The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal attempt to end birthright citizenship. While it’s unlikely that this fight is over, today’s decision affirms our Constitution and celebrates our nation’s enduring ideal: “out of many, one.”

3 judges with the International Criminal Court filed a lawsuit in a US federal court against Trump and his administration, challenging the sanctions against them and calling it a "financial death penalty."

The judges bringing the lawsuit are:
- Kimberly Prost (Canada)
- Solomy Balungi Bossa (Uganda)
- Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini-Gansou (Benin)

Trump placed sanctions on the judges over their judicial decisions regarding investigations into war crimes by Israel and the US.

The judges argue that the sanctions are extrajudicial measures meant to punish and coerce them. They say the restrictions cut them off from banking, online platforms, travel booking, and sometimes health insurance.

This should be much bigger news.

Pete Hegseth claims promotions should be based on merit.

Great. Then he shouldn't object to explaining why qualified women and people of color are being passed over for promotion.

I spoke in support of @RepLoisFrankel's amendment requiring Hegseth to justify these decisions. Transparency is the bare minimum when careers and military readiness are on the line.

Donald Trump is saying very clearly that his voter suppression bill, the SAVE Act, is more important to him than taking care of the housing crisis in our nation.

BREAKING: Jared Kushner hits a MASSIVE snag with his corrupt Albania resort as villagers reveal that the land he's using is disputed — meaning he doesn't have the right to build at all.

This was the last thing that he and Ivanka expected...

"I was ready to get a rifle and start shooting. I was a small boy when I put my feet in that water. Now I am an old man and they say I cannot," said Kostaq Konomi, an 81-year-old villager who tried to access land that he has long owned only to discover barbed wire and uniformed men blocking access.

The land belongs to him but has been cordoned off as Kushner and his crooked business partners move forward with building a sprawling resort for the pedophiles, war criminals, and money launderers of the Epstein Class.

Konomi is one of a dozen villagers from Zvernec who claim that their land was "wrongfully sold for development" by Artur Shehu, a rival legal claimant according to Reuters. These individuals were able to produce property deeds and tax records to support their claims. None of them were paid when their land was seized. Their attorney revealed that they will be filing a court order to halt the project.

In other words, the region that Kushner and his partner are developing is simultaneously claimed by the man that "sold" them the land and these villagers who claim to rightfully own it. This dispute is the basis of the ongoing legal fight, meaning that the land could not have possibly been sold legitimately.

This revelation adds a perhaps insurmountable stumbling block to what was already an embattled project. Protests have swept the country over the past month as Albanians took to the streets to voice their opposition to Kushner's plutocratic endeavor. The backlash has been nicknamed the "Flamingo Revolution" because the project endangers the protected habitats of several wildlife species.

Not only that, but the European Union has warned Albania that the development may complicate its bid to join the EU because it violates crucial environmental rules.

The fight is not yet over, but the proud Albanian people are gaining ground by the day. They are going to show the world that their country belongs to them, not the rich, entitled perverts of the global oligarchy!

Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the people of Albania!

@MollyJongFast You could prob'ly start a six-month series on stories that were spiked!

[Geoff Wheeler @geoffwhe]

@MollyJongFast What surprises me is all the info about the incompetence of the contractor (well documented at the start) not being a cause of investigation. It was 'old news' before the job was redone the _first_ time.
Mike Johnson was never gonna tell, but where was our "free" press?!

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water.

Equipment taxpayers already bought and paid for, removed right as record temperatures and a possible collapse of Atlantic currents have scientists alarmed. There is no savings analysis. The gear is already paid for. And the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea, destroying the only tools that could measure the damage.

They are smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

No vote. No law. No debate. Just a policy manual, rewritten in the dark — and if successful, some of the last wild land in America will lose its only protection. 🌳 ⛰️ 🦌

The Trump administration isn't waiting for Congress. They're rewriting the rulebook instead.

That rulebook has a name. It’s called the Wilderness Act. It’s protected places like Yellowstone and Yosemite since 1964. Repealing it would require an act of Congress. So instead, they’re rewriting the internal manuals that define what it actually means on the ground.

The law stays. The protection disappears.

Right now, when a tree falls across a trail in a designated wilderness area, a ranger picks up a hand saw. Not because it's easy. Because silence is the rule. Because a grizzly bear needs quiet to survive. Because noise means conflict, and conflict in bear country means a bear that doesn't make it - and cubs that won't survive the winter alone.

FOIA records show the Forest Service is already quietly moving to allow chainsaws in designated wilderness. Nearly 100 conservation organizations are sounding the alarm. And the internal manuals governing the NPS, BLM, and Fish and Wildlife are all now under review. More than 80% of National Park land is on the table.

For six decades, a fallen tree meant one thing: you work with the land on its own terms. That's not just a rule. That's a philosophy. And they're erasing it one manual at a time, while the clock on the comment period quietly ticks down.

Who decided the Wilderness Act was just a suggestion?

@JShawnTru07 @FrencHMonTanA Not the point. It'll be days, if not weeks, before he can make any money with that cab. And, if you know anything about the razor-thin profit margin involved, his premiums are bound to go up, further eroding his earnings.

Straight facts matter there, Junior.
