wow, you're telling me a ton of senators and congressmen have been funneling bribes into their personal pacs for years? it's almost like the dissenting opinion in citizens united was right, and that opening the door to super pacs has undermined the integrity of elections! Post: InteractInk.com

This is not isolated to this one detention camp. I’m 100% positive this is a feature of all the camps under this administration. This alone should send every one in this administration and all congresspeople who voted for it to The Hague

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

Elon Musk is planning to spend at least $100 million to help Republicans in this year’s midterms. That’s just 0.014 percent of his current $702 billion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.

UPDATE: ProPublica is tracking the increase in immigrants filing claims that their detention is illegal — known as habeas cases. While new cases are being added at a somewhat slower rate, there are still far more than ever before: propub.li/4yiYGwu
A bar chart shows the number of detention challenges filed each week since January 2025. The number of cases grew somewhat slowly from almost none to just under 1,000 at the end of 2025, then it jumped rapidly to a peak of 2,291 cases per week in February of 2026. Since then, new cases have dropped a bit to 1,774 per week in July 2026.
