The US Administration is not engaged in a 'crackdown', which means strict punishment of people who break laws. It is engaged in a vast and universal program of immigrant exclusion, regardless of legal status, skill, and economic contribution.
A new rule ending the automatic extension of work authorization could lead employers to remove workers from payroll. Attorney Jon Wasden: “The next step is massive delays in adjudication times. This will force people out of work as they wait for an EAD.” @mclem.org www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

No-Empathy was at it again on Thursday With the Epstein distractions, the story missed the coverage it was due The AP didn’t run it until Yesterday (Friday) It may have been posted, but blocking a State Rep from attending an event where he represents constituents, is worthy of resurfacing
The Senate Intelligence Committee Led by Chairman Marco Rubio Found that Russia was working to get Trump elected in 2016 And that there were numerous links between Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign As Democrats on the committee correctly noted at the time “This is what collusion looks like”
As Trump DNI Tulsi Gabbard tries to distract from his Epstein cover-up by accusing Obama of “treason” over Russiagate (which was never a hoax), maybe some outlets could mention her disturbing ties to Russia, who called her “our girlfriend” on state TV? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Seriously, holy hell. Virtually every mainstream outlet has flubbed this limited hangout.
Why is Trump asking for grand jury testimony? 1. Because he knows it’s unlikely to be released and then he can blame the judge 2. Because that testimony is restricted to charges against Epstein and Maxwell and is unlikely to name clients 3. Because it generates delay and confusion.

Meet one of the most powerful philanthropists in the world…Mackenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos ex-wife. Now I understand why she divorced him. She helped him build Amazon and she’s had no plastic surgery.
The Delaware Nurses Association is speaking loud and clear that Trump's Big Ugly Bill needs to go. Millions of Americans depend on Medicaid and care is essential.
Republicans are selling out their own constituents to pad the pockets of billionaires.

This is disappointing, even if not surprising. I hope Republicans remember that their willingness to forfeit congressional power will have effects regardless of the party in power. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/27/us/trump-news?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
