ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->

Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

We only rate dogs. This is a baby kangaroo, as you can tell by the kickstart button on her foot. Please only send dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (TT: supernoodlegirls)

COBRA? What an awful name for such a sweet pup! It'd be nice if @mayor.nyc.gov would do something about all the unnecessary euthanizing going on in #nycacc!

Help save Cobra! nycacc.app/browse/259421 I hated Eric Adams but statistically less animals were euthanized at #nycacc than under popular Mamdani. That’s one thing Mamdani needs to fix NOW! Fosters on the East coast needed! Urgent ‼️ Reposts needed urgent ‼️ They save lives!

Crying is supposed to be a great catharthis, and it is. It's much more effective, though, if someone's there, handing you tissues. Anyone got a Kleenex? It's okay. I can get my own.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

In a push to move his confirmation to the role forward, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche late Sunday formally rescinded the Justice Department's controversial $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund." 🤮🤮🤮🤬🤮🤮🤮 Once he’s confirmed he will flipflop on the fund! #Blues www.npr.org/2026/08/03/g...

Blanche wins backing from 2 key GOP holdouts after rescinding anti-weaponization fund

Todd Blanche's nomination to serve as attorney general has been held up in a Senate committee over the $1.8 billion fund. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis said they now look forward to voting for Blanche.
