crazy how this case and the prairieland 9 aren’t getting more attention. do people not realize what’s happening? the trump admin is rounding activists up for doing nothing except nonviolently opposing their fascism. if they can do it to these people they can do it to you too.
the minnesota 15, indicted by the federal government for their work against ICE, leave the federal courthouse in downtown minneapolis after their first appearances and are joined by supporters waiting outside
We must never forget this: for a political stunt, we sent INNOCENT people to be tortured in a foreign prison.
Marco met with Bukele in his palace to hatch the plan that led to sending innocent Venezuelan immigrants to a foreign gulag with no due process. Surprised this has not gotten more attention.
Trump wants to cut down Washington DC's oldest grove of cherry trees along the Mall and eliminate the public biking path and picnic areas so he can build a Trump golf course on public land, using public dollars, and taking spaces away from the public.
As President Trump toured the East Potomac Golf Links in D.C., he carried what appeared to be plans showing a far more extensive redevelopment of the course than officials have publicly disclosed, potentially transforming it into a championship venue. wapo.st/4varmox
Markwayne Mullin hires his friend from Oklahoma to head ICE even though he has zero executive experience and effectively no experience with immigration law beyond a state agreement to turn people over to ICE.
This is basically nonsense. Immigrants cannot simply "apply for permanent residence." That is not how anything works. You have to have either close family ties to U.S. citizens or other permanent residents or fall within a very narrow category of employment-based visas.
JUST IN: Haitians who have been in the U.S. for years under Temporary Protected Status can apply for permanent residence or for a temporary visa, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Sunday. newsmax.com/newsfront/mark…
Public corruption, utterly obscene, at a scale we’ve never seen. Why do they do it? Bcuz they don’t believe their supporters give a damn about it, and they know the Republican-led Congress won’t do a damn thing about it.

And to add to the injustice and absurdity, Trump is likely to pardon everyone involved, including himself. And we've barely even begun to talk about the national security implications of Trump's international graft.
Really helpless feeling about where we're at. There's a historic (by American standards) level of corruption and looting going on right now and the party that could stop it is fine with it. And since it is cult of personality his supporters cheer it! nytimes.com/2026/06/28/wor…
New research from @nytimes finds that the US government is actively doing "critical minerals" deals with FOURTEEN different companies that have financial ties to the Trump and/or Lutnick families - deals worth around $9 billion in all:
Insightful @michaelscherer story on how money meant for national parks around the country has been redirected to Trump's pet projects in DC. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
ICE is set to have 20,000 or more employees and a budget of over $20 billion a year, which is quite the step up for Mr. Schroyer, who has until now been a state trooper and never led a government agency, even at the municipal level.
NEW: Trump says he is nominating former Oklahoma state trooper Lance Schroyer to be ICE director Secretary Mullin has been pushing for him to lead the agency for some time, sources tell me + @JuliaEAinsley nbcnews.com/politics/trump…
I see this question all the time, so, again, the immigration system DOES NOT WORK THIS WAY. There is no way for deserving people without a green card to simply "apply for citizenship." I absolutely WISH the system worked the way @BirdieGentry1 and others seem to think it does.
@ReichlinMelnick If they wanted to stay why didn’t they apply for citizenship?
Alito (majority) finds Trump statements don't demonstrate racial animus, but can't bring himself to quote any of them Kagan (dissent) notes this, then supplies some quotes "It is hard to imagine the statements being made today of any White community," she observes
Respectfully, @shipwreckedcrew, you are WILDLY off base, and I say this as someone who submitted expert declarations in the Miot case, read every TPS grant and termination, and tracked Haitian migrants for years. Since I don't pay Elon for a checkmark, bear with me for a thread.
You are simply ignorant -- or, given that you are an immigration attorney, you are a liar. Haitians in the country legally are not covered by TPS -- they don't need to be -- so the ending of TPS does not affect them. TSP protects ONLY those illegally in the country because it
@JuddLegum This crash happened in my neighborhood & I was wondering how it was allowed … Tragic & preventable

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.

🚨 BREAKING: Close Trump advisors have been informing him the likeliest cause of any “rip” in the Reflecting Pool surface came from him insisting the full motorcade drive on the fresh surface to “inspect” it before it was refilled, which he immediately denies to blame liberals.
#BREAKING: Hayes: “Acting AG Todd Blanche told Congress not to worry about the $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists…The DOJ then told the court the same thing—don’t worry, it’s moot, it’s dropped, and then last week, the judge said okay, fine, put it in writing. She ordered Blanche and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and an associate AG to all sign ‘a declaration under the penalty of perjury, they will not take any action to create or operate the anti-weaponization fund and that the anti-weaponization fund will not proceed in any manner or under any name.’ Well, today was the deadline for that and guess what? They came back to the court and they said no, we’re NOT doing it. We’re NOT filing any declaration to officially kill the fund, which probably means the slush fund is NOT dead.”🙄🤦♀️
