Just listened to @zachlowenba.bsky.social interview Tyrese Haliburton and let me just say he will one day make a great head coach.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.
BREAKING WaPo: Trump officials scrutinized Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2019. They didn't find citizenship issues. The earlier review of Omar's immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now.

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

read that sentence. it is a description of political persecution. anyone giving this the time of day as a serious legal case is a fool.
The federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar aims to build a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the probe on.wsj.com/4zBOcZ9

Good morning. Federal prosecutors in Chicago filed partially redacted documents overnight in the "Broadview Six" case. The redactions appear to include the signature block (including the name) of one of the attorneys representing the United States government:
When federal prosecutors assured Judge April Perry last spring they'd had no contact with top DOJ brass while pursuing the "Broadview Six," she took them at their word. Those days are over. From me and @sophiesherry.bsky.social on Perry's fact-finding effort: chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/1...

You know what I don't see on the agent who shot a dad with a military assault rifle? THE BODY-CAM THAT THE TRUMP ADMIN HAS PROMISED TO PUT ON ALL ICE AGENTS.
See this ICE agent? He’s a holding a *military assault rifle.* And according to a witness, that‘s the agent who shot a man **while the man was in his car with his 5-year-old kid.** Also, I’m no expert, but i’m pretty sure it’s bananas to hold your phone in one hand & your ASSAULT RIFLE in another

as longtime readers know i am a longtime hegseth hater, but i think bouie is right here to note that hegseth's remark that "trannies" are out of the military is, by itself, an impeachable offense obviously much else besides, but i want to dwell on this

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.
A Michigan nurse is accused of helping an injured immigration detainee escape from a hospital while in federal custody.

A pocket rescission is an illegal line item veto. It is the president saying that he and he alone will convert a bipartisan spending bill (that has been signed into law) into a partisan spending bill. He is canceling the lines of spending he doesn't like.

There's one guy in this video who facilitated monthly $15 million payments to Hamas in explicit, on tape, hopes of building Gaza into a jihadist rival of the Palestinian Authority and his name rhymes with Denjamin Petanyahu.
Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.
Danny Cooper reposted
should be day 2 stories if Maine/national media pick up on fact Collins' lobbyist husband, Tom Daffron, worked closely - for years - with Scott Reed, a key player in the corruption scandal @andrewperez.bsky.social & @martinpengelly.bsky.social wrote about that in June zeteo.com/p/susan-coll...
Rough day for Susan Collins in the local Maine press, where ProPublica's bombshell story is the lead story.

"He said the individual refused to provide identification, was detained for fingerprinting, and resisted detention. Agents later determined he was not the person they were seeking and learned that he was a U.S. citizen. He was released."

Article is useful in that it shows that a) Trump is directly involved in these decisions, b) sees them in purely personalist terms - he wants to politicize research grants so he can destroy Harvard for daring to defy him
Trump asked budget chief to draft order bringing health research funding under his control

Very telling that a year into the maritime murders, the Trump admin has not: --released the OLC permission slip for the killing spree --allowed Hill staff counsel (as opposed to members) to see the memo --defended strikes in court (admin handed off survivors rather than detain or prosecute them)
