I mean, the ridiculous bit is how often Stephen Miller and MAGA folks focused on getting universal injunctions against Biden. So I'm assuming this is going to be another one of these "well it only applies during GOP presidency" type SCOTUS rulings.

Screw them!

lol shit is getting weird

FBI has never covered its faces. DEA has never covered its faces, even though its officers have been targeted for assassination by the cartels.

Vladimir Putin speaking after seizing Crimea in 2014: “I want you to hear me, my dear friends. Do not believe those who want you to fear Russia, shouting that other regions will follow the Crimea. We do not want to divide Ukraine; we do not need that.”

“ICE” bounty hunters made this possible. By making it easy to cosplay as federal agents: masked faces, no visible ID, no official vehicles, and gear that any yahoo can buy on Amazon. They look like criminals! 🚨 Man arrested who pretended to be an ICE agent while committing a robbery in Houston.

Learning facts is often helpful.

"Answer the question, Mr. Vought ... I don't want to hear about the Biden administration. You're here on behalf of the Trump administration" -- Jon Ossoff *was not* putting up with Russ Vought's bullshit

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

Phang: Did it ever occur to the Trump administration that the reason more nationwide injunctions have been entered during President Trump’s term is because the shit he’s doing is illegal and unconstitutional?

"While some centrists may be a bit frightened by it all, Cuomo’s campaign—or, at least, part of it—was impressed." And they can all certainly learn something from Mamdani's successful primary campaign. New from @lauren-egan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-zohra...

Why are federal agents wearing masks? It undermines trust and poses a threat to American democracy.

“The sector of Israeli society that did the most to win the war against Iran ‘was precisely the same sector that for eight months went out to the streets every Saturday night to prevent Netanyahu’s extreme-right government from destroying Israel’s liberal democracy.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/o...

Trump's bombing campaign in Iran did not destroy the Fordo nuclear facility, but it did bury two of its entrances in rubble. If that's not enough for him to unanimously win the Nobel Peace Prize, I don't know what is. by Hugh Hewitt

The recent immigration-related arrest shows that ICE is more concerned with targeting all immigrants than with ensuring public safety.

I imagine Gen. Dan Caine was asked to back up Trump’s claim that “we destroyed the nuclear.” But as I explain below, that’s not what the initial intel shows. So instead Caine deftly filibustered about how great US personnel and weapons are. “We don’t do BDA,” he said. wapo.st/44ymb7R

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Well, Steve Witkoff is a well-known expert in battle damage assessment, so I guess it's case closed.

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...

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.
