WHCA President Eugene Daniels statement about the White Houseā€™s removal of the wire services from the daily press pool. ā€œā€¦ the administration remains unwilling to provide guarantees they will not continue to engage in the viewpoint discrimination that was ruled unlawful by a federal court.ā€

Outrageous, sure. But major leopard/face plot twist at the end!

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, whatā€™s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an ā€œadministrative errorā€; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

He may not think people like her exist, but Sarah McBride just scored a win over Trump. www.advocate.com/politics/sar...

The White House has ended the wires spot on the White House press pool because the AP recently won an injunction, and the judge wrote that the WH couldnā€™t treat the AP any worse than its peers. No wires included? AP is now equal to its peers, the administration seems to think. Ridiculous.

Just a reminder that transgender people are not causing Americans to lose their retirement savings.

The White House will make him a 9/11 mastermind before all is said and done.

Jesse did not ā€˜question an aspect of the progressive message.ā€™ He dedicated his *entire career* to popularizing the idea that progressives are unhinged, anti-science freaks who are foisting permanent surgeries on kids without assessment.

The organizers are responding to concerns from international travelers under the second Trump administration.

Canā€™t take Trumpā€™s doctor seriously when he writes this in the report. ā€œPresident Trump's days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events.ā€

Sporting a new look, Pete Buttigieg let loose on Trumpā€™s antics. www.advocate.com/news/pete-bu...

They're going to pretend that this was all "The Art of the Deal" and not a tail-between-the-legs last-minute reversal after it was clear that Trump single-handedly set the global economy on fire. But we all know what was being said just yesterday.

Security cosplay: Chaya Raichik is one of the most hateful people on the Internet. She has made a living out of demonizing and attacking LGBTQ people around the country. Her posts have spawned death threats, bomb threats and caused evacuations at schools and libraries and hospitals nationwide.

Itā€™s all part of the cosplay that the people in this administration are so intoā€¦ See FBI podcaster Dan Bongino.

Duh. Everyone in this administration wants to cosplay important.

So basically the Supreme Court just cleared the way for Trumpā€™s masked secret police to round up people and ā€œwhisk them away.ā€

Justice Jackson warned that ā€œThe President of the United States has invoked a centuries-old wartime statute to whisk people away to a notoriously brutal, foreign-run prison. For lovers of liberty, this should be quite concerning.ā€ Thatā€™s what hey can do now. Just whisk people away. Terrifying.

SCOTUS let Trump deport people to a brutal Salvadoran prison. No hearing first. Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson, and Barrett (in part) dissented. This is happening. In America. In 2025. Court says due process can happen later. The government admits it canā€™t even bring people back if it gets it wrong.

Your child is more likely to die from measles than get beat by one of their trans peers in an athletic competition, and I wish our government's actions would reflect that.

Iā€™m not sure this is giving what it means to be giving, but I give the effort credit.
