President Donald Trump‘s most favorable pollster has warned that it could be “all over for MAGA” if the president gets the United States more deeply involved in the conflict between Iran and Israel.

“Kiss the Republican majority goodbye… For the next decade,” Rich Baris, the director of Big Data Poll, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “If he pulls the trigger, it’s all over for MAGA.”

I seriously doubt that Trump has the brains to step back from brink. On the plus side, perhaps we’ll be rid of him sooner than 2029.

MSNBC: Trump overplayed his hand in L.A. Now he’s going to try it in Chicago and New York City

The president announced he’ll look to deport more immigrants from America’s biggest cities.

President Donald Trump sought to use Los Angeles as a test case for his most dramatic efforts to date to fulfill his campaign promise to carry out the largest deportation in U.S. history. The results show he may have overplayed his hand.

After immigration officials carried out a series of sweeps in Los Angeles, crowds began to gather, leading to protests and, in some cases, clashes with police. Trump sent in the National Guard over the objection of the governor, then the Marines. A California senator was removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press event when he tried to ask questions.

So what did Americans think of all this? Roughly half said Trump has “gone too far” with the arrests of immigrants and disapprove of his handling of the protests, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

True to form, Trump is now doubling down. In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, he wrote that he will be directing ICE to “expand efforts to detain and deport” undocumented immigrants in “America’s largest cities,” specifically naming Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City.

Even if Trump wanted to carry out mass deportations at the scale he’s promised, the logistics are nearly impossible.

If at first you don’t succeed, fail, fail again!

Raleigh News & Observer: Judge Invokes ‘King George’ in Blow to Trump

A federal judge has questioned President Donald Trump’s legal grounds for deploying 4,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles amid Gov. Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit. California won the lawsuit, but an appeals court blocked the removal of troops. The judge expressed skepticism of Trump’s claim that unrest in the city justified the federalization. U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer noted key legal issues surrounding the deployment.

…

Prior to the appeals court temporary block, Breyer said, “That’s the difference between a Constitutional government and King George. It’s not that a leader can simply say something and it becomes it.”

…

Newsom wrote, “The court just confirmed what we all know — the military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets.”

Poeple: Trump Claims People Taken into ICE Custody Are Dangerous. But Only 10% Have Violent Crime Convictions: Report

Posted on by

A new CNN report based on government data found that more than 75 percent of those detained had no record beyond traffic or immigration offenses

  • A new CNN report shows less than 10% of people taken into custody by ICE have serious criminal offenses
  • Most people detained by ICE merely have traffic or immigration-related offenses
  • The new report on ICE data comes as Donald Trump and his administration casts immigrants as “barbaric” and “violent criminals” without evidence to back their claims

The “deporting only criminals” lie has been refuted over and over, yet King Donald’s regime continue to repeat it ad nauseum.

NBC News: FBI Director Kash Patel feeds 2020 election conspiracy theories with documents about unverified tip

FBI Director Kash Patel said this week the bureau had shared “alarming” — but unsubstantiated — allegations about manipulation of the 2020 election with a Republican member of Congress.

“The FBI has located documents which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP,” Patel wrote, referring to the Chinese Communist Party. “I have immediately declassified the material and turned the documents over to the Chairman Grassley for further review.”

The unsubstantiated claim promoted by Patel, which an unidentified confidential human source gave to the FBI in 2020, during President Donald Trump’s first term, asserts that the Chinese mass-produced driver’s licenses to be used in a mail-in ballot scheme.

…

No evidence of widespread or systemic voter fraud affecting the 2020 election has been found, despite allegations promoted by Trump and his allies since he lost that year’s presidential race.

Five years later these fools are still dredging up false claims about the 2020 election.

And this bozo is the director of what was once America’s premier law enforcement agency?

Mediaite: Top NYC Democrat Goes Off After Being Released Following ICE Arrest: Not Going to Allow Trump to ‘Wreck the Rule of Law’

New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was defiant in his message to President Donald Trump on Tuesday following his arrest by ICE agents.

Hours earlier, Lander attended immigration court hearings to support the migrants attending their scheduled hearings. The comptroller intended to walk out of court with them to ensure they weren’t detained. He claimed he had done so multiple times in the past without incident.

This time, however, the scene quickly turned chaotic. As Lander locked arms with a man and tried leaving with him, ICE agents surrounded them and separated the two. Moments later, Lander tried to do the same with another man who’d just attended his immigration hearing. This time, agents also placed Lander in handcuffs. He was detained several hours.

Around 3:15 p.m. ET, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul arrived at the facility where Lander was detained. Roughly an hour later, Lander emerged from the building with and was met with cheers.

…

The Department of Homeland Security accused Lander of assaulting an agent, but video footage of the incident clearly showed the comptroller simply held onto the men the agents tried to detain. He maintained at the presser that he just wanted the agents to provide him with a warrant authorizing the arrests.

Lander also confirmed that the charges against him had been dropped.

Another Democrat in handcuffs, phony charges later dropped.

Welcome to King Donald’s fascist Amerika!

Inquirer: Vaccine experts removed by Trump health chief sound the alarm

Vaccination experts recently fired by Donald Trump’s administration sounded the alarm in a Monday editorial, saying they were “deeply concerned” by the actions of a US health secretary known for his vaccine skepticism.

Last week Robert F Kennedy Jr dismissed all 17 members of a key advisory committee, accusing them of financial conflicts of interest.

Two days later, he announced the appointment of eight new members, including several vaccine critics, such as a biochemist who became the darling of the anti-vax movement.

His brainworms must be acting up again — nothing that a couple healthy servings of bushmeat and road kill can’t help.

BuzzFeed: Donald Trump’s Post About Increasing ICE Raids In Blue Cities Is Getting Shredded By Americans Online

One day after the nationwide “No Kings” protests drew out over 5 million demonstrators against the policies and actions of Donald Trump and his administration, Trump issued a harrowing announcement online.

In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote: “ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.”

How will they accomplish this? By expanding deportations in Democratic cities. “We must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside,” Trump wrote.

“These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens.”

Posted on by

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander (D), who’s running to be the city’s next mayor, was arrested by ICE agents at an immigration court in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday.

Politico’s Jeff Coltin posted the arrest video to X, writing, “Mayoral candidate Brad Lander was cuffed and detained by ICE agents after asking to see a warrant for people who were detained after an immigration hearing.

…

amNewYork reported, “The city’s elected financial watchdog, and a Democratic candidate for mayor, appeared at 26 Federal Plaza on the morning of June 17 to observe immigration hearings involving individuals marked for potential deportation. Lander’s arrest, which amNewYork observed, occurred as the comptroller and his staff walked arm-in-arm with an immigrant whom federal agents — representing ICE, the FBI and the Treasury Department, each of whom wearing masks to conceal their faces — moved to seize after a court hearing. Moments earlier, the immigrant had their case dismissed pending appeal.”

The news outlet reported, as ICE agents moved in to arrest him, Lander yelled: “Show me you warrant! Show me your badge!”

Raw Story: Trump rebuked as judge bars re-arrest of another student activist

Posted on by

A federal judge has once again handed President Donald Trump a loss in the administration’s efforts to deport international student activist Mohammed Hoque.

According to Politico legal affairs reporter Josh Gerstein, Judge Jerry Blackwell of the District of Minnesota granted Hoque’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus, preventing him from being re-detained.

Hoque, a Bangladeshi national studying at Minnesota State University-Mankato involved in pro-Palestine activism, was arrested earlier this year, allegedly over the revocation of his visa. Authorities reportedly followed him home from class and arrested him in front of his family.

Blackwell ordered his release last month after the federal government failed to prove it had a political reason for locking him up and terminating his Student and Exchange Visitor Program, or SEVIS, status.

In issuing the habeas grant, Blackwell further slammed the Trump administration for targeting Hoque over First Amendment-protected political activity.

“The record separately establishes that Petitioner’s SEVIS termination violates DHS policies. The first is a policy against targeting protected speech,” wrote Blackwell. “The second is a policy that visa revocation does not justify SEVIS termination … Not only does agency policy preclude the practice, it contravenes federal law.”
