Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Today I completed the course of treatment for my HPV-16 Associated Squamous Cell Carcinoma. 7 weeks, 35 sessions of IMRT, and 4 sessions of cisplatin at the start with a swap to 3 sessions of carboplatin + to finish. Now, I begin the recovery journey with a PET CT later on in the summer.

I’m losing my mind here. USTR made a list of “Unfair trade practices” they’re retaliating against, complaint number 5 is that the EU cares too much about stopping illegal deforestation, complaint number 7 is that the South Americans are doing too much illegal deforestation

Democrats have flipped a state Senate seat in Pennsylvania, in a red district Trump won by 15 points in 2024. This is the second red seat they have flipped in 2025. Going to have a post out on this tomorrow morning. 2026 so far looking similar to 2018. gelliottmorris.substack.com/subscribe/

Leaked audio of JD Vance in a jealous rant… Let’s just say JD Vance is no fan of Elon Musk and thinks he makes him look bad. But the truth is—Trump and Vance don’t need Elon to make them look bad.

Millions cancelling their trips and businesses in the United States due to Trump’s illegal ICE ethnic cleansing operations. The damages created by Trump will exceed in the trillions of dollars. #3E #EndImpunity

@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.gov

In America, EVERYONE has a RIGHT to due process - regardless of immigration status. It’s fundamental to our Constitution. Deporting hundreds of people in secret by invoking a wartime proclamation is a blatant abuse of power by President Trump.

wapo.stWhite House official says 137 immigrants deported under Alien Enemies ActTrump officials said the deportations don’t violate a judge’s order barring use of the Alien Enemies Act for removals — but also questioned the order’s validity.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

When you read these stories, always remember Elon Musk called his own immigration status a "gray area" when he came to the U.S. as a student. Musk dropped out of school and started doing things his student visa didn't permit.
