#BREAKING: #SCOTUS once again freezes the lower federal courts’ rulings in the Missouri redistricting case—and affirms that, as the Missouri Supreme Court held earlier this month, Missouri will use the 2022 map in the November elections. There were no public dissents.

This was the 28th time #SCOTUS has granted emergency relief to the Trump administration since 1/20/25. That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

In response to this story, a DHS spokesperson who looks like a literal child (and whose sole prior experience is working for Republicans) provided a deeply offensive and bigoted statement claiming that ICE was providing "the best healthcare that many aliens have received in their entire lives"
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Chandler Rebel said in a statement that detainees still have access to a wide range of medical services, including on-site care, emergency transportation, emergency room treatment, hospital admissions and off-site specialty care.
“Specialist appointments are not immediate and may take time to secure,” Rebel said, adding it is “not uncommon” for some specialty appointments to be booked weeks or months out and that the timing was not under ICE’s control.
“If specialty medical care is required and there is no access to that care, the facility will notify ICE and request a transfer of the alien to a facility that can provide access to that care,” Rebel said.  
“This is the best healthcare that many aliens have received in their entire lives,” he added.The DHS spokesperson, who graduated from college in 2022 and is now the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at DHS.The resume of the guy, showing how he graduated college in 2022 with a degree in journalism, worked on Herschel Walker's campaign that fall, then in 2023 joined Mike Collins' staff as a press assistant for a few months before being hired as deputy press secretary for Ron Johnson fora  year, then a communications advisor for Senator Mullin, then after Mullin joined DHS, became Principal Deputy Press Secretary at DHS in March and in August became Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.
They arrived in silence, under cover of darkness, heavily armed as they surrounded the town and moved through Kenscoff’s rugged terrain and towering forests in the mountains above the Haitian capital. Numbering around 150, the gunmen swept through several locations as they made their way toward the center of the town, opening fire on resident who tried to flee. At least 13 people were shot and killed as the gunmen ran through downtown, according to an account by the United Nations human rights office. As more than 50 others sought refuge in L’Arche de la Nouvelle Alliance, a Protestant church that had been sheltering people already displaced by the violence, the gunmen pursued them. When they arrive, they forced residents from the church and executed 22 of them in its courtyard. A dozen others were killed behind the sanctuary. The attackers didn’t just stop there. Before withdrawing from downtown, an area encompassing City Hall and a Haiti National Police substation, they abducted at least 52 people, including a mother and her five children, as well as another mother and her infant. Children and elderly who could not run were killed inside their homes. Others were burned alive after gunmen set at least a dozen houses on fire, witnesses told the National Human Rights Defense Network. The attackers also shot horses and other livestock inside the rural enclave.

ICE repeatedly claims 70% of people it arrests have a prior criminal record. This is false; it hasn't been true since May 2025. During the Minneapolis raids, that number fell to 53%. Now it's fallen below 50%. The MAJORITY of ICE arrests are now people with no criminal record.
The same chart as above, this time showing percentages. The previous peak in non-criminal arrests was last December to January, where 47% and 45% of all arrests were people with no criminal record. That's now surged higher, with 48% in June and 51% in July
