Toddlers are appearing before immigration judges without lawyers. The Tr*mp administration has actively restricted, withheld, and allowed federal contracts to expire for legal service programs supporting unaccompanied immigrant children.

My new book—"HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America"—is out. It chronicles Putin's decade-long twilight war against the US & Trump's complicity. Get the big picture for Don Jr.'s Russian-financed wedding. Here are some great blurbs for the book. HowRussiaWon.com.

California loves a leading man as Governor. Becerra is definitely not that. But with everything the Reality-Star-in-Chief has done to this country, perhaps what we most need in Sacramento is a boring public servant with bad-joke-dad vibes that has a ton of experience and knows how to fight back.

Deaths in ICE custody have reached a record high; 49 people since January 2025. As many as 29 just in this fiscal year. But the Trump administration is shutting down an independent DHS oversight office that handles complaints about conditions and treatment in detention facilities.

Immigrants are dying in ICE detention. A key watchdog office is now gone.

David Zaslav is doing to Hollywood what Donald Trump did to America. Huge job losses, the rapid destruction of the middle class, majority of people now living paycheck to paycheck, and all so they can further enrich themselves. The problem is the billionaires, not the working class.

There’s a clear pattern to how Trump has long been building toward the Insurrection Act. He isn’t “unhinged”—his horrid responses to ICE shootings, assassinations, and mass killings are by design. National traumas are his ammo. I document his method here 👉🏻 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
