Another ICE lie

Questionable? Outright wrong? Can’t you say they lied?

When an immigration agent shot a man in the leg last month in Minnesota, the Trump administration rushed to sell a version of events that demonized the wounded man. It was the latest instance of the U.S. government providing an account of a shooting that later proved questionable or outright wrong.

The Post has caved in to Trump on climate

The opinion section is mostly right-wing trash now.

Days after laying off many of the great climate change reporters I once worked with, the Washington Post published an editorial applauding Trump for ripping up the federal government’s authority to regulate climate pollution. Important column by @sammyroth.bsky.social

The Washington Post has laid off least 14 climate journalists, newsroom sources told @sammyroth.bsky.social, effectively decimating one of the most important reporting teams in American climate journalism.A sad, terrifying, enraging day for the planet.

Posts on how judges rule against Trump and the administration’s defiance

Judges are ruling against Trump’s illegal immigration policies. However, the administration is defying them with no consequences. We can’t count on the Trump court. They help Trump.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.www.reuters.com/legal/govern…

How ICE defies judges’ orders to release detainees, step by step

I can’t get over how increasingly desperate and worried district judges are — they are doing all the right things — and how they’re being betrayed by appellate judges and a Supreme Court, both too cowardly to stand behind their decisions.

Bad AP take on Trump’s disgraceful behavior concerning the meeting with governors

An annual meeting of the nation’s governors that has long served as a rare bipartisan gathering is unraveling after President Donald Trump excluded Democratic governors from White House events.

Unraveling? You need to assign responsibility for it. Trump killed it, it didn’t fall apart on its own.

Trump’s terrible election threats

I assume all of this is illegal but I also assume that won’t stop him from attempting to interfere in the election. He’ll send his goons to polling places.

Repeat after me:An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law.Also:Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections

The political science research on VID laws is clear1.) It doesn't stop fraud, because fraud is non-existent. 2.) It does decrease turnout by 1-2%, but not in a way that advantages Rs. 3.) Much of research on VID was done before Trump, who wins low propensity voters.

In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both. n.pr/46QDn9p

This is the key point – it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.

RFK Jr. can't change state vaccine regulations. But, he can dismantle the vaccine supply chain. FDA's failure to review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine demonstrates how HHS can weaponize the vaccine approval process to discourage the production of new, innovative, and potentially life-saving vaccines.

Examples of Trump cult antisemitism

I have no doubt that Trump, many of his officials and many of his followers are anti-semitic. MGA is full of bigots.

You can’t fight antisemitism while validating Holocaust deniers, gutting civil‑rights enforcement, and excusing open hatred inside your own movement. My new piece traces how the Trump administration is mainstreaming hate — not by accident, but by design.
