The families of two Trinidadian men killed in a U.S. boat strike off the coast of Venezuela have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit, the first legal challenge to the Trump administration’s lethal attacks on boats.
Families of men killed in boat strikes sue Trump administration
The wrongful-death lawsuit is the first filed in federal court in response to lethal strikes conducted on what the government has said are drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

I’m Alex Vindman and I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Chaos, corruption and sky-rocketing costs are crushing ordinary people, while the billionaires and career politicians profit.
I stepped up when my country needed a soldier and now I’m stepping up again to fight for Floridians.

ICE-Gestapo killers were seen terrorizing a woman and her child today in Northeast Minneapolis today.
Abolishing ICE isn’t nearly good enough, we need to see many of them and their leaders in prison for assault, terrorism, crimes against humanity and murder.

I think the way to get rid of Miller is for Trump to find out that everyone thinks that Miller is the real president. No way Trump can handle that ego blow.
And it’s pretty clear that someone, or more than one, inside the White House is no longer working with him

SCOOP @ms.now: Congressional Democrats are mounting a long-shot bid to overturn the VA's new abortion ban, which prohibits abortion in the limited cases of rape/incest/health-threatening emergencies in which it was previously available for veterans.
Democrats mount a long-shot legislative bid to overturn the VA’s new abortion ban
The effort is unlikely to succeed, but Democrats say it would force Republicans to go on the record about abortion in the most dire circumstances.

Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

As someone who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it), let me tell you something:
The lies Trump, Vance and Miller say are not meant to be believed by their followers.
They are meant to be REPEATED.
The repetition of the lie is the test of loyalty to the cult.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
