trump to a rally crowd in Nebraska: "Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego." The PRESIDENT said this. The crowd cheered. This should not be news-cycled away. 🚨LIVE on my YouTube at 6:30PM ET!

45 asylum seekers imprisoned in Georgia's Folkston ICE detention center went on hunger strike today. Some have been in this concentration camp for three years. They demand immediate release into the US, protection from re-detention and deportation, and reunification with loved ones.

The saturation of sports betting not just in ads between innings, but *during* the actual #MLB #Playoffs broadcasts is really turning me the F off. Sports Betting & Polymarket/Kalshi crap need Tobacco-level advertising regulations.

24 days after the 25th anniversary of 9/11, our president stood before a group of supporters stating that it would be a small price to pay if Iran took out San Diego or Los Angeles.

Democrats just need to go 1-for-2 in toss-up races in order to win control of the State Senate for the first time since The Gerrymander began in 2012. They could certain win both of those races. SD21 is looking like a "Lean D" contest. An 18-15 Democratic majority is in play.

Since this summer, ICE has been arresting asylum applicants at airports. Many came legally, then applied for asylum. They have been here for years just stuck in a massive line, working and paying taxes while they wait. No prior admin would have arrested them. Their “overstay” is due to DHS delay.

In one violent incident on August 1, immigration agents in CPD's 25th District station lot boxed in an ICE observer, ripped her from her car and moved her to one of their SUVs to detain her. We asked for security footage from that morning. It shows ICE agents in full view of local police:

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

The mortality reviews that ICE published late last week show that medical neglect is widespread in Trump's concentration camps — something immigrants, advocates and attorneys have said for years, and which ICE routinely denies. New from me in @prospect.org.
