“In 2012, in Arizona v United States, the highest court in the land ruled that “as a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States”.
Got that? Not. A. Crime.”
From my new Guardian op-ed:
This is an absolute travesty, Russ Vought today vacated the case against (and *returned money to*) Townstone Financial, which ran an openly racist radio program to get leads for its mortgage business. Vought calls it DEI-based persecution.

Andrew Cuomo gave nursing home CEOs legal immunity from lawsuits amid the COVID massacre, as he raked in cash from health care industry donors.
Now that thousands of New York City residents are dead, he’s asking voters to reward him with the mayoralty. www.levernews.com/investigatio...
CNN just featured GOP Rep. Malliotakis calmly saying that Zelensky refused to make the deal (a lie!) and that onlyTrump wants peace so when Zel wasn't appreciative enough he had to kick him out of the White House. But she really hopes that a deal can be made.
Total 100% bullshit. Unbelievable.
Republicans have constituents screaming at them about Elon deleting their jobs, but that has to come second to the whims of the world's richest man, who will dump money in their opponents' laps if they stray.
Musk's GOP takeover is the culmination of a post-Citizens United USA.
BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.
NEW from @dropsitenews.com: How a Well-Connected Israeli Legal Expert Influenced the UN Investigation Into Sexual Violence on October 7
@ryangrim.bsky.social reports Ruth Halperin-Kaddari leveraged her friendship with UN’s Patten to produce a report in Israel's interests.
VARNEY: The administration said the worst of the worst would be held in Gitmo. But there's an article in the Post saying the families members of those detained say they're being falsely branded as members of Tren de Aragua.
HOMAN: That's the Washington Post ... no one is off the table
Administration officials just filed a rule to remove enforcement of the National Environmental Policy Act, the country’s preeminent environmental law.
Watch Trump a few months ago adamantly disavow Project 2025.
Now see how most of Trump’s first-day executive orders were torn from the pages of Project 2025: levernews.com/trumps-first...
Pass it on.
Kristi Noem says Homeland Security needs to work more closely with the CIA to identify how U.S. citizens are becoming radicalized
If you took the most vulgar, simplistic analysis from the very beginning — that Netanyahu was intent on genocide and would pursue it until he was forced to stop by the U.S. — you’d have been precisely correct.
“Zuckerberg is now openly engaging with dishonest MAGA personality Benny Johnson on Instagram. Their blossoming relationship comes as extremist Charlie Kirk boasts that he recently met with Zuckerberg and looks forward to developing the relationship.” - from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social
Can someone explain why Medicare Advantage isn't just a scam?
The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."
Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
So far, the Tech Right is winning the GOP factional fight over immigration policy, securing a policy of wage suppression through use of contingent foreign workers. It's a testament to our new future of unelected oligarchs, writes @ryanlcooper.com:

State Department says the Doctors Without Borders claim that Israel has engaged in “ethnic cleansing” acknowledges that MSF said “intentionality” was beyond the scope of its assessment.
So perhaps Israel accidentally engaged in ethnic cleansing
I've just been informed that the New York Times has privately confirmed the authenticity of the Luigi Mangione manifesto I published, per internal company chat leaked to me. They just refuse to say so publicly.
Following a new Human Rights Watch investigation today, which finds that Israel is ‘exterminating Palestinians’ and ‘committing acts of genocide’ by deliberately depriving them of water, Israeli forces targeted and killed Palestinians collecting water in Gaza City:
Video below
Withholding Luigi's manifesto on grounds that it might inspire copycats was always disingenuous because prosecutors are going to introduce it as evidence anyway. The truth is media didn't want to anger their law enforcement sources
Just so we’re clear what just happened:
Republicans tore apart their funding agreement with Democrats after Elon Musk told them to.
They created a new bill that defunded child cancer research.
And then they failed to pass that bill too.
