Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Finally, some mainstream press coverage of how woefully behind the entire SpaceX Starship project is. Rich Guy is talking about a Mars transfer orbit in 2026 and a lunar soft landing in 2027... It's May 30, 2025! They have zero space-worthy Starships assembled or crew-rated components. Zero.

This article is an excellent explainer of why Trump is just wrong. Categorically wrong, insofar as he speaks of emergencies and invasions that aren't actually happening. And (thanks-be-to-jaysis) the courts are correcting him.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

An incredibly devastating decision which simply ignores the human costs and blesses the Trump admin's stripping of status of hundreds of thousands of people who entered the country legally — which the explicit stated goal of rapidly deporting those people without a court hearing.

A family left a Denver courtroom after an immigration hearing in which the judge dismissed the removal case against them. But as the man, woman and small child left, dismissal order in hand, they were detained by plain-clothed federal agents who didn't identify themselves, an attorney said.

Ooh. Juicy story from @adamwren.bsky.social at @politico.com: The GOP is trying to keep Rep. Bill Huizenga out of the #MISen race b/c they want to clear the field for ex-Rep. Mike Rogers, who narrowly lost last year. But Sean Duffy is headlining a fundraiser for Huizenga, and MAGAworld is pissed.

The GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” would be the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history. On average, someone in the top 0.1% would gain around $390,000 next year. But someone in the bottom 20% would lose $820, and nearly twice as much—$1,545—in 2033.
