Judge Orders Release of Mother and 5 Children Held in ICE Jail for Nearly a Year The El Gamal family, including two 5-year-old children, reportedly faced severe medical neglect in the Dilley facility.

A lawyer for the El Gamal family, that has spent close to a year at an immigration detention center in Texas, demanded the family’s release after a federal magistrate judge found that “requiring them to endure further detention… risks compounding the constitutional violation.”

Southern Poverty Law Center says it is under Justice Department investigation The nonprofit on Tuesday said it is “the latest organization targeted by this administration.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for its tracking of hate groups, said that the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into the nonprofit regarding their use of informants.

They laughed at us because Americans were stupid enough to "vote" him back into office. Now they look at us with disgust and distrust.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

For someone who said…

“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?”

Why is he still talking about the 2020 election?!

Asking for a friend

Daily Reminder: Release th Epstein Files👇🏻

Nor does he care. The Constitution seems to be largely irrelevant with a demented, stupid, criminal President and a complicit Congress and Supreme Court.

The Constitution says the President negotiates treaties, but they don't take effect until Congress ratifies them. In other words, Congress gives a treaty the force of law. Once done, the President is bound by it. He does not have the authority to violate it.
Trump does not understand this.

So let me get this fucking straight…
MAGA wants Trump reading the Bible in the Oval Office and the Ten Commandments in public schools, but the Pope should stay out of politics? Be fucking serious

Incidentally, It is impossible to test a nuclear weapon in secret. A nuclear explosion creates seismic waves that leave a distinctive signature on seismographs around the world.

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

The Washington Nationals lost 11 games in a row during the 2025 season, the first year of tRUmp return to the White House.

It's kind of hard to lose 11 games in a row in baseball but he pulled it off.

Now do the Yankees.

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Emails show Amazon colluding with other firms to raise prices, California authorities allege The previously redacted messages were unveiled as part of an antitrust battle with California attorney general Rob Bonta

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

Did American voters really think it was cute to vote for someone whose thing is to call people names? It’s something we’re taught at an early age not to do.
Minor in the scheme of things, but such a telling characteristic.

Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end Trump's elfish toady is quickly losing control of the House.

New in PN: Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end

"Johnson has such a small majority he can’t afford to alienate anybody, & he has nonetheless managed to alienate everybody. The coming months will be brutal for him & are likely to end w/his speakership destroyed in a humiliating, titanic blue wave"

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.

Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.

Glad someone besides me is finally saying this! We need a complete rewrite of our constitution to put some enforcement teeth into it, so that our rights are unassailable, not subject to the whims of a lawless Administration, cowardly, boot-licking congress, or corrupt, enabling SCOTUS.

We already have all the laws to enforce those rights in the US. They either aren't being used, or eroded so they can't be used (Citizen's United, anyone?)
