We are waiting for Texas to file its response today explaining the discrepancy between what it told the court and what Gov. Abbott said publicly in justifying a special session about the use of race to draw the state's congressional map.
Once it is filed, Democracy Docket will it post here.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

The 14th Amendment was ratified today in 1868—guaranteeing equal protection under the law.
157 years later, Trump’s trying to erase it like it was a typo.
No birthright citizenship. No due process. Just Trump doing what he does best—breaking the law.

UPDATE: This just got worse. Donald Trump apparently cut a secret side deal for MILLIONS in pro-Trump ads.
That would mean Paramount and its soon-to-be owner are shelling out $30 MILLION+ to support Trump—all while trying to get his approval on their merger.
Is this bribery?

A truly chilling report. The Israeli Defence Minister has is asking the IDF to draw up plans to force 600,000 Palestinians in Gaza into a camp on the ruins of Rafah- something he’s calling a “humanitarian city.” Once in they wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park.
It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone.
Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.

Today, a DOJ lawyer confirmed that the U.S. plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia if he’s released from pre-trial criminal detention.
The lawyer said the government won’t wait until Abrego faces trial.
Less than two weeks ago, a White House deputy press secretary decried that as “fake news.”
