three-year post-treatment period. 🧪🧵⬇️

This is why my eyes roll into the back of my head when people say Josh Hawley may have had a change of heart and be working for the people. He’s has not. This is Josh Hawley. This is who he’s always been. An insufferable jerk.

“Trump flipped on us!” No, sweetie, his singular talent is convincing his victims they’re in on the scam.

Trump keeps using Mafia-like threats to get firms "not to publicly attribute price hikes to tariffs." When Mattel's CEO talked of this, he responded: “We’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States... I wouldn’t want to have him as an executive too long.”

Worth reading to grasp the extent. Consequences need to come at some point.

The Pentagon is making plans to strip the name from a Navy ship that honors the gay rights icon Harvey Milk, defense officials said Tuesday, the Trump administration’s latest move in America’s culture wars.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

#ProudBlue Mayor Baraka (Newark) is suing Alina Habba claiming malicious prosecution. All charges against Ras Baraka were dropped permanently. Even Judge Espinosa was appalled at how the press knew of the dismissal before he received the proposed order. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/n...

There is no bottom to this hate filled bigoted administration www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just watched Miles Taylor on MSNBC talking about the devastating impact of 47 issuing an executive order targeting him and how endangered our democracy is. He mentioned this organization which is helping people like him. EndPresidentialRevenge.org

If you're wondering what legal actions are being taken against the Trump regime EOs, I found a newsletter that has a list of all lawsuits involving them. I may just bookmark this for comfort reading (especially seeing the number against him versus defending). www.courtwatch.news/p/lawsuits-r...

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

Along with the obvious horrifying evil of this, it is also, again, a massive First Amendment violation that prevents every Jew in America from accessing life-saving maternal health care that is grounded in the most central core tenets of their faith. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Trump has revoked guidance that directed hospitals to provide emergency abortions to women when necessary to stabilize their medical condition — eg when women are experiencing medical emergencies and need abortion to prevent organ loss or severe hemorrhaging, among other serious complications

The pro life position is to let women die in a hospital parking lot while their partners scream for help

Rescissions are here: "The White House sent a formal request to Congress to claw back funding for NPR, PBS and international aid that lawmakers had previously approved. "The package would cancel $9.4 billion appropriated by Congress, aiming to make permanent some of DOGE's spending cuts."

Fuck Your Cards trump 🤣💥

The voters in Hurricane Alley voted for a FEMA Director who has never heard of hurricane season. The U.S. hurricane season officially began on Sunday and lasts through November. The NOAA forecast last week was that this year's season is expected to bring as many as 10 hurricanes.

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

ICE goons roleplaying Call of Duty while in front of a Mexican restaurant with a sign that says “Make Tacos not Walls”, as if the symbolism could get more on the nose

US FDA Challenge: find me one child in the entire country who was ever “kicked out of school for not getting a fifth COVID booster shot”

Peak NIMBY brain is trying to keep a neighboring airport open, even though the planes that land there are literally spraying toxins over your home, because if the airport closes then they're going to build affordable housing there. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/sant...

First NIMBYs complained that the airport was too loud, got private jets banned from it, and had the end of the runway plowed to keep them out. Then NIMBYs said that if it closes outright, the airport should become a park (next to a park). Now they say "keep it open!" Bad faith all the way down.

Amazing list of action items - follow Guardrails on Substack! Congress will be officially out of session for summer recess August 4 through August 29, 2025, and while lawmakers are not in Washington, this is your moment to be heard right at home. Attend events & make sure you're heard!
