Trump-appointed judge does the right thing, and DOGE damage lives on

Injustice for All  is a weekly series about how the Trump administration is trying to weaponize the justice system""and the people who are fighting back.

Why couldn't DOGE stop the Russians from getting all our court data?

Last week, Politico broke the news that the federal court filing system had been the subject of a massive hack. That's a big problem, because while many court filings are public, the filing system also houses sealed documents, such as information about confidential criminal informants. There's no question that the court filing system is susceptible to breaches. It was breached in 2020, though not at this scale.

Clips of the week: Texas Democrat outfoxes, and RFK Jr. gets roasted

President Donald Trump launched a militarized assault on Washington, pushing the lie that it and other Democratic-led cities are lawless dystopias in need of his intervention. Meanwhile, Texas Republicans are trying to rig the 2026 midterm election by redrawing congressional maps.  And it's all on video!

Nebraska is getting what it voted for

Every day brings fresh horrors from the Trump administration, and nothing comforts like the knowledge that Donald Trump's supporters are paying the price. In my Jan. 26 article, "Nebraska went big for Trump""and that may kill its economy," I warned that Nebraska's reliance on federal programs and its immigrant labor force made it uniquely vulnerable under Trump's policies. Turns out, I was right. A quarter later, Nebraska's gross domestic product has shrunken more than 6% in early 2025, tying it with equally Trumpy Iowa for the worst drop in the nation. That statistic hit the headlines over a month ago, but what's new is that Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins just had to face Nebraskans living through the fallout.

Caribbean Matters: How to support Haitians fighting deportation from the US

Caribbean Matters is a weekly series from Daily Kos. Hope you'll join us here every Saturday. If you are unfamiliar with the region, check out Caribbean Matters: Getting to know the countries of the Caribbean . While much of the media's focus around Immigrations and Customs Enforcement raids and deportations has been on our current government's obsession with ridding this country of Latinos, it's important to remember that the Haitian community continues to to be one of the most vilified groups. Many of these community members are Black and here under Temporary Protected Status. By now we are all aware of how a certain orange person in DC feels about Black folks.

This far-right influencer is too crazy even for Trump

Far-right influencer Candace Owens has gone down a rabbit hole so deep that you nearly expect her to pop up in Australia. In fact, it's so deep that reportedly even President Donald Trump told her to back off. For years now, Owens has been consumed by a singular fixation: to persuade the world that Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, is secretly a man.
