6. Öztürk was later ordered released by a federal judge who found there was substantial evidence that her 1st Amendment rights were being violated and the evidence was woefully insufficient to justify her continued detention

5. Ashworth infamously denied bail to Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts university student, claiming she was “both a flight risk and a danger to the community.”

The only evidence presented by the gov't against Öztürk was that she co-wrote a student op-ed criticizing the university's stance on Israel.

When Dems get the gavel back, they should subpoena NBC to demand to know who made the decision to censor this, and whether the White House was involved
UPDATE: not only did NBC NOT play the booing clip, it appears the network intentionally edited it out.

That’s 34 pt overperformance, in a state Trump won by only 22pts. Oh, and Democrats still havent fielded any serious candidates for US Senate. Qualifying ends in 5 days.
We’re looking at another very big Dem overperformance tonight—in a Trump+13 district. Dem Chasity Martinez is up 61-39 with more than half the vote in. Notably, like in TX last weekend, the e-day vote has been even *better* for her than the early vote. voterportal.sos.la.gov/graphical

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

There’s a lot in this part of the release to shake you up, but the trafficking victim who apparently authored it crossing out ‘woman’ in Sylvia Plath’s poem and substituting ‘girl’… I won’t soon forget that.

The underlying dynamic is that for Jeff Bezos and the other media oligarchs, their news business is a tiny fraction of their overall business holdings and they are willing to sacrifice it to appease Trump. They resisted in term one; this time, they capitulated. www.mediamatters.org/cbs/year-med...

The Trump administration is no longer trying to get cash from Harvard as it seeks a settlement. At this point, the White House seems happy to get a signature on anything they can call a compact.

Putting on my suit and tie and going on America Erwache to describe a 234 year old basic requirement of the constitution for lawful searches and seizures as a “nonstarter.”
Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

Yes, it’s ridiculous. However, what goes around comes around. If Dems win full power again, they can pack the Court and rewrite the Constitution in all sorts of fun ways. Second Amendment? Thats fake—gone. The Equal Protection Clause? It requires Medicare for *All*—not just some.
very fun to think that there are at least four votes for "the president can unilaterally rewrite a constitutional amendment"

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
