Stephen Miller wants to turn daily life into scenes of terror and I hope he goes to The Hague for it.
The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

thanks to Musk we are on the path to 25 million excess deaths abroad because of US aid cut off.

25 million. 4 holocausts plus. unbelievably horrific...and mostly greeted with a shrug.
US government spending since Jan. 21 “is up 8.7% over the equivalent period in 2024 ..

in addition to being brazenly unprincipled, this is evidence that the conservatives KNOW trump is a mad king, but still want to imbue him with royal authority — against the well-documented history and tradition of the united states — out of their blinkered devotion to a narrow ideological project
This bespoke exception for the Fed is one of the most brazenly made-up things I've ever seen the Supreme Court do (which is saying something). There is no principled basis to distinguish the Fed from other independent agencies. The conservative justices just don't want Trump to crash the market!
The Supreme Court goes out of its way to say that its order today does NOT allow Trump to remove members of the Federal Reserve because it is "uniquely structured" and has a "distinct history tradition." (I do not think those distinctions hold water.) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

The Supreme Court achieved what law professors believe to be the biggest instantaneous “de-documentation” of immigrants in U.S. history.

350,000 Venezuelans woke up on Monday with legal status and went to bed without it.

What happens next remains unclear.

“we care more sincerely and deeply about anti-Semitism than those nefarious Jews” is one of the most common and acceptable forms of anti-Semitism in American discourse
An appropriate way to understand Project Esther, and Trump's "anti-semitism" purge, is that it is predominantly driven by right-wing Christian nationalists attacking institutions they dislike, even if it also includes attacking Jewish students and groups.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism.

Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.
