NEW: Counsel for the migrant children say that, as they understand it, all putative class members have now “been deplaned and returned to ORR custody.” As for the delay, they add that they inadvertently overlooked the part of the court’s order requiring them to file a report.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
This is, I swear to Christ, the lead story at the Atlantic Monthly right now

Your red line should be “not doing stupid shut yo help Trumpism win again.” But it’s not.
You know all those slasher-horror movies where they go in the haunted house or down the basement? And you scream, "OMG, how TF could they be so dumb!?" Yeah, well – that's America right now, with RFK jr as the head of HHS, including the CDC, NIH, etc. No good endings. Insane AF.
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
Deleted this post because some people misread it. We’re awaiting a status report *from the attorneys for the children*—not DOJ. The plaintiffs were also supposed to file a report last night but haven’t yet. Judge Sooknanan wants them to explain the reason for the holdup.

I just saw an article that said a CEO that stole a hat from a kid at a tennis event was the most hated man in America. I feel like that's forgeting someone.
I know people think I’m Stanning for Newsom. But this blatantly dishonest horseshit attack on the guy is why people don’t take leftists seriously. If Newsom is the nominee, not voting for him is a threat to all the vulnerable people these (almost entire white privileged) idiots supposedly care about
Trump thinks “de minimus” means “Huge.” At least that’s what Melania told him.
1/ The elimination of de minimis is emblematic of the worst kind of reactionary, knee-jerk policymaking that's sadly not confined to the US. For those who don't know: The US has largely eliminated a rule that let packages of lower value (<$800) to skip most customs formalities and tariff duties.
JUST IN: DOJ says all children on planes that were supposed to fly to Guatemala today have been unloaded and are being returned to custody of HHS's Office of Refugee Resettlement. Drew Ensign says missed deadline earlier was bc DOJ wasn't aware. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Jeanine Pirro and the Trump DOJ suffered MASSIVE embarrassment this past week as they keep failing to get federal grand juries to indict dissidents. Andy McCabe and I discuss on today's UnJustified. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...
Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
What do you think, folks?
It’d be a Pixar world of robots with clever Flintstonesque sight gags, but featuring robots & robotics. A story about a misfit robot (Tomthee Chalamet) who wants to be a fighter, and gets training (and life lessons) from a Miyagi robot (Benedict Wong) . Martin Cove voices the villain sensei robot.
Pixar makes the film. The Karate Kid, but with robots.
Passengers on Delta Flight 389 reached Shanghai after an unexpected stop in Los Angeles "due to a sick crew member," the airline said.

"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Assuming he's sick, l just pray he follows the medical advice of "one of the world's foremost voices, advocates and experts on public health," RFK Jr.
My main issue with the debate around ECHR is that no one advocating for it seems willing to accept that the past decade of politics has shown us that withdrawing from organisations/treaties/institutions always has more unintended consequences than intended, usually negative.
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
This looks like the beginning of a Pixar film.
Hey! Just icymi: FEMA is now evicting THOUSANDS of Hurricane Helene survivors Our government hates us. And millions voted for this degree of brutality and cruelty. Why?
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.

They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.

California stepping up.
MORE: Judge Sooknanan orders further status report from DOJ, setting 8:30 p.m. deadline to address whether all of the unaccompanied children have been returned to the custody of HHS's Office of Refugee Resettlement.
"Test positivity is as high as 17.9% in places like Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico," RFK Jr is confident that with a little effort 30% or higher is possible. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This is for all the teachers out there. This AM at the farmers market, a stranger recognized me from my online American Revolution lecture course. Apparently, the lectures got her thru an illness when she was stuck in bed. Teaching matters. In so many more ways than we know.
At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Congress doesn’t allow a President to fire the Fed Chairman unless there is “cause.”
A lot of people on the extremely online left right now seem to interpret "Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism" to mean "all antisemitism is actually fine if you just say it's anti-Zionism."
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
Well. We can give Donald Trump for bringing together old enemies, India and China. Nobel peace prize!
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Don’t act suspicious, don’t act suspicious….
There you go.
There is only one common denominator to all mass shootings that have taken place over the past decade.
Trump should deploy the National guard and troops to Florida. Rather than fighting actual crime, Governor DeSantis has no less than 5 Florida State police patrol vehicles staking out an intersection crosswalk to stop people from chalking a rainbow.
I think Rudy Giuliani and Mike Lindell are Trump’s “Pictures of Dorian Gray.” All the bad shit that should happen to him, happens to them instead.
Yeah. Like 9 months ago.
This is an unmitigated disaster for American security.
Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
Or that he’s not anti Zionist.
This can’t be real. It’s AI, right?
Residents are finding all sorts of ways to fight ICE: They're recording and reporting. They're wheatpasting and sharing know-your-rights materials. And they're stepping up to care for each other, from delivering groceries to walking kids to school. 51st.news/dc-residents...
“That’s a pretty sharp observation.”

Still thinking it's funny that the Chinese knock off of the Cybertruck is so much cooler than the Tesla version. Not my thing at all, but at least can see the appeal.
Very annoyed by this brainworm, heroin narrative that RFK is some kind of incompetent. He may very well be mentally ill, I'm not a doctor, but it's kind of beside the point. He's calculating; he has said he wanted to do all these things for years, and now he's doing them. 🤷🏻

The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
You keep making up arguments I’m not making to rebut. Go ahead and demand that the nominee represent you. But if it’s not the one you want, you still should vote for them because it is better than the alternative by leaps abd bounds.
I’m pretty sure the leftists will find something wrong with Governor Pritzker too. They have already gone after AOC and Bernie. So their posturing on Newsom (and Buttigieg before him) is just meaningless. They will reject every possible nominatable Democrat.
Guess what? Then the so called “base” can just nominate someone else then? Why make threats if you have the voting power?
Pritzker: "We want more help—civilian law enforcement help. We would like ATF agents to help us take more guns off the street. We would like FBI to coordinate with local law enforcement to help catch perpetrators. If they do that, we'd welcome it. That's not what they're doing."
Here’s a thought. Terrorizing millions of people with a threat to suicide bomb American Democracy if they dare to nominate Gavin Newsom isn’t a very persuasive strategy and might be turning people off or against you.
We’re seeing it in France already. The dipshit left is aligning with the fascist right to oppose budget cuts because France is going bankrupt. They’d rather the fascists take over than have to work 37 hours a week.
I don’t support Newsom. I’m supporting Pritzker. But I don’t want the dumbass left to carry out their threat to suicide bomb American democracy in the next few elections if they don’t get what they want.
Black voters wete not very happy with the leftist shitposting about Kamala.
And I think you’re misrepresenting who the Democratic base voters are. It’s not frou frou white college educated leftists. Black voters are very skeptical of this shit. For good reason. They hear crazy shit like Newsom is a Neo Nazi transphobe and roll their eyes.
You missed my point. Harris was bombarded with transphobia ads and didn’t respond fur fear of upsetting the very voters you say mattered more than the moderates. And, I might add, a lot of the Gaza protest voters (in MI) are conservative Muslims and Arabs who are very Travsphobic.
By all means, take to the streets and protest. It’s a better use of your time than bitching about liberals on Social media and threatening not to use your most powerful weapon, your vote, to remove fascism from power.
And now you’re upset that Newsom is punching back. You’d rather he did nothing, and didn’t raise his profile. It should be all hands on deck.
But that’s exactly what the “I will never vote for Newsom” (or Buttigieg, etc) people are doing. Throwing millions of people under the bus. If you want people to listen to you, stop terrorizing them with this threat to help Trumpism win again.
You go to war with the political party you have.
LOL, wut?
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Welp. Any respect I had for John Gruden is completely gone now.
I agree. That’s why I’m not going to respond to your nonsense any longer.
Luckily, Newsom a track record of signing a lot of pro trans legislation in California.

He literally was humoring Sean Ryan and said he had an “open mind.” Which is meaningless pandering.
You realize how fucking dumb you sound, right? Obama gets no credit for the ACA under your theory.
He’s not.
Yes. You are.
