No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

They fired people of color claiming they were DEI hires. What exactly is this? She is certainly not in the job based on merit.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

“The finding, contained in a March memo that was described to The Washington Post, said Secretary of State Marco Rubio did not have sufficient grounds for revoking Ozturk’s visa under an authority empowering the top U.S. diplomat to safeguard the foreign policy interests of the United States.”
Days before ICE detained Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk, the State Dept. determined that the Trump administration had not produced evidence showing she engaged in antisemitic activities or made public statements supporting a terrorist organization. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
No evidence linking Tufts student to antisemitism or terrorism, State Dept. office found
An internal memo, prepared before Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE, raises doubts about the Trump administration’s claims that she supports Hamas.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?
Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion
Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion
Now he’s down to $150 billion
And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion
So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services
This clown will cut $58 billion
Maybe

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.

This is how they start disappearing American citizens they dislike.
The administration says that criminal immigrants can be deported to a foreign forced labor prison without a hearing that could determine if the person is actually a criminal or actually an immigrant and that if it makes a mistake it can’t be rectified because the person is now outside their control.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

Forget that the deportation was illegal, or that habeas corpus rights were ignored.
The U.S. government asserting it can't get the dude back from our new best buds in El Salvador is some ultra weak shit.

Many at USIP have told me from the start that the reason the Trump administration has gone after them so aggressively is because of their really beautiful building.

Schimel has to know that Musk making this election about himself hurts Schimel. But clearly Schimel also knows he can't say "no" to Musk. Which is another reason it's so critical that Schimel lose to Crawford. We can't have Justices who can't say no to Musk.
