The “Arc De Trump” isn’t a memorial, it’s a disgrace. Vietnam veterans are suing to stop its construction, and VoteVets is standing with them.

Democrats aren’t the only ones wondering if FBI Director Kash Patel is abusing taxpayer dollars to pay for his luxury vacations—even Republicans are privately starting to question what’s going on.

A letter provided to the House Judiciary Committee reveals that Chairman Grassley wrote to Patel back in May raising concerns about his unusual and excessive spending.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump has wiped out $1.5 billion in penalties and restitution for taxpayers and victims, thanks to his sweeping pardons of convicted fraudsters.

His family and his political groups, on the other hand, are raking it in. Watch.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Even after Trump political appointees at the Justice Department recommended criminal charges against Abbott Laboratories over contaminated baby formula, top Trump DOJ officials reportedly closed the case.

I’m launching an inquiry today to find out:

What role did Todd Blanche play in dismissing the criminal case?

What role did Kirkland & Ellis, a firm providing “free” legal services to the Trump administration while also representing Abbott, play in killing the case?

And if sick and dying infants aren’t a case Trump's DOJ thinks is worth pursuing – what is?

The idea that Byron Donalds is a bad guy is not new.

Liz Oyer, the former Justice Department pardon attorney, worked directly with for Todd Blanche.

He fired her for doing her job and refusing to be a rubberstamp.

Take it from her. Todd Blanche should not be confirmed

Judge Kaplan not mincing words on Trump having to pay E. Jean Carroll.

“Defendant has been stalling this case for years. A jury unanimously concluded that he sexually abused and defamed plaintiff and awarded her damages accordingly.“

Question for Republican Congress members: How is it that we have money to guild horses in gold leaf, but not enough for fruits & veggies for children?

One day after Democrats forced a rapist out of a major Senate race, Republicans officially named a major airport after one.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

So Trump changed the inspection requirement for ICE facilities from twice a year to every other year. Five have no inspection on record at all. We won't know the true depth of the horrors they're covering up for many years.

Nichols: It’s almost like we have a relative in the room, and there’s something deeply wrong with him. And we’ve all agreed not to talk about it. But there is something deeply wrong with him.

His friends know it, his critics know it. His staff, I’m sure, knows it. The world knows it. World leaders know it. And most importantly, our enemies know it, which is why they don’t take him seriously.

Nobody hangs on his words. They kind of do, but mostly out of freakish curiosity to see what kind of wild thing he’s going to say next, not because his words have any inherent meaning or reflect policy.

You know, I spent years teaching students that when the president speaks, it’s policy, and you must pay attention when the president speaks because nobody can contradict him.

Now, you know, are we really cutting off all trade with Spain? Who knows? Maybe. Maybe not. It might have just been a stray electron, you know, careening around inside his brainpan. Who knows?

But this is really dangerous because in the middle of all this stuff—and we can laugh about, you know, the Islamic Republic of Japan and all of that—but he made several statements about an ongoing war that the United States is losing. And no one’s even trying to pretend that they can make any sense of it.

And I’ll just add one last thing that you just brought up.

If this were any other president, this would be a national crisis. I mean, Joe Biden got somebody’s name wrong, and it was headlines. The president gets all kinds of things wrong, completely, you know, is out to lunch at an important NATO summit, and, you know, it’s Wednesday.

Daily Presidential Post

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum is right.

When U.S. companies hire undocumented workers, profit from their labor, and then our government criminalizes the workers instead of holding the employers accountable, that is not justice.

That is exploitation.

People come here to work. They build our homes, prepare our food, clean our buildings, care for our families, and keep entire industries running.

If America wants to have an honest conversation about immigration, then we need to stop pretending this is only about “papers.”

It is about labor.
It is about power.
It is about human rights.
It is about a system that benefits from people’s work, then punishes them for being here.

No human being should be detained, abused, or killed because they were trying to survive and provide for their family.

Accountability cannot stop with the worker. It must include the companies, the policies, and the politicians who created this broken system.

We need immigration reform rooted in dignity, due process, worker protections, and human rights.

Ron DeSantis built an entire law to control what Florida professors could teach about race. This week it collapsed in court—struck down by a judge from his own side.

NEW from @GregTSargent: it sure sounds like @ICEgov is trying to stop the witnesses to the shooting of Hector Araujo from speaking out.

All three of the people in the van have been kept in detention and now ICE is pressuring them all to agree to be deported immediately.

[MothersAgainstGregAbbottPAC/MothersforDemocracyPAC @MomsAGAbbott]

In the wake of Lorenzo Salgado Aranjo's death, we're reminded that every immigration headline is a human being and a family. It's time to demand ICE stop hunting down other humans to meet their quotas. If we want change, we need to vote the Monsters OUT. #ICEOUT #Houston
