WIN: A court ordered the Trump-Vance admin to stop censoring science and history at national parks – and within three weeks restore any materials it altered or removed.
This ruling ensures that America's largest classroom will continue to tell our country's vital stories. #OurParksOurHistory

After five months in detention at Delaney Hall, Emanuel Rodrigues was freed today.
Emanuel has a rare, life-threatening condition that affects his mobility. He says he took a bad fall after a guard told him he wasn't allowed to use crutches.

“If the State Police are going to use the same tactics as ICE agents, then they are no different than ICE. These actions do not in fact uphold public safety and do not protect people’s constitutional rights to peacefully demonstrate,” said Nedia Morsy of @maketheroadnj.bsky.social in a statement.

People calling for the 25th who don't understand how it works would do well to watch the first half of this broadcast.
He can only be removed if 2/3 of the Congress agrees to it, even under the 25th.
Impeachment is easier than this.

Today at 11 am ET, we're talking about Trump's threats of war crimes and calls to remove him via the 25th Amendment, what the 25th requires (the good/bad news), whether impeachment is possible, recent court decisions and the birthright citizenship argument, and way more.

❌ Premiums x3 for 20 million+ Americans

Wow. 733 measles cases so far this year. At this rate, 2026 will far exceed 2025, the worst year for measles in decades
Only 6 cases this year were imported from abroad. This is a domestic problem that will grow FAR worse when the babies going unvaccinated on RFK's watch admin go to kindergarten.

Trump just sued you, the American taxpayer, for $10B because he would not release his tax returns, and a leaker did. Recall, those records showed he paid NO income taxes 15 out of the 20 years.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

If anyone expects anything to change at this point, it’s not going to happen without changes across the board and that includes Chuck Schumer. We have real Democrats in the Senate. They have the power to change leadership at any time, and that needs to happen immediately.

The operation is intended to target immigrants from Somalia. People from countries including Sudan, Guatemala and Ethiopia were swept up on the first day of the operations.
