Rubio just set the precedent: lawful speech that challenges U.S. policy is all they need to justify disappearing someone. No charges. No evidence. Just beliefs. If you think this won’t come for you next, you’re already marked. Surveillance states hunt dissidents. Time to unify & get very loud!

If you are wealthy and not using it to positively impact the world. What are you doing with your life? Ewwwww, you’re gross 🙄

The government acknowledges that it ripped our client Mahmoud Khalil from his home and his family solely because of his political beliefs and expression. Ideas aren’t illegal. Mahmoud must be released.

Well said, and the truth hurts like hell…

The right thing to do would have been to deny the application before the deadline, as the liberal justices say they would have done.

When this treasonous Republican Administration is ousted and the Democrats get control, I nominate Jack Smith as Attorney General of the United States.

From the great David Brooks of The New York Times, in the May volume of The Atlantic. Everyone should read every word of this historic piece. It's worth the price of a subscription to The Atlantic, without question the most courageous magazine in America today.

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

Chief Justice Roberts has issued an “administrative stay” in the Harris/Wicox cases while the full Court considers the Trump administration’s emergency request to let him fire them without cause (so they go back to being fired—for now). Responses to the government are due next Tuesday by 5:00 ET.

NEWS Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard signed a sworn declaration stating that she was a resident of the State of Texas. But then she voted in Hawaii.

BREAKING: A 39-year-old DACA recipient and father of three from Kansas City was deported to Mexico last month, despite having valid documentation. According to a federal lawsuit, he was removed after traveling to Mexico to visit his grandfather’s grave.

Only a mentally ill person would think they can be a draft dodger, consistently insult veterans, active duty military, and dead heroes, and think they deserve to have a military parade in their own honor… Just sick!

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

Alabama’s stone in the Washington Monument might sum up Alabama perfectly.

Thank you for your Al.com piece on Tuberville. Keep it up. I'm hoping for a viable Dem in 2026! Embarrassing to have a Senator who does not luve in Alabama while having 2 homes in Florida/Ono Island.

The Supreme Court has paused the court order to have Kilmer Garcia returned to Maryland. It would be a shame if the public knew that it was Chief Justice Roberts that made the call. 👀 👀 BRING KILMAR HOME!!!!

The Fourth Circuit is famously succinct. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

Loser List.
