Miami Herald: Here’s Hegseth’s Response to ‘Our Boys’ Fact Check

When asked about the fact check and his language, Hegseth responded, “I say our boys and bombers as a common phrase, I’ll keep saying things like that, whether they’re men or women. Very proud of that female pilot, just like I’m very proud of those male pilots and I don’t care if it’s a male or a female in that cockpit and the American people don’t care. But it’s the obsession with race and gender in this department that’s changed priorities and we don’t do that anymore. We don’t play your little games.”

So says the washed out O-3 turned Fox talk show host who can never give a straight answer to a question.

TAG 24 News: Trump administration loses it over ICEBlock app: “Sure looks like obstruction of justice!”

On Monday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi [Bimbo #2] Noem shared an X post that included a clip from a CNN segment about the ICEBlock app, which creator Joshua Aaron told the network was created not to target agents, but rather to allow users to “avoid them altogether.”

“This sure looks like obstruction of justice,” [Bimbo #2] Noem wrote in her post.

It’s no different than holding up a sign that says “speed trap ahead” or “roadblock in half a mile” — it’s constitutionally protected free speech.

And when your Gestapo goons are snatching people off the streets based on their skin color, it’s a matter of self-preservation and self-defense. We are not lemmings.

“Our brave ICE law enforcement face a 500% increase in assaults against them,” she went on to claim, without providing evidence.

Who the fuck cares what happens to masked Gestapo thugs indiscriminately snatching brown people (including U.S. citizens) off the streets to meet their arrest quotas? Fuck ’em!

Washington Examiner: City of Providence partners with activist groups to help illegal immigrants evade ICE capture

In partnership with more than a dozen left-wing activist groups, the “sanctuary city” of Providence, Rhode Island, is sending illegal immigrants instructions by mail on how to navigate Immigration and Customs Enforcement encounters and effectively evade capture.

According to a press release announcing the citywide direct-mail campaign, the all-Democrat Providence City Council created the postcard advisories in response to “the brutal and unconstitutional enforcement tactics currently being undertaken by the far-right federal administration.”

“By taking this unprecedented action to protect our immigrant communities, councilors are sending a clear message: every Providence resident has a right to lead a dignified life free from state-sponsored intimidation and terrorization,” the announcement said.

Once processed, the informational “Know Your Rights” flyers will be directly distributed via postal service to every household in Providence. Printing and postage reportedly cost $17,000 for the over 62,500 residences expected to receive the postcards.

The 6×11 cards consist of two sections. In the top portion, illegal immigrants are advised of actions to take if an ICE agent appears at their home. “DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR,” the instructions say. “DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR SIGN ANYTHING.”

The lower pocket-sized segment, which declares “I will not open the door for an ICE administrative warrant,” can be cut off, stored in a wallet, and presented to immigration officers. “If you are inside your home, slide it under the door or press it against a window,” the notice tells illegal immigrants.

Daily Beast: Trump Declares War on Los Angeles Following ICE Protests

The Trump administration has sued the City of Los Angeles for discriminating against federal immigration officers.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit Monday against Los Angeles, its mayor Karen Bass, and the Los Angeles City Council for “illegal” sanctuary city policies that it says “deliberately impede federal immigration officers’ ability to carry out their responsibilities.”

Two reasons why the feds will lose this one:

    1. Masked Gestapo pigs are not a protected class under the discrimination laws.

    2. The Tenth Amendent does not permit the federal government to order the states to do the feds’ bidding.

    Independent: Trump says he will ‘take a look’ at deporting Musk as feud reaches new height

    The world’s richest person has been criticizing Trump’s signature legislation as costing far too much

    Donald Trump said he would “take a look” at deporting Elon Musk after his former ally renewed criticism of the tax and spending megabill on which the president has bet his legislative agenda.

    As he departed the White House on Tuesday to visit an immigration detention facility in Florida, the president was asked if the Tesla billionaire – a naturalized American citizen originally from South Africa – could be forced out in retaliation for his attacks on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act under debate in the Senate.

    “I don’t know,” he replied. “We’ll have to take a look.”

    Trump also hinted he might turn the quasi-agency once run by Musk, the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), on his former friend.

    “We might have to put Doge on Elon,” he said. “You know what Doge is? Doge is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon.”

    Instead of governing equitably and fairly as a president should, King Donald is a small-minded coward who turns everything into a personal vendetta.

    MSNBC: Rep. Ogles is openly calling on Pam Bondi to betray the constitution

    Last week, Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi that called for a federal investigation to determine whether New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Uganda — should be subject to denaturalization proceedings based on eight-year-old rap lyrics that Ogles claims could constitute material support for terrorism. At a news conference Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated that the allegations, “if true, were something that should be investigated.”

    And earlier in June, the Justice Department issued a memo announcing its directive to “maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings.”

    The Trump administration made denaturalization a priority during the first term, creating a special Justice Department section to pursue these cases. The administration now appears positioned to expand these efforts with a policy requiring that denaturalization be pursued wherever legally possible.

    As the apparent next step in the Trump administration’s mass deportation regime, this rarely used but potentially far-reaching government power is getting newfound attention. As legal scholars who study denaturalization, we believe the new Justice Department policy could significantly expand the circumstances under which naturalized Americans might lose their citizenship in ways that raise serious constitutional questions.

    … the [Supreme] court held denaturalization was unconstitutional in most circumstances, leaving open only cases in which someone “illegally procured” citizenship by not meeting requirements or obtaining it through fraud or concealment of material facts. In the half-century after this decision, fewer than 150 Americans were denaturalized, mostly former war criminals who had hidden their pasts.

    More fundamentally, we argue that aggressive denaturalization policies conflict with constitutional principles of citizenship. The framers envisioned citizens as sovereign, serving as the source of government power rather than its subjects. Allowing the government to strip citizenship from naturalized Americans for decades-old conduct creates exactly the kind of arbitrary governmental authority the Constitution was designed to prevent.

    The administration’s “maximal enforcement” approach means pursuing cases beyond clear instances of fraud, potentially including any situation in which evidence might support denaturalization regardless of strength or age. This approach will inevitably result in cases involving ambiguous evidence that can be arbitrarily interpreted by the government.

    While supporters of the Trump administration’s deportation efforts argue that denaturalization maintains the integrity of the naturalization system, we contend that the policy risks creating different classes of citizenship, with naturalized Americans facing ongoing vulnerability that native-born citizens never experience. This effectively creates the kind of second-class citizenship that our constitutional system forbids.

    Knewz: Angelenos Left to Clean Up City After ICE Protests

    India Today: Will not accept this intimidation: Zohran Mamdani reacts to Trump’s arrest threat

    The Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is not backing down. In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Mamdani blasted President Donald Trump for what he described as a direct threat to his rights and citizenship. The comments come amid Trump’s escalating rhetoric on immigration enforcement and his vow to expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations if reelected.

    “The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp, and deported,” Mamdani wrote in a statement posted online. “Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.”

    Explicame: Goodbye to the IRS Direct File, President Trump seeks to end it

    The “One Big Beautiful Bill” proposed by President Trump is making waves in the fiscal landscape, not just for its broad reforms but for its potential to dismantle the IRS Direct File program. This initiative, which has gained traction in the Senate and awaits a final vote in the House of Representatives, could see the end of a service that has simplified tax filing for countless Americans.

    Launched as a pilot program, the IRS Direct File was designed to offer a free, online tax filing option directly with the IRS. Initially available in 12 states, it expanded to 13 more by 2025, with plans for further growth. Despite its popularity among taxpayers, the program has faced criticism from some Republicans who view it as redundant and wasteful.

    Federal investment in the program reached approximately $75 million, with $41 million spent in the year ending April 2025. Despite this, a study by the Urban Institute in December 2024 found that three-quarters of surveyed taxpayers were interested in using Direct File. This highlights a strong public desire for expanded free filing options and a simplified tax process.

    75% of the people want it, so the out of touch King Donald scraps it!

    New York Post: Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ will ‘turbocharge’ mass deportations with hiring of 10K new ICE agents: WH

    ICE will “turbocharge” its arrests and deportations of illegal migrants roaming the country when President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act is passed, administration officials said Tuesday.

    The nearly 900-page megabill — which was approved by the Senate on Tuesday — will allow ICE to hire 10,000 new officers and double its capacity to detain illegal immigrants. It also offers a $10,000 a year bonus for immigration agents, according to the White House.
