Trump wants BILLIONS more for his war. Another $11 BILLION socialist handout for the farmers he said he saved. $500 Million for his Republican 250 celebration. And a Billion to put his name on Penn Station.

Jackson's framing in the dissent is the one worth holding. Green card holders are, by law, "as close to citizenship as one can get absent naturalization." They have gone through the process, paid the fees, established the ties, built the lives. The Immigration and Nationality Act was written with specific narrow exceptions for when that status could be revoked at the border. The 6-3 majority has now expanded those exceptions to include unproven allegations. You do not need a conviction. You need an indictment and a return flight. DHS can reclassify your status at the border, move you into removal proceedings, and let the conviction come later. Jackson called it a "massive blank check." The sequencing she describes - reclassify first, convict second - is not a procedural technicality. It is the architecture of a system in which legal status is only as secure as the government's current political interest in honoring it.

Justice Jackson flamed her conservative colleagues’ “misguided” decision to make it easier for border agents to detain green card holders returning to the country. thedailybeast.com/justice-ketanj…

Pete Hegseth claims promotions should be based on merit. Great. Then he shouldn't object to explaining why qualified women and people of color are being passed over for promotion. I spoke in support of @RepLoisFrankel's amendment requiring Hegseth to justify these decisions. Transparency is the bare minimum when careers and military readiness are on the line.

Hunter Biden's art exhibit got more attention. Corruption in plain sight but Trump has so numbed the press and public to it, no one cares. It's really maddening.

Trump's son-in-law, Michael Boulos, sits next to Rubio in this meeting in UAE with Sheikh MBZ, the country's leader. Boulos is a businessman who has no official post (his father has one). He visited UAE in May 2025 with Trump for a business event.

More than 100 former federal and state judges are demanding an ethics investigation into Todd Blanche for allegedly abusing his Justice Department authority for political retaliation. They say his actions violated his oath of office and undermined the integrity of federal prosecutions. The complaint argues that Blanche’s conduct represents a serious threat to the rule of law and requires formal disciplinary review. If the New York Bar finds the allegations valid, Todd Blanche could face anything from formal sanctions to a full suspension of his law license, and in the most serious scenario he could be disbarred entirely. It wouldn’t mean jail time, but it would be a career‑ending outcome for a lawyer. Sources: MSNBC, Law & Crime.

The Supreme Court doesn't think Rastafarians enjoy the same religious protection for their hair as other Christians enjoy for their bigotry. To get there, The Court launched a frontal attack on the foundation of civil rights laws. In @thenation thenation.com/article/societ…

The Trump administration will no longer provide public notice or consider public feedback when planning drilling and logging projects in federal forests.

Ossoff: I think the Trump show has jumped the shark. I don’t think many people are tuning in because he’s lost it. But more importantly, what we’re seeing is how destabilized he is by his global humiliation in the Middle East, which he cannot deny or lie away. His approval rating sits at 34%, while Americans pay more than ever for groceries and health care and rent. And he’s out here building a monument to himself and adorning his office in gold trim, while, because of his actions, cancer patients face a loss of their health insurance. He has cemented his place in history in disgrace.

Jeff Bridges: It’s really not about what political party you belong to. I think we can all agree that our kids, in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, shouldn’t be struggling with hunger this way, and that parents shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent and putting groceries in the refrigerator.

Sen. @PattyMurray shades GOP Sen. Susan Collins: Every single Republican in the Senate helped enable this horrifying reality. You don't get to act surprised the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade when you voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. You are going to own the suffering and pain you've inflicted on the women in this country.

"Things have gotten so bad that Republicans won't win an election ever again if we can't figure out how to stop millions and millions of Americans from voting" is quite the declaration of confidence in Trump/GOP leadership!

Tuberville: "If we don't do something with the filibuster and we don't get things passed, it'll be the last time we'll have a Republican president, a Republican Senate or a House. That's how fast this country is going down to communism."

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “In between Trump’s agents killing Renee Good and then killing Alex Pretti in the streets of Minneapolis…Trump’s DOJ got subpoenas to basically raid the offices of most of the major Democratic officials in the state of Minnesota and in the Twin Cities. Well today, a Republican appointed federal judge shot those down, saying in his ruling that there was ‘no doubt’ those subpoenas were issued ‘to harass’ Trump’s political opponents. The ruling said: ‘On the one hand the evidence that the challenged subpoenas were issued for unlawful reasons is overwhelming. On the other hand..DOJ has struggled without success to identify a single plausible investigatory justification for the subpoenas.’ And so those Trump administration DOJ subpoenas were thrown out.”😳

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $30 for the book containing it.

Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.

1/How Did the FBI Allow the Greatest Intelligence Failure in American History to Take Place? I investigated Trump's ties to Russia as a reporter, while John Buma worked similar turf for the FBI. Here, in my latest column, he explains, how he came to some of the same conclusions I did, but got shut down.

Imagine taking a few Bible verses on human sexuality as literal divine commands from God for all society, but minimizing 2,000+ verses calling for the care of immigrants, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor to be a personal choice.

THE HANDLER Jeffrey Epstein was running operational security for Steve Bannon's Middle East meetings. This was November 16 2018. Bannon was travelling to Abu Dhabi for a meeting Epstein had arranged and described as very important. Epstein had already booked the flights, coordinated the contacts, and arranged accommodation. Then he sent this. "Tomorrow meeting powerful. Reminder. Phones not secure AT ALL. Wait until you return for downloads" Epstein was not just arranging access. He was managing information security. He knew the phones were compromised. He knew the meeting was sensitive enough that nothing discussed should be transmitted electronically. He told Bannon to debrief in person only after returning. This is the operational language of an intelligence handler. Not a social acquaintance. Not a financial advisor. A handler. Bannon was meeting unnamed Middle Eastern figures in Abu Dhabi. Epstein had arranged the meeting. Epstein controlled the debrief. And Epstein knew enough about the security environment to warn Bannon that his phone was being monitored. A convicted sex offender. Running counter surveillance protocols for a former White House Chief Strategist. In the Middle East. November 2018. This is message 1395 of 3,356 in the Bannon thread alone. We have read 1,500. Source: DOJ Epstein Files Transparency Act release. Jmail iMessage Archive. steve-bannon thread. Message 1395. November 16 2018.
