Democrats: Maybe We Went Too Far Left
on Immigration
Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/8/2025 12:44:50 AM
Remember this moment in 2019 when Democrats were asked to raise their hands if they supported treating border crossing as a civil issue aka decriminalize the border. Nearly ever hand went up. In retrospect, some Democrats are realizing this may have been a big mistake. Six years later, the party remains haunted by that tableau. It stands both as a vivid demonstration of a leftward policy shift on immigration that many prominent Democratic lawmakers and strategists now say they deeply regret, and as a marker of how sharply the country was moving in the other direction.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent administrative subpoenas to Harvard University today over information related to the criminality and misconduct of foreign students on its campus.
The agency criticized the Ivy League school’s "refusal to cooperate" with past information requests regarding Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), which provides visas for non-citizens to study in the U.S.
"We tried to do things the easy way with Harvard," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital. "Now, through their refusal to cooperate, we have to do things the hard way. Harvard, like other universities, has allowed foreign students to abuse
A man whom the Biden administration prosecuted over a satirical meme online just won a victory in court, as his outrageous and anti-constitutional conviction was thrown out.
Douglass Mackey announced on X on July 9, “BREAKING: THE SECOND CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS HAS THROWN OUT MY CONVICTION FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE[.] THE CASE HAS BEEN REMANDED TO THE DISTRICT COURT WITH ORDERS TO IMMEDIATELY DISMISS[.] HALLELUJAH!” This is not only a victory for Mackey personally but for the First Amendment and all those who believe in the right to free speech. Mackey followed up his initial announcement by thanking God and triumphantly announcing his intent to sue the Justice Department.
Anti-Israel activists vandalized the homes of multiple members of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents last week, accusing them of complicity in “genocide.”
In the early morning hours of July 3, at least four of the 18 regents had their driveways defaced with spray paint and fake blood, while one UW system employee was also victimized. Those targeted by the vandalism received a letter with a list of demands, including divestment from companies that fund military operations in Israel.
Vandals wrote “Regents are complicit in genocide” and “UW BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS”
Last March there was a massive warehouse in the town of Leyton which is in East London. The fire took substantial resources to put out.
Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters tackled a fire involving a range of industrial units at an industrial estate on Staffa Road in Leyton.
Part of three single-storey units were damaged by fire. There were no reports of any injuries.
An investigation eventually proved the fire hadn't been an accident. It was a case of arson carried out by young locals who had been hired by the Wagner Group, the Russian mercenary group. It turns out the warehouses were full of Starlink
'Instead of talking about growth at Chinese rates, the world will soon be talking about growth at Argentine rates,” President Javier Milei of Argentina said in April. And here we are in July doing just that.
Argentina’s economy is growing at 7.7 percent, according to the latest year-over-year data. It grew by 1.9 percent in April, the most recent month for which data are available. The Chinese economy is growing at a rate of about 5 percent per year (if you believe the official statistics, which there are good reasons to doubt).
Argentina is achieving this growth not through a strategic industrial policy or a mercantilist trade policy
The irony is thick, but these federal employees--some former, some current--have told NOTUS that they are turning their color revolution skills to taking down the President of the United States.
They are confirming that they are the Deep State and that they are proud of it. They want you to know that they are the real government. It's a remarkable story when you think about it.
“Take it from those of us who worked in authoritarian countries: We’ve become one,” said a currently employed federal official, who spoke to NOTUS on condition of anonymity. “They
Is that true? On American college campuses and in Big Apple mayoral primaries, Hamas seems to be thriving. In Gaza, however, the end may be nigh.
Yesterday, an unnamed Hamas security officer painted a grim picture about the status of the terrorist network for the BBC. Leaderless, disconnected, and just about out of ammo, the remnants of Hamas don't have many options left. In fact, this insider expects Israel to now finish the job, since there aren't many reasons for them to let up:
"Let's be realistic here - there's barely anything left of the security structure. Most of the leadership, about 95%, are now dead... The active figures have
The Trump administration can move forward with plans to fire tens of thousands of workers across the federal government, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.
A judge in California had blocked the layoffs, finding that they would likely violate federal law. But the justices granted an emergency appeal from the administration seeking permission to enforce a Feb. 11 executive order that instructed agencies to carry out dramatic “reductions in force.” In an apparent 8-1 ruling, the high court said it was not assessing the legality of any particular agency’s layoff plans, nor any moves taken so far to implement those plans. Litigation over the downsizing efforts is sure to continue. But
President Donald Trump accused Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday of spewing “bull*,” one day after Trump announced plans to send more weapons to Ukraine to help in its fight against the Kremlin.
“That was a war that should have never happened,” Trump said during a cabinet meeting in Washington, D.C., referring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “A lot of people are dying and it should end.”
“We get a lot of bull* thrown at us by Putin if you want to know the truth. He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless,” he added.

A group of left-wing militants is facing charges after ambushing officers outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility on July 4, the latest attack in what’s fast becoming a trend of leftist violence towards federal agents.
The Justice Department filed a complaint Monday against ten defendants for organizing the ambush at an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas on the Fourth of July. Each defendant is being charged with three counts of attempted murder of a federal officer and three counts of discharging a firearm
During an interview with CBS News on Monday, Tom Fahy, the Legislative Director for the National Weather Service Employees Organization stated that while there were vacant management positions at some offices in Texas, “we had an all-hands-on-deck situation where we had a full compliment, full staff of meteorologists working in those shifts.” And they did get warnings out.
Fahy stated, “[I]t really comes down to, at this particular time, in the San Angelo and San Antonio offices, yes, there were three management vacancies, but we had an all-hands-on-deck situation where we had a full compliment, full staff of meteorologists working in those shifts.
Two young sisters killed during the devastating floods in Central Texas on Friday sent a final text message to their family before they died.
The bodies of the victims, identified as 13-year-old Blair and 11-year-old Brooke Harber of Dallas, were located 15 miles away in Kerrville after the water carried them from a house in Hunt, the Houston Chronicle reported on Sunday. Their aunt, Jennifer Harber, said the children were staying with their grandparents and Brooke sent the text that read, “Saying I love you at 3:30 a.m.,” to their family as the storms intensified.
The girls’ aunt told the Chronicle their hands were “locked together” when they were found.

The government's Epstein problem
46 replies
None of us ever would have heard of Jeffrey Epstein had the government not brought him up. It was the government that brought charges against him. The government told us that he was “the most prolific child sex trafficker in history.” The government said he was “with intelligence.” The government cut him a sweetheart deal. The government was taken to court by “John Doe” over what the government called “client lists.” The government courts made a ruling about the “client lists” not being released. Senator Dick Durbin blocked the release of the “client list” in the legislative branch of the government. The government said it had “client lists” on its desk.
As lawmakers begin crafting the 12 annual appropriations bills to fund the federal government in fiscal year 2026, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has implied that his party will refuse to cooperate in the process if Republicans revoke billions in funding from previous years. The Senate is set to vote on a rescissions package that narrowly passed the House in June and would cancel already appropriated federal funds for public broadcasting and some foreign aid programs.
Republicans only need a majority vote for the legislation to pass. The Rescissions Act of 2025, compiled by the Office of Management and Budget, requests the cancellation of federal spending deemed wasteful

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that Congress has a “responsibility” to look into whether the Trump administration’s cuts to the National Weather Service affected the amount of deviation of the deadly central Texas floods.
Co-host Kate Bolduan said, “To is these deadly floods in Texas as these the search continues for the missing there are big questions being raised about the warnings that happened and the impacts also of cuts to — that the Trump administration had made to the National Weather Service.”

Justice Department says, walking back

Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” the Justice Department acknowledged Monday as it said no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public despite promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.The acknowledgment that the well-connected Epstein did not have a list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked represents a public walk-back of a theory that the Trump administration had helped promote, with Bondi suggesting in a Fox News interview earlier this year that such a document was “sitting on my desk” for review.
Six months after the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled $101 million in funding Tuesday for “multifamily low-income housing development” that will “contribute to a more equitable and resilient Los Angeles." The priority is for “geographic proximity to the fire perimeters of the Eaton, Hughes, and Palisades fires.” Earlier this year, The Center Square broke news that California state law and a local Los Angeles ordinance require fire-destroyed rent-protected housing — which includes all apartments in the city built before October 1978 — be replaced with low-income housing. Because the affordability requirements use county-level income data
Longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft and "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart bashed Paramount Global and CBS’ eight-figure settlement with President Donald Trump as giving into a "shakedown" on Monday.
Kroft appeared on Paramount-owned Comedy Central to discuss the settlement with Stewart, who didn’t pull punches when discussing his own employer. Kroft, who retired from the show in 2019 after a 30-year run, said his former colleagues are devastated that CBS and its parent company settled Trump’s "election interference" lawsuit.
"I think there is a lot of fear over there… fear of losing their job, fear of what’s happening to the country, fear of losing the First Amendment," Kroft said.
It’s no secret that Joe Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the United States Supreme Court because she is a black woman.* In other words, she was not chosen for her judicial acumen, but for her political identity. That goes a long way to explaining the absolutely lunatic dissent she issued to a Supreme Court order. That order stayed a California district court judge’s ruling blocking President Trump from ordering agency heads to produce plans for possible “Reductions in Force.”
The influencer 4xtra, who co-hosts the No Jumper podcast, asked his fanbase who wants to get blown up in a video that went viral on social media. He was seen carrying some unlit fireworks in the clip.
"Who wants to get blown up today," he said in the video.
"I’m going to blow your a– up! I’m blowing somebody up today.”
4Xtra was left injured following the fireworks accident, his sister Emily said in a GoFundMe page that has since been created. Emily paid tribute to her brother, whose real name is Resan.
“Resan is someone who lights up every room with his humor and energy,” she said.

The answer is this: The consumers of these goods and services are often relatively poor. Poor people are bad at both making money and spending money. They make too little of it and they spend too much of it – on things that are wasteful or even harmful to themselves and to society. Much of what they spend is on credit cards with 22% interest rates.

Current and former USAID and State Department officials are using their expertise in undermining authoritarian regimes abroad against President Donald Trump and his agenda at home, according to a new report Monday.The Trump administration is still in the process of terminating thousands of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) workers by September as the agency restructures to fall in line with the president's "America First" policy.
What happened to the Jeffrey Epstein case? It’s devolved into the unfinished horse meme. We were promised transparency, accountability, and the whole truth regarding the notorious sexual predator, alleged sex trafficker, and well-connected New York financier. Epstein was well acquainted with the world’s wealthy and influential families. In the summer of 2019, federal agents arrested him on sex trafficking charges. On August 10, 2019, he was found dead in his cell. [snip] It’s a perpetual cycle of being served a big plate of nothing, that started embarrassingly for the new Justice Department
The Trump administration clinched another win today, with the Supreme Court shredding a restraining order on a rogue lower court’s ruling that prevented the government from reorganizing its workforce. For now, the mass layoffs that were put on hold are back on (via The Hill):
The Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a judge’s order preventing the Trump administration from conducting mass layoffs across the federal bureaucracy, for now.
The court in its unsigned ruling said Trump’s February executive order directing federal agencies to prepare for reductions in force, or RIFs, is likely lawful.
It enables federal agencies to resume implementing Trump’s directive,
