As US bombs Iran, a judge rules on the battle for hearts and minds. A federal court says Kari Lake didnโ€™t have legal standing to gut federally funded broadcasters such as Voice of America and Radio Free Europe.

Oops!
Remember the mass firings at Voice of America? They were ordered by a Trump loyalist who was never properly appointed.

โ€œTactical absurdity:โ€ The costumed activists showing up to protest Trump and ICE say thereโ€™s a method to their madness.

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.

I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.

Bye, Girl I am neither Andy Borowitz nor The Onion.

The Coast Guardโ€™s new facility is in Birmingham, Alabama, which isnโ€™t on the water. A parting gift from outgoing DHS Secy Kristi Noem:

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but Iโ€™m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Zero in on Stephen Miller as a supervillain Democrats should make Trumpโ€™s unlikable adviser the face of the GOP

"Will Democrats make the obnoxious and unlikable Stephen Miller a key target in their midterms messaging? Will they run against Millerโ€™s extremism and in solidarity with the vital contributions of immigrants?"

Strongly agree with @markjacob.bsky.social here:

You MUST listen to this episode of "This American Life." It takes listeners deep inside the way ICE and their enablers at DOJ actually do their work.
(And a salute to those federal judges who are trying to uphold the rule of law!)

Trump administration asks court to restore punishments for law firms The Justice Department told a federal appeals court that judges who blocked executive orders sanctioning several law firms had infringed on the presidentโ€™s authority.

Yes, those federal judges did indeed infringe on his power -- as well they should have!

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesโ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate โ€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

After Hegseth Cut Ties, Harvard Offers Workarounds for Troops

Worth noting:
Hegseth is himself a Harvard grad, holding a degree from the Harvard's Kennedy School. Fucking ingrate.
Does he really believe it ruined him and made him unpatriotic?

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itโ€™s good sheโ€™s gone.

But this doesnโ€™t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
