NEW: ICE’s policy of mass detaining immigrants w pending deportation proceedings has led to an avalanche of rejections in court.

More than 220 judges — including 23 Trump appointees — have called it an illegal distortion of long-settled law. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

NEW: In 2010, Citizens United opened the floodgates to political spending. Next year, a popular Montana ballot measure could render that ruling null in the state.

Yes, we can get money out of politics. @ruwithsonali.bsky.social in @truthout.org:
Montana Has an Ambitious Plan to End Dark Money in Elections
Polls suggest 74 percent of voters in the state will back a ballot initiative to counter the effects of Citizens United.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

First they cancelled the jobs report and gave us a DoorDash economic summary instead.

Now the third quarter GDP report is cancelled.

But the economy is great right? Nothing to see here!

To paraphrase what an ICE field director said at a Texas hiring event earlier this year: what makes ICE different from other law enforcement officers is that we catch criminals "before" a crime is committed.
NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

In other news, I recommend today's Daily Podcast, about the parents of a trans girl who just had to flee Tennessee for Connecticut in order to protect her. The parents are both Southerners and ministers, and had idea what "trans" was until they had to learn.
