President Trump’s nominee to head the National Counterterrorism Center is under fresh scrutiny as emails show he pressed senior intelligence analysts to amend an assessment of links between the Venezuelan government and the criminal gang, Tren de Aragua, known as TDA, to align the assessment more closely with Trump administration policies and to include references critical of Biden-era immigration programs.

The nominee, Joe Kent, is just being a good sycophant, sucking up to the bosses and giving them what they want to hear.

Newsweek: White House rips federal judge who said Trump admin violated court order

White House press secretary Karoline [Bimbo #1] Leavitt tore into a federal judge on Thursday who accused the Trump administration of “unquestionably” violating a court order to provide “meaningful” due process to people who are targeted for deportation.

During Thursday’s White House press briefing, [Bimbo #1] Leavitt described Murphy as a “liberal activist district court judge” from Boston who “is trying to force the President of the United States to bring these monsters back to our country.”

While she spoke, a screen behind [Bimbo #1] Leavitt displayed photos of the deportees the White House says were on the flight and Leavitt rattled through a list of crimes the men are accused of or have been convicted of committing.

Your photos and rants are irrelevant, Karoline [Bimbo #1] Leavitt. Our constitution guarantees certain inalienable rights, including due process, to everyone in this country including immigrants, legal or not, whether a nattering fool like you agrees with it or not.

Business Insider: A judge blocks Trump’s plans to abolish the Department of Education, fire workers, and transfer student loans

  • President Trump signed an executive order Thursday seeking to dismantle the Department of Education.
  • The department has faced opposition since its initial establishment — and prompt closure — in 1867.
  • Concerns of government overreach and unnecessary spending have fueled opponents throughout history.

President Trump signed an executive order to start eliminating the Department of Education on Thursday, though he needs congressional approval before it can actually shutter.

Meanwhile King Donald and his sycophants are not above abusing the Department of Education as a bully pulpit to harass universities to support their anti-diversity and anti-transgender agendas.

MAGA advocates staged a meltdown on social media after news broke that the U.S. Supreme Court failed to reach a decision in favor of allowing taxpayers to pay for a religious charter school in Oklahoma.

The court tied 4-4 Thursday, with one conservative justice siding with liberals.

Have these bozos not heard of the separation of church & state?

Newsweek: Harvard graduate self-deports to Mexico

A Harvard graduate has self-deported to Mexico alongside his husband amid fears about President Donald Trump‘s immigration crackdown.

Francisco Hernandez-Corona, 34, and his United States citizen husband, Irving Hernandez-Corona, decided to leave the country because the federal government ramped up immigration enforcement, NBC10 Boston reported.

The couple traveled to Mexico’s west coast, arriving in Puerto Vallarta three weeks ago.

“We started seeing ICE everywhere and people sent to El Salvador,” said Francisco.

“There would be knocks at the door and [Francisco] would be scared and be terrified,” said Irving. “It was never our intention to leave under these circumstances. We left, basically fleeing.”

Francisco came to the U.S. when he was 10, sent by his father to cross the border with the help of a coyote. He described the journey through the desert as “the worst three days of my life,” adding, “Nobody asked me if this is what I want to do. I didn’t have a choice.”

Raleigh News & Observer: Another University Faces Investigation for Defying Trump

The U.S. Department of Education is investigating Western Carolina University for allegedly violating Title IX and not complying with the Trump administration’s executive order on transgender women. The Office for Civil Rights claims the university has not ensured sex-separated facilities within federally funded institutions. Allegations include a female student being investigated for asking a male student to leave a women’s bathroom and cases of transgender female students being assigned to girls’ dormitories.

Western Carolina University stated it complied with all state and federal regulations and asserted it will adjust campus policies as necessary. Reports indicated violations related to ensuring sex-separated intimate spaces.

An investigation was opened after former student Payton McNabb filmed a male student in a women’s bathroom. McNabb noted that such policies violate individual rights and negatively impact female students seeking single-sex spaces.

So the investigation is based on the whining of a FORMER student., not on current conditions at the school.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram: Pam Bondi’s Massive Stock Trade Sparks Ethical Concern

Posted on by

Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly sold shares in Trump Media & Technology Group valued between $1 million and $5 million on the same day President Donald Trump announced significant tariffs on global trade. The announcement during a press conference called “Liberation Day” included baseline tariffs on most imports and specific tariffs, such as a 20% rate on the European Union. The news led to a drop of over 10% in Trump Media’s stock, sparking concerns about the ethical implications of Bondi’s actions.

While it remains unclear whether Bondi sold her shares before or after Trump’s announcement, Trump Media registered its top shareholders, including Bondi and Trump, with the Securities and Exchange Commission the day before the sale. The exact connection to her transaction remains uncertain.

Eventually all of this pond scum will be locked up.

Associated Press: Trump’s $600 million war chest: How he plans to wield his power in the midterms and beyond

Between a barrage of executive orders, foreign trips and norm-shattering proclamations, Donald Trump has also been busy raking in cash.

The president has amassed a war chest of at least $600 million in political donations heading into the midterm elections, according to three people familiar with the matter. It’s an unprecedented sum in modern politics, particularly for a lame-duck president who is barred by the U.S. Constitution from running again.

The only way for MAGA & King Donald to survive is to buy their way through the mid-term elections in 2026.

Prominent national security attorney Mark Zaid has filed a preliminary injunction request to restore his security clearance that the Trump administration revoked.

In late March, President Donald Trump rescinded the security clearance of Zaid and other well-known lawyers, politicians, and officials. Zaid sued the Trump administration in early May over this revocation, arguing the president’s executive order represented “dangerous, unconstitutional retaliation.”

…

“We say enough of Trump taking away security clearances out of retaliation & with no basis,” attorney Norman Eisen added on social media, along with a photo of the motion.

Washington Post: Disney World suspends Venezuelan workers who lost legal status

Almost four dozen Venezuelan workers who had temporary protected status have been put on leave by Disney after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to strip them of legal protections

The Walt Disney Co. became the first major employer to confirm it is distancing itself from Venezuelan employees with temporary protections, after the Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration’s termination of their legal status.

Disney notified 45 “cast members” who are Venezuelan workers who lost their temporary protected status (TPS) that they are on leave without pay following the high court’s ruling.

It is such a disgrace to see legitimate refugees treated in this manner.
