Screenshots of text messages obtained by The Associated Press offer a rare look at how the nation's 75 immigration courts are churning out rulings in an assembly-line like fashion and how, for many people, the courtrooms have become deportation traps.

This is the law. Passed down from our Founding Fathers, to ensure our military upholds its oath to the Constitution — not a king. Given Stephen Miller is directing much of a military policy, he should buff up on the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.
The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.
Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.
If this isn't corruption, what is?

Des médias rapportent que des centaines de personnes détenues dans le centre de rétention pour immigrés en situation irrégulière, situé en Floride et connu sous le nom d'"Alcatraz des alligators", ont disparu de la base de données en ligne de la police américaine de l'immigration (ICE). Selon des associations de défense des droits des immigrés, il n'est ainsi plus possible de les localiser.

Donald Trump gave trillions of dollars in tax breaks to his rich friends and will now shut the government down because dems will not agree to cutting funds for everyday Americans. Don’t fall for this con man’s con.

Thanks everyone for taking action! Five websites and one app have been taken down. We just received a response with new details: while a site that was doxxing people wasn’t fully removed, the doxxing content has been taken down so the site remains compliant with its registrar.

The announcement of health insurance companies that they’ll continue covering routine vaccinations is a huge vote of no confidence in ACIP's recommendations. It reflects a desire by insurers to avoid the cost of illnesses by having their customers vaccinated.
