And for those who may have forgotten this image of US service members on their knees rolling the red carpet for Putin. Trump literally has our brave service members bending the knee to Putin and Xi. Grotesque.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

One day, “Trump” will be common shorthand for people who are so spectacularly bad as leaders that they are, at best, acting only in their own self-interest, and, at worst, actively trying to destroy what they lead. Like “Benedict Arnold” is shorthand for traitor. That will be the Trump legacy.

“That strength is diminished when members of our society — citizens and noncitizens alike — must self-censor and ‘behave’ or suffer the government’s retaliation.” www.fire.org/news/breakin...

In America, free speech doesn’t just belong to the people who say things the government agrees with,” said FIRE attorney Conor Fitzpatrick. “Today’s ruling proves that free speech isn’t a privilege, but the inalienable right of every man, woman, and child

Judge Noël Wise of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California wrote in her opinion that “in the United States, freedom of speech belongs to the people. It is not the government’s to take.”

“Foundational to America’s enduring democracy are our freedoms of speech and the press embodied in the First Amendment,” she wrote. “In the United States, free speech, including the freedom to criticize the government and its leaders, is not a sign of our democracy’s fragility. It is evidence of its strength. That strength is diminished when members of our society — citizens and noncitizens alike — must self-censor and ‘behave’ or suffer the government’s retaliation.”

Rubio and the Trump administration sought to use immigration law to target foreign university students and others for deportation based on protected speech like writing op-eds and attending protests. Their attack suppressed the speech of noncitizens, who worried that voicing the “wrong” opinion about America or Israel will result in deportation. Today’s decision means that the noncitizen writers and editors of Stanford Daily, and Jane Doe, may not have their visas revoked or be deported based on protected speech. And it is the first ruling in the country to squarely rule on the constitutionality of these statutes and thus will reverberate in similar proceedings around the country, including those of Mahmoud Khalil and Moshen Mahdawi.

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

“You are a monstrous human being and will go down in history as America’s Reinhard Heydrich, the butcher.

“The way you are protecting the obvious execution in Minnesota, even as we see the videos, will lead to your downfall. Even Trump will turn on you before the end, and you will be a sad, despised man who eats himself alive with shame at your own pathetic weakness.

“You will never know peace. You will seek to lose yourself, to escape the burden of knowing the truth about yourself. But wherever you go, you will find yourself. You will torment yourself until your last day on Earth.”
