Remember states' rights? Can states arrest ICE officers? Governors like JB Pritzker of Illinois and Gavin Newsom of California are sure saying a lot, but what are they DOING? And what CAN they do to protect their own citizens from growing instances of abuse at the hands of federal agents?

Adelita Grijalva won her special election 3 weeks ago. Since then, over 800,000 people in Southern Arizona have been unrepresented in the House while Mike Johnson drags his feet and uses his job of administering the oath of office to hold her seat hostage to punish Democrats and block the release of the Epstein files. Are there any consequences for Johnson, and could this happen again after the 2026 midterms?

The Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Louisiana v. Callais on Wednesday, and the conservative justices, once again, seem poised to strike down more of the hard earned freedoms that have attempted to increase equality in this country. The consequences from the Court's ruling on this case would be widespread and devastating.

Russell Vought is Trump's Director of Management and Budget and, despite being incredibly, painfully boring, is actually someone worth paying attention to. He is intent on infecting the government with his Christian Nationalist world view and is one of the most influential people pulling the strings of the Trump regime today.

Stephen Miller freezes on live tv because he accidentally says the quiet part out loud. Pam Bondi rants and raves instead of just doing her job. Mike Johnson dangles back pay over the heads of 750,000 federal workers. The cruelty and the obfuscation are NOT normal, and it's important to acknowledge that Trump's many goons are acting in ways that are completely abhorrent and, at times, even illegal.

Trump and the DOJ have threatened retaliation against leftist organizations and protesters through the use of RICO investigations, as well as designating certain leftist groups as terrorist organizations. This is the latest on the weaponization of the death of Charlie Kirk against the left.

I have so many thoughts on this, but it felt most important to address the immediate messaging from the Trump regime blaming Charlie Kirk's death on leftists. Today's episode is a deep DEEP dive into the likely online lore that at least attempts to explain what the motivation was, if there even was one.

In a ruling from the Supreme Court Shadow Docket on Monday, the court, without explanation, allowed ICE to move forward with racially profiling individuals in LA and, presumably, in raids around the country. Brett Kavanaugh issued a concurring opinion that laid bare his complete disdain for reality or the truth. And the court seems unlikely to let up on this problematic shadow docket work any time soon.
