ICE surround judge's car threatening to smash windows—then arrest his high school intern.
Agents handcuff teenager to detain him—until judge loudly demands they check ID to confirm they had wrong person.
Court security noticed masked men sneaking pictures of the boy —so the judge tried to help.

Trump calls Governor Tim Walz “retarded.” How do MAGA parents justify the use of this word? How does Sen. Eric Schmitt, who has an autistic son, justify it?

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Renewed Republican vows to “fix” the Affordable Care Act don’t even rise to the level of bad jokes.

Look, I know some of you said you'd feel safer if *I* were the Secretary of Defense, and I told you all that I'm just not qualified.
But I've thought it over, and while I was down in DC, I made some calls.
I accepted the offer.

This is a *great* piece, which I have been touting for weeks, by wonderful (lawyer/writer) Lincoln Caplan, on why John Roberts deserves at least as much focus as Trump himself (or Alito, Thomas, Miller, JDV, etc) for war on US institutions.
He has replaced Roger Taney in Scotus Hall of Shame.
