On Russian state TV tonight what did the 2-hour 30 min ‘News of the Week’ programme say about Roman Starovoit: the transport minister sacked by Vladimir Putin on Monday & found dead with a gunshot wound to the head?

Nothing.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

A Reagan appointed federal judge has found Trump's NIH cuts on gender ideology and DEI are "illegal" and "void" and has ordered many grants restored.

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

None of the official ABC tweets or clips from the Trump interview tonight feature the most important clip of all: a demented Trump repeatedly and falsely claiming, and seeming bizarrely to believe, that Albrego Garcia literally had the letters and numbers MS13 on his knuckles.

“I could … but we have lawyers who don’t want to do that.”

This means nothing less than the Trump Administration is in open defiance of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Host: You could call and get Abrego Garcia back.

Trump: I could

Host: But the Supreme Court has ordered you to facilitate his release.

Trump: I'm not the one making this decision

Host: You're the president!

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is a little-known police and investigative force for the mail agency.

It has now joined the Department of Homeland Security task force.

Instead of ensuring security for the mail it will be helping Trump find people to deport.

It is full on dictatorship.

We have not even begun to find a way to politicize the gross corruption of the Trump Administration. Just the outright firesale of impunity for people who pay him for it.
Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.

Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.

See how this works?

The White House shut down plans to return wrongfully deported Maryland dad Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S. from an infamous El Salvador mega-prison.

Federal attorneys “began discussing how to undo the mistake” and return Garcia almost immediately after his deportation, but Trump shut that down.

This also raises Tenth Amendment concerns. Of course federal law applies to state officials, but can they be compelled (commandeered) to go above and beyond and “facilitate” (😏) a federal arrest? Case law says no as applied to state law enforcement in other contexts 4/
