President Joe Biden spent months working tirelessly to broker a ceasefire and quietly secured the release of 140 hostages.

Donald Trump allowed Netanyahu to unravel that progress, freed just 28, and then tried to claim Biden’s plan as his own.

Don’t be fooled by the performance.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

"The courts have no job to do here other than read the plain language of the Constitution." And so far, with the exception of one very big, important court, they're doing it.

Courts Keep Smacking Down Trump’s Lawless Attempt to End Birthright Citizenship

But he keeps plugging away—believing his allies on the Supreme Court will ultimately side with him.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.
