The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

The thing is, it must have been apparent that the grant of this stay presents some difficulty in understanding when read with the AARP Alien Enemies Act due process decision from April. But the majority couldn’t be bothered to write an even short shadow docket opinion to provide some guidance?

This is 22 KM from Trump's golf course, where the local turbines that helped make this possible drive him batshit insane.

The compromised US supreme court has given Trump the greenlight to deport people to countries other than their homelands, including active war zones. ICE has deported at least 70 US citizens and an unknown number of legal migrants, including rape victims. #StopICE

House Republicans want to slash funding for the Government Accountability Office — a nonpartisan watchdog that investigates wrongdoing at federal agencies — by nearly half in the next fiscal year. So much for reining in waste, fraud, and abuse.

The Court has deemed district court orders irrelevant. They can be repeatedly & explicitly violated by this Administration in ways that will irreparably harm migrants (sent to war-torn S. Sudan or Libya w/o due process) & the SCOTUS conservatives will defer. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

I really wonder whether Stephen Miller's working the judges has finally broken them down.

This is a devastating ruling. You can read it, and Sotomayor's biting dissent here: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Jon Finer, one of the negotiators of the JCPoA: "To people who say, how can you trust Iran? You didn't have to trust Iran under [the JCPoA]. There were weapons inspectors... all over Iran's facilities, and they were saying right up until the minute that Trump pulled out that Iran was complying."

I've noted before that the MAGA movement has a lot in common with The Cultural Revolution, China's own cult of personality. This is yet one more example: advocating against capitalist free markets.

Kinda amazing how Iran’s status as an imminent nuclear threat coincided perfectly with Netanyahu’s desperate need to bolster his own domestic support.

New Yorkers: for the love of all that's good, anyone but Cuomo.

This administration just *loves* hiding the metrics on how they're performing and just tell the mouth-droolers how great everything is.

Worse approval ratings than chlamydia, let’s see if anything matters.

I hate him.

He’s just casually threatening Russia with nuclear submarines now…

Trump regime ICE troopers attacked an elderly woman (legal resident) selling tamales, they manhandled her so violently that she fainted, then threw her on the ground and stripped her, she had to be hospitalized. She received medical help after US citizens intervened. #StopICE

Home sales posted their slowest May in 16 years (during the housing crash). Endless winning from Donald Trump. 🙄

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

Reup: Thune is holding Senate Republicans in town in a bid to get the Big Ugly to Trump by July 4. The rush is to fund Stephen Miller's gulag--Kristi Noem has been burning through $$. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/23/j...

President Trump’s media company, the parent of his Truth Social platform, just announced that it will buy back $400 million of its shares, a strategy typically used to boost a company’s stock value. the company has consistently lost money since it went public.

Oliver North on Fox News complaining that Iran has missiles is... I mean, do they even know who the fuck he is and what he did? He sold Iran missiles!

I wonder if Putin is pissed that he now is co-running the United States with Netanyahu.

How do you know the orange felon truly hates the United States? He put a 22 year old named Thomas Fugate in charge of domestic terror prevention who has absolutely no experience other than being a grocery clerk, gardener and former Heritage intern. We are truly in danger.

Trump wants to be a war president. Everything he has done has been aimed at concentrating power in his hands and undermining democratic institutions. War is the ultimate power grab

Yep. We just totally overreacted.

The President of the United States: "The 'N word' should not be treated so casually. I guess that’s why Putin’s 'THE BOSS.'"

Been waiting to watch this again. Seriously: there's an Irish equivalent of this and it really helped me understand how to vote effectively.

Seen in southern CA: ICE pinãtas 💀🙌

So now we’re here—on the brink of war—because a 78-year-old human root canal with impulse control issues got his ego dinged online and thought imperiling millions of lives was a fair trade for not being the butt of a trending hashtag. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

DHS is looking for former law enforcement, former military, and former terrorism analysts to track migrants in MD, and not to find gang members or drug dealers. Migrants they find at or looking for work. Law-abiding people going to immigration check ins. Parents at elementary school graduations.

After weeks of having visit requests denied, Avellaneda Delgado's children saw him in detention and were shocked to find him in a wheelchair, unable to speak. The next day, he died. He spent four decades raising a family & working on farms in the U.S. He was a human being. He was our neighbor.
