Hello. Welcome to another social media site run by another self serving asshole billionaire.
The @housedemocrats.bsky.social could bring a law force and lawyers with them and force their way into these centers if they had an ounce of courage.

They have the power to do many things but as usual, too fucking afraid.

Hence why the dems approval rating is as low as trumps-bc they do NADA
Members of Congress are being blocked from oversight.

At 26 Federal Plaza, ICE crammed migrants into holding rooms for days. Men sleeping on floors, wrapped in foil, slumped on benches, no toilet privacy.

Lawmakers want answers. Trump’s team is denying everything.

But the images don’t lie.

Oh this is….something. There is, apparently a message to be delivered.

Because in what other circumstance would the Deputy AG of the United States personally meet with a convicted & imprisoned sex trafficker.
BREAKING

Deputy AG Todd Blanche says the DOJ stands by the July 6 memo but that he anticipates meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell in the coming days.

Blanche says no administration has inquired about meeting her, presumably including the first Trump administration, during which Maxwell was charged.

Trump mafia Deputy AG plans to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell to see if she has additional information. Yeah right. They’re meeting to arrange perjured testimony in exchange for a pardon.

New, from me: until recently the big question was “what happens when Trump defies the courts?”
The answer, as it turns out, is that SCOTUS will support him.
The new question is what are the consequences for American democracy and governance?🧵

*The Trump administration has defied or frustrated the court in more than one third of the 165 cases where the courts have ruled against them.
*Since April, SCOTUS has granted relief to Trump in all 15 of the emergency applications, writing a decision to explain its reasoning only three times.

It is not just that SCOTUS is weakening Congress by giving its powers to Trump; it is also weakening other parts of the judiciary.
It is overturning decisions in a fashion it did not do under Biden (hat tip to @adambonica.bsky.social for the graph).

The bill before the Senate today will throw 12 million Americans off health insurance (CBO estimate).

Cutting taxes for the wealthiest leaves no money for that.

But apparently, there's money for this:

Musk has long dreamed about making an "everything app" and, through DOGE, gained access to data from seven government agencies, including the Treasury Dept. and SSA, that could benefit his companies.

DOGE has the keys to sensitive data that could help Elon Musk
In at least seven major departments or agencies, DOGE secured the power to view records that experts say could benefit Elon Musk’s businesses for years.

I want to be very clear about what’s happening: Senate Republicans know the parliamentarian will say they can’t use 312 to pretend tax cuts are free (because two have two Byrd rule problems).

So they are refusing to meet with her so they can pretend they never ignored her when they do it anyway.

👀 When even @politico.com can’t seem to spin for Trump about what looks like may be a failed - illegal - bombing run in Iran that may have cost us - taxpayers - billions of dollars.

Pete Hegseth just dodged several questions about whether Iran moved highly enriched uranium from the three nuclear facilities targeted by the U.S. before the strikes.

He chose to attack the reporter who questioned him instead. @nbcnews.com

He claims he was detained, strip-searched, and deported, with the meme being one of the images that triggered the incident.

We already knew that Emil Bove was unfit to serve as a federal judge.

Now we see additional confirmation of that fact.

How can we trust someone with such contempt of the law to be a fair arbiter of the law?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Wow. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie says today's top-secret Israel-Iran war briefing was not only canceled—but no new date was given.

If the Trump administration are truly proud of the Iran strikes, why are they hiding the details?

WATCH: Sen. Chris Murphy on the intel report showing the U.S. strikes on Iran nuclear program were not as effective as Trump claimed: "We were supposed to get a briefing today. It got canceled. I think it got canceled because they are trying to figure out how to lie their way out of this mess."
