US Court orders immigrants not be deported to their home countries because they would be at risk of death. US instead sends them to Cameroon where they are held in custody until they agree to return to their home countries.

So Don Winslow, crime writer. I like a good page turner. What's the best place to start? I know there's a movie coming out about a novella in the Broken collection, but is that his best? What else do y'all like?

Any readers out there?

My "favorite" of the racist reactions: "I could barely get through half of the second song. It sounded like booga booga music. It was like a current version of a Spanish KC and the Sunshine Band. I agree, he has no talent."

Now seeking a current Spanish version of KC and the Sunshine Band. Hmu.

NYT gets a lot of legit criticism but this piece by the editorial board called "The Trump Administration Is Lying to Our Faces. Congress Must Act" gets it right.

I'm not a Newsom fan and his chummy agreement with guys like Shapiro and Kirk is just gross. That said, I know he'd have zero hesitation about exploiting the "unitary executive" that the GOP created and their "we didn't mean like that" could be a lot of fun.

A nice accounting by NYT of Trump's presidential enrichment schemes. The lessons about how even the appearance of public officials enriching themselves is bad for democracy also apply to Congress trading stocks.

The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

How many people have to say it? ICE is out of control, and racist as f*ck.

This is ICE culture

“They opened the door and asked if I was afraid yet? I said, ‘Absolutely NOT.’ Then they said it, ‘Well, you’re white and it wouldn’t be any fun and told me to get out of the car.’” - Rev Callaghan

“I would not knowingly extend communion to an illegal immigrant who is visiting our church,” he said. “That person would be in sin by being in this country illegally....”

The main way he would minister to them would be “to help them submit themselves to the authorities”

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Lost in the discussion of how Charlie Kirk "did politics the right way" are the lives of the two victims assassinated at Florida State University by a member of Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA, in April 2025.
Weird how when a Trump supporter, white supremacist, and reportedly, a former member of Turning Point USA shot up Florida State University (FSU) several months ago and killed two people - there wasn't the same national conversation about "political violence." www.mediaite.com/news/mass-sh...
