Immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have filed more than 18,000 challenges in federal court.
The cases, known as habeas petitions, total more than were filed under the last three administrations combined, including Trump’s first term.
In Albuquerque last year, charges for unlawful camping increased sixfold, law enforcement charged people more than 1,200 times for obstructing sidewalks, and more trespassing charges were handed out than any year since 2017.

After moving manufacturing to the developing world to save on labor, Nike and other apparel brands are shifting employment in their Indonesian supply chain away from high-wage parts of the country and into less-developed areas.

Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.

"Unconditional surrender" is what Trump keeps saying he is demanding from Iran.
Woodrow Wilson demanded the same thing from Germany in 1919 at the end of the First World War.
And the humiliation for Germany from the terms of that surrender is why we have to call that war the *First* World War.
Graham: You see this hat? Free Cuba. Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. We’re marching through the world. Iran is going down and Cuba is next.
A wise administration wouldn’t start another war in the Middle East.
A competent administration wouldn’t bomb an elementary school full of children on day 1 of the war they started.
They are neither.
As if you needed any more evidence that "Faux News" is state-run propaganda media:
I demand UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER of the Epstein Files—and then your title of "President of the United States," and your liberty to walk freely in public.
That would be GREAT & ACCEPTABLE.
And JFK shot himself.
WATCH: Lindsey Burke wrote Project 2025’s chapter on education. Now she’s helping to run the Education Department.
ProPublica looked at how she and other advisers are realizing their vision of a dramatic decline in public education.

"Best of the Best"
+ Xenophobic White Supremacy
= "Worst of the Worst"
This becomes even more galling when you realize Donald only wore a cap to the "dignified" transfer because the slob is more worried about the appearance of his hair in wind than presence of soldiers in coffins.
Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.”
They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?
Trump: "We will bring the price of gasoline down…We're going to get your gas prices down…You're going to spend a lot less money for your gasoline."
It is reported that Iran selected Mojtaba Khamenei in part because Trump said in an interview that he was "unacceptable" to Trump.
So Trump has ensured the person running Iran is *more* theocratic and hates the US for killing his wife and father. Well done, Donald!

ProPublica Wins Lawsuit Over Access to Court Records in U.S. Navy Cases
A judge ruled that the Navy’s long-standing policy to withhold records from its criminal trials violated the First Amendment.

Trump: "Kamala would get us into World War III…All of your sons and daughters will end up getting a draft notice, a thing called the draft. 'Dad, what's this?' 'Oh, congratulations, you've been drafted into the military. You're going to fight a war.'"
