Mediaite: Democratic Senator Warns Trump Putting Country Under ‘Quasi-Martial Law’ After ‘Chilling’ Cloak-And-Dagger Arrest
The video is really chilling. And this should matter to every single American. Okay, first of all the president doesn’t need the Alien Enemies Act in order to remove from this country. People who pose a threat to the nation, people who have engaged in criminal behavior or who have coordinated with terrorist groups, he has that power under existing law to remove from the country non-citizens. So he doesn’t need this authority.
What he is trying to do is put America on a war footing. This is an act that has only been exercised three times in American history. During the war of 1812, during the First World War, and during the Second World War. It is a wartime authority, and what you really worry about is the president continuing to move forward in exercising wartime powers in order to suspend additional elements of the constitution.
He, of course, has shown affection for something called the Insurrection Act, which would put the military in charge of everyday law enforcement in this country.
You are watching along multiple channels this massive slide away from democracy and democratic norms. And so that video is chilling because a the president doesn’t need that act to be able to remove a threat, but it speaks to his willingness to try to put America in a kind of quasi-martial law that ultimately will come to be a threat, not just to green card holders, but to American citizens as well.
So it’s a really worrying time and everybody in America should care what’s happening.

Newsweek: Greenland Tourism Business Accepts, Then Declines Usha Vance Visit
Vance visit refused!
Seriously, what country needs a visit from arrogant jerks that thinks they’re above the rest of the world?
“A Greenlandic tourism business has said it changed its mind about welcoming the vice president’s wife Usha Vance to their store.
“Tupilak Travel wrote on Facebook that it had informed the U.S. Consulate that it did not want Vance to visit because of the ‘underlying agenda.’ The post ended with a phrase meaning ‘Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.'”

The U.S. Sun: 14-year-olds to pull overnight shifts as US state moves to roll back child labor laws & combat ‘dirt cheap’ migrant work
14-year-olds to work overnight as immigrants get deported
In Florida, 16- and 17-year-olds are currently prohibited from working before 6:30 am and after 11 pm on school days.
They are also barred from working more than 30 hours a week during the school year.
A new proposal would remove all of those restrictions – including the requirement that teens get a meal break, the Miami Herald reported.
Governor Ron DeSantis supports the measure and argues it’s a way to address what he calls “dirt cheap” labor from illegal immigrants.

Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal
The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief.
So, about that Signal chat.
On Monday, shortly after we published a story about a massive Trump-administration security breach, a reporter asked the secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, why he had shared plans about a forthcoming attack on Yemen on the Signal messaging app. He answered, “Nobody was texting war plans. And that’s all I have to say about that.”
At a Senate hearing yesterday, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Ratcliffe, were both asked about the Signal chat, to which Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, was inadvertently invited by National Security Adviser Michael Waltz. “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal group,” Gabbard told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Ratcliffe said much the same: “My communications, to be clear, in the Signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information.”
President Donald Trump, asked yesterday afternoon about the same matter, said, “It wasn’t classified information.”
So if it wasn’t classified, and if the Trump administration is going to openly insult them and call them liars …
The statements by Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and Trump—combined with the assertions made by numerous administration officials that we are lying about the content of the Signal texts—have led us to believe that people should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions. There is a clear public interest in disclosing the sort of information that Trump advisers included in nonsecure communications channels, especially because senior administration figures are attempting to downplay the significance of the messages that were shared.
And here it is:
Houthi PC small group
Idiots used an unsecured public messaging platform to plan an attack on Houthi rebels. The discussion group was named “Houthi PC small group”. If these guys are Krasnov’s best and brightest, I’d hate to see their worst & dumbest.

Mediaite: Trump Just Handed His Biggest Enemy in Media a Slam Dunk
LOL! After all that whining about Hillary Clinton’s email server!
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
President Donald Trump insisted that information leaked to Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg was not classified multiple times during a White House press availability Tuesday afternoon. But his defiant tone may have just backed his administration into a corner of litigious federal investigations, potentially giving one of his most prominent and influential critics a major win.
…
Pro-Trump media figures have since bent over backwards to try to defend the massive security breach, which could potentially involve crimes, given the law that Trump enacted during his first administration in response to Hillary Clinton’s email server controversy.
Bloomberg: Deportations Won’t ‘Cure’ Blue Cities. They’ll Get Worse.
Trump has repeatedly disparaged American urban centers as dystopian hellscapes. His solutions are likely to hurt more than help.
It’s no secret that President Donald Trump has beef with America’s cities, especially the ones run by Democrats. He has long falsely cast them as crime-ridden, chaotic and dystopian — and often blamed immigrants for every urban ill.
Sure, cities aren’t perfect. But pandemic-era rates of violent crime have been dropping and cities remain economic engines, creating roughly 90% of the country’s output. And as US birth rates fall, cities owe much of their population growth to immigrants.
