Sam and crew justifiably deride Tom Homan’s lamer attempts to justify ICE’s violations of the law, due process, and the Constitution.
(Warning: The last minute or so devolves into Sam stupidly making fun of Tom Homan’s speaking patterns. It’s so stupid I considered not using the video. Nevertheless, I think the larger point about the sophistries, misrepresentations, and lies used by the Trump maladministration to justify putting persons in concentration camps for being brown outweigh the stupid, so instead I’ll suggest that you hit stop when that silliness starts and forgive Sam for his lapse of judgment.)

Farron discusses the Trump maladministration’s plan plot to denaturalize naturalized citizens because they have the unmitigated gall to exercise their rights as American citizens.
Ironically, my local media celebrated a naturalization ceremony at Fort Monroe that took place on the Fourth.
This New Gilded Age 0
The editorial board of the Bangor Daily News looks at Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and sees little more a transfer of wealth from the poor to the already wealthy, with a healthy side dish of mean for the sake of mean.
I commend their editorial to your attention.

The Arizona Republic’s E. J. Montini discusses the latest manifestation of the Lake Effect.
Kill the Voice of America (VOA).
Why kill the VOA? one wonders. Well, actually one does not. The VOA was established to counter propaganda with truth, something for which the Trump maladministration has no use.
In a related piece, Laurie Roberts follows up with a report on Lake’s testimony at yesterday’s hearing, where the Lake Effect was in full display.
