More Than 500 U.S. Citizens Have Been Detained, Including Handcuffed or Held at Gunpoint, in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown — ProPublica

Public anger comes for John Roberts
The chief justice’s summer retreat in Maine used to be one of boating, potluck dinners, touch football and easy friendships. Locals called him “John.”
Now a swirl of anger has been rising at him, transforming his getaways. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

We're getting what Stephen Miller wanted without the in-your-face stuff the media can't help but cover. And I honestly think that's hurting Trump too, with his base. One of the few things they were enjoying!

On 26 Sept 2003, sadly we lost the great, one and only Robert Palmer. He died from a sudden heart attack, aged only 54. "Addicted To Love" was one of my favourite singles of the 80s. Palmer hsd previously performed with Elkie Brooks in the band Vinegar Joe. #RobertPalmer #AddictedtoLove

How does one person (Vought) get in position to do so much damage? And how can we keep it from happening again?
Until recently there was bipartisan agreement that evidence use in federal agencies was a good thing. The Evidence-based Policymaking Act was passed in 2018.
The cuts rely on a trick Russ Vought has used across government. Unless spending for a specific purpose is mandated ("shall") it is cut.

Great thread from top to bottom, here’s the kernel.
The US has been captured by a revolutionary movement. It no longer has a normal electoral process, its Rule of Law is seriously degraded, the Constitution means whatever 5 of the 6 GOP operatives on the Supreme Court says it does, which can change w/the time of day, let alone day to day. 13/
