Unsatisfied with one immigrant detention center in the Everglades, the DeSantis and Trump administrations are looking at a second one at a National Guard training base further north in Florida.

Baltimore swelters as temps hit 105 degrees. Here’s when the heat dome ends.

something I kind of suspect is that Elon Musk pushed the Twitter algo to promote extreme views about Israel into people's feeds and so the many reporters who are still addicted to the site wound up grossly overestimating the salience this foreign policy issue had in fucking municipal elections.

The article is able to into detail about the False claims, Journalists: reiterating the lies spreads the lies.

Donald Trump is getting rid of bans on junk fees that Democrats put in place. He’s letting giant corporations rip you off at every turn — serving his billionaire donors, not you. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Followers: When I say "We" I don't mean it in the royal sense, and I don't have a mouse in my shirt pocket - I mean it factually in the sense that we, as a country, like it or not, now rendition immigrants, no matter how much most of us disagree with that idea.

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

Renditioning immigrants is now a thing we do. SCOTUS clears the path for Trump's network of global gulags And the MAGA justices are burning down the judiciary in the process. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-thir...

Seth Meyers: Trump Drops F-Bomb After Israel-Iran Ceasefire Violations, Wants Nobel Peace Prize #blogpost

No president has had such an extended honeymoon with the press. Trump's trade wars are unpopular, Trump's real wars are unpopular, Trump's bigotry against working immigrants is unpopular, Trump's Cuts to U.S. safety net programs are unpopular, bu the press still thing he's peachy, not impeachy.

I wonder if the Democratic establishment will take the right lesson from tonight, which is not to run a horrible human being with terrible policies who hates Democrats

The U.S. is on the brink of losing measles elimination status — 1,200+ cases, 3 deaths, and falling vaccination rates. A preventable disease, back with a vengeance. Sixty years of progress slipping away. www.statnews.com/2025/06/24/u... #BlueSky #MedSky #SciSky #IDSky #NurseSky #EMSky #PedsSky

So a guy who was a senior official at the DOJ, and whose countenance radiates pure evil, told other officials they needed to ignore judges and rulings and tell them “fuck you,” and now he wants to be a federal judge? Seems problematic. Wonder how many Democrats will vote yea?

Sorry had to delete a skeet after I noted the substack link.

1. Donald is embarrassed by shoddy military birthday parade. 2. Donald's bill in Congress is wildly unpopular. 3. Donald's ICE kidnappings are wildly unpopular. 4. To distract, Donald bombs Iran. 5. This is wildly unpopular too. 6. So Donald declares ceasefire. 7. Iran/Israel ignore Donald.
