Trump claims the SCOTUS ruling paves way for -- ending birthright citizenship -- ending sanctuary city funding -- suspending refugee resettlement -- "freezing unnecessary funding" -- no tax dollars for transgender surgeries

Trump says he will hit Canada with more punitive tariffs "within the next seven day period."

Many American Christians say they’re persecuted for their faith. Now they support deporting Iranian Christians fleeing real persecution for their faith. Persecuted Christians want to deport persecuted Christians. So… maybe it’s not about faith.

Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.

A familiar face is returning to the federal government just a couple of days after he was reportedly resigning from his post.

Trump: That’s the way I have ruled

The extraordinary moment at the NATO press conference when Trump admits he gave a foreign enemy (Iran) permission to attack a US military base. “They said is one o’clock ok? I said it’s fine.” He even says soldiers were still on site. I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but that’s treason, right?

Trump: "People from mental institutions and insane asylums. You know what that is? Insane asylum, that's a mental institution on steroids. During the campaign I'd talk about the late great Hannibal Lecter."

The DOJ says definitively: Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be taken into ICE Custody for deportation proceedings as soon as he's out of federal custody

🚨🚨 US TRADE DEFICIT SURGES The Commerce Department's Census Bureau on Thursday reported that the international trade in goods increased by about 11 percent in May as exports decreased while imports remained relatively unchanged — a sign that Trump's tariff strategy has been a colossal failure.

Is this a bit?

Trump deports man with one lung, no criminal record to CECOT in possible 'death sentence' Wladimir Vera Villamizar is among the more than 200 Venezuelans sent to El Salvador’s CECOT by the Trump admin. Just weeks before his deportation, his entire right lung was removed. David Noriega reports.

Somewhat confident that the only reason we’re even hearing about this is that it was a Canadian. Does anyone know an accurate, current, resource on how many people have died in ice custody?

Fourth (and *last*) ruling from #SCOTUS today is in Riley v. Bondi. For a messy, fractured 5-4 majority (with Justice Gorsuch joining the three Democratic appointees in dissent) narrows judicial review in a small category of complicated immigration appeals: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

First (but *not* last) #SCOTUS ruling today is in Hewitt. For what is basically a 5-4 majority (with some fracturing), Justice Jackson (joined by the Chief Justice and the three Democratic appointees) largely sides with federal criminal defendants in a complex sentencing dispute:

Third (but *not* last) #SCOTUS ruling is in Gutierrez. For what is effectively a 6-3 majority (with Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch in dissent), Justice Sotomayor holds that a Texas death-row inmate *does* have standing to bring a due process challenge to Texas's post-conviction DNA testing procedures:

This is not a budget bill, it is a debt and deportation bill—and one built on the fascist foundation laid by the Heritage Foundation’s now-notorious Project 2025. https://trib.al/JsSFj9V

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Extremists Links: The escalating incidents of political violence and the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories.

Hey hey RFK! How many kids did you kill today?

Feckless Republicans supporting Convicted Felon Donald Trump‘s Big Bullshit Bill have no shame. Members of American Disabled for Attendant Programs (ADAPT) being zip-tied and arrested for peacefully protesting Medicaid cuts.

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” no paywall for this harrowing breakdown of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers that WIRED obtained. experts believe the true number of medical emergencies is far higher.

I know laws are meaningless now, but still WTAF?

Well that’s horrifying…
