holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

If ICE can send subpoenas to deanonymize social media accounts, couldn't they have done it for the anonymous and overtly racist account we found is run by one of their own employees who is still working there?
steven monacelli@stevanzetti.bsky.social · last yr.REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.
A post online that got a bunch of traction teased a christian nationalist militia that's growing, but hid all of the info and group name behind a substack paywall. The group is called Ozark Christian Initiative, with chapters in MO, AK, TX, OK, and NE. Fuck people who gatekeep info on the far-right.
Brilyn Hollyhand was briefly pitched as "The Next Charlie Kirk." You can practically see the interest in him dissipate in real time. He was getting 10k+ views in the immediate aftermath of Kirk's death, a few months later he was barely hitting triple digits.
Holy shit! Jim Jordan is reduced to stammering when Kasie Hunt presses him on why he continues to support Max Miller despite credible allegations that he abused his ex-wife and toddler daughter
NEW: The 7th Circuit joins the chorus today, issuing a 2-1 decision ruling against the Trump admin on whether a 1996 law mandated the detention without a bond hearing of all undocumented immigrants who ever crossed the border unlawfully. The split is now 6-2 against Trump.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 6d agoGreat news; yet another court finds that ICE and the DOJ were wrong to declare that Congress secretly mandated detention of millions of noncitizens in 1996 (specifically, anyone who entered unlawfully at some point in the past, no matter how long ago), and that no one had noticed until now.
More Comey investigation bloopers: FBI agents scoured their database for any mention of "86" that would support Trump's theory of the case — and got "inconclusive results." The one who applied for the warrants searched the *Gambino* case file for a citation, found none, plunged ahead anyway.
SCOTUS did not stop Florida from killing James Duckett and will not stop the state from killing Dominick Occhicone today. There were no noted dissents. The state carried out Duckett’s execution earlier this afternoon and is set to kill Occhicone at 6p.
Either substantial portions of this country secede and form a new nation or we outlaw the Republican Party as an organization because its existence is incompatible with a functioning, democratic republic. A political party must abide by the rules in order to be protected by them.
tony romm@tonyromm.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
The subpoenas to The New York Times are withdrawn in real time, in open court, during a very embarrassing hearing for the Trump administration. Incredible work.
Inner City Press@innercitypress.bsky.social · 2w agoJudge: Mr. O'Neil take it away. David O'Neil of Debevoise: I have a lot to say but I'll be brief. It is important that the public know that the Government is unilaterally withdrawing these subpoenas. After this bad faith, I do not expect new subpoenas
The NYT subpoena hearing is a shit show, but the best part is they tried to hide the guy who fucked up in the gallery. It is still ongoing. Judge Subramanian has asked why he shouldn't invite a show cause for contempt.
This creepy ass stalker is still posting about me every single day. He's literally reposting stuff within seconds of me posting it here. Get some professional help because you clearly need it.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 5mo agoThis shit is still going on. Ben Ryan obsessively tweets about me nearly every single day. He tweets about the people and posts I repost. He does so often within seconds of me posting because his burner has push alerts for my posts. Then he deletes them weeks later to not look as unhinged.
How does PoliMath so consistently manage to be a living fucking meme? It *must* be a deliberate effort.
This was the single most meaningful episode of OA I've been a part of yet. Peter's book helped me to better understand myself as someone with #AuDHD, and to finally feel pride rather than shame for it. I hope that this joyful meeting of autistic minds can do the same for anyone else who needs it

“Trans-driven” god he is just so incredibly angry his daughter disowned him.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 2w agoThis MF is responsible for more deaths than there are trans people in the United States. He's putting up Hitler numbers. So maybe he should shut up before spouting lies like this.
Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.
Checking in on the documents I received in response to a FOIA request I sent to ICE in May 2025 that sought a copy of a document that had been routinely shared with immigration lawyers until my reporting relied on it to identify an ICE prosecutor as the operator of a white supremacist X account
A second ex-wife has hit the Maine ICE murderer
Jacqueline Sweet@jsweetli.bsky.social · 3w agoNEW: A second ex-wife of David Brouillette, the ICE agent who killed Joan Durán Guerrero in Maine, Lucinda Brouillette, issued a statement this morning. "If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes." /

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.
WIRED@wired.com · 3w agoYesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.
Now @apnews.com has a deeply reported story confirming the recently-hired ICE officer who shot a man in Maine had serious mental health issues and a long history of violence against women. This comes after ICE slashed hiring standards and rushed some into the field before background checks cleared.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 3w agoICE officer who shot Colombian man in Maine has history of threatening behavior and mental illness, family and court documents say.
The Justice Department appears to have included a fake AI-generated. citation in an ICE detainee's case. Judge Jarbou, a Trump appointee in Michigan, called it out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Publishing personnel lists of ICE and other DHS employees should be a priority for Democrats when they regain control of the House next year. These people have demonstrated a profound lack of character and do not deserve to be employed by any law enforcement agency for the rest of their lives.
Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social · 3w agoWow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.
Why does YouTube keep recommending me "My 600 Lb Life" clips after I watch several hours of "My 600 Lb Life?" It's really annoying.

Users on Reddit are saying these are the ICE agents in Biddeford, Maine who murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero today. A still image from a video obtained by CNN shows these two at the murder scene.
There's a portion of "Sunburn" by Tucker Wetmore that sounds like a muzak version of "When You Sleep" by My Bloody Valentine. Always fucks me up for a few seconds when I hear it in a grocery store or whatever
WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?
