A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

In my mind the defining feature of Trump II is that is ✨actually✨ a kakistocracy. RFK Jr and Russ Vought have very little in common politically, but they do share one essential quality: they are absolutely the worst person alive for the jobs they have.
This is right. Trump II is the worst administration in our history because Trump has no ideology beyond "evil" and is too lazy to govern, so he hands his power to whoever wants it. Every flavor of evil shows up, and each one gets the job where it can do the most damage.

Sen. Jon Ossoff name-dropped Trump’s 35-year-old assistant during a scathing takedown of the president.

It's an odd thing to say of a politician, but Jeffries has no ambition. He's an NYC machine flunky who got tapped by Pelosi to lead the Dems because her no. 1 choice lost a primary. This is as good as it's gonna get for him. He has no vision for the party or America. He's just defending his turf.
The problem with Jeffries is that he has a combativeness toward DSA that stems from NYC political fights. He views them as a threat rather than as one pole in a big tent because he is constantly backing opposing candidates locally.

As the grandson of Kansas wheat farmers, let me offer my careful opinion -- this is not good.
The USDA is projecting the wheat harvest to be cut by almost half in the US. The state of Kansas is the largest producer of wheat and it is projected to harvest 44% less than from 2025. The American Farm Bureau sees a continued increase of Chapter 12 bankruptcies from 2025 as well.

I keep on noting that: (a) cutting both USAID and SNAP programs at the same time is not good for the farm economy in the United States; (b) blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a major choke point for fertilizer…also not good for the farm economy; and (c) major heat droughts in Europe. This is not good.

To me cutting USAID is like, you put a quarter into a slot every day to keep millions of people alive. You don’t have to do it but it causes you no hardship. Then one day the job falls to people who are overtly white supremacist and they decide to stop doing it. It is most obviously murder
