Crockett: The First Lady, a model— when I say model I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level— applied for an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement… She had none of those. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math ain’t mathin

@timmiller.bsky.social: "They were zip tying the elderly people in wheelchairs who were protesting Medicaid cuts which is a bad image. I don't know if it was really necessary to bring out the zip ties."

NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

Comparing Trump to a "grandpa" who "really shouldn't be driving anymore," Walsh calls for someone to "write a book about Trump’s cognitive decline and how the people around him know about it but are covering it up."

The problem with having a congenital liar as president is that sometimes the firehouse of lies can be laughably cartoonish, but more often they involve things that are really freaking important for the American people and world to know. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Reuters shows just 36% of Americans support Trump's bombing. The CNN poll shows 56% of people are against the bombing, and 55% don't trust Trump to make the right decisions on Iran. The startling number of that group, however, comes from a whopping 62% of independents.

CNN: Three sources tell CNN that according to an early U.S. Intelligence assessment, the U.S. Military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Americans disapprove of the strikes, 56% to 44%, with strong disapproval outpacing the share who strongly approve. Most distrust Trump’s decision-making on the use of force in Iran, with about 6 in 10 worried that the strikes will increase the Iranian threat to the US.

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.

Any good dictatorship has their form of secret police. When Putin launched Russia’s war against Ukraine by annexing Crimea, his “green men” were anonymous, wore masks and had no identifying insignia, just like our unidentified men with masks and unmarked vehicles.

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards. Me, via “One First”:

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

An Iranian official claims Tehran never received a ceasefire proposal from the US and saw no reason to end the war and claims that Tehran will continue the war and that Israeli and US remarks leaders are a "deception" to justify attacks. www.jpost.com/middle-east/...

Jeffries: We’ve seen no evidence to justify this type of offensive strike. There doesn’t seem to be a plan for how to avoid the kind of escalation that could drag America into another potentially disastrous Middle Eastern war—one that the overwhelming majority of the American people want no part of
