Will Trump's goons use soccer matches to meet grisly deportation goals? June 12, 2025 at 7:59 PM EDT Consider supporting my work so I can continue creating it: Substack: https://nickanderson.substack.com/ June 12, 2025 at 6:15 PM EDT During an immigration hearing on Thursday, Republican Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas pivoted into a bizarre attack on transgender rights. Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois, who was testifying at the time, quickly called Gill out and castigated him for engaging in a political stunt. House Republicans originally said the hearing would be about so-called sanctuary cities and asked Pritzker to testify alongside fellow Democratic Govs. Tim Walz of Minnesota and Kathy Hochul of New York. But then out of nowhere, Gill asked Pritzker, "Do you think that biological men should be able to use women's restrooms?" June 12, 2025 at 5:30 PM EDT President Donald Trump launched into yet another bizarre rant against windmills at the White House on Thursday, beginning with the claim, "The windmills are killing our country, by the way." It only got more bonkers from there. June 12, 2025 at 4:45 PM EDT President Donald Trump on Thursday admitted that his draconian immigration raids against farm, construction, and hospitality workers are hurting businesses, and said that changes to his mass-deportation agenda are coming. The announcement came in an otherwise incomprehensible Truth Social post, in which Trump couldn't figure out who to blame for how his own immigration policy is harming business. And he didn't say what changes are coming, only that some are. June 12, 2025 at 4:30 PM EDT Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, and""much like his embarrassing testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee the day before""it was rough. "Why is the national debt so very important that you're trying to kick 16 million people off their health insurance, but increasing the national debt doesn't seem to matter if you're cutting taxes for billionaires and billionaire corporations?" Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts asked Bessent, who dodged the question by trying to parse the number of people losing Medicaid. June 12, 2025 at 2:58 PM EDT California Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla was manhandled by what appeared to be a law enforcement officer on Thursday after he attempted to ask Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question at a news conference. Video shows two men, one of whom appeared to be wearing a law enforcement badge, forcibly pushing Padilla out of the news conference where Noem was defending President Donald Trump's use of the military to quell protests in Los Angeles against the administration's ruthless deportation campaign. June 12, 2025 at 11:30 AM EDT Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky has finally lost respect for President Donald Trump""but not for any of the reasons you may think. It's not because Trump is a convicted felon, nor because of his corrupt cryptocurrency dealings, nor the fact that he's deploying the military to police civilians, nor that he's ignoring the rule of law to punish his perceived enemies. June 12, 2025 at 10:30 AM EDT President Donald Trump and his administration are continuing to attack and undermine higher education""and higher education keeps fighting back. This time, the entire board that oversees the U.S. State Department's Fulbright Program has resigned in protest of Trump's meddling with and delaying the scholarships they give out to top American college seniors, graduate students, young professionals, and foreign students. June 12, 2025 at 9:30 AM EDT The FIFA Club World Cup begins on Saturday, with 32 soccer teams competing in 12 locations across the country in matches that will last nearly a month. That should feel like a terrific lead-in to the 2026 World Cup, which the United States will host along with Canada and Mexico. Instead, the Trump administration is using the tournament as another opportunity to terrorize immigrants. On Tuesday, Customs and Border Patrol posted on social media that CPB agents would be acting as security for Saturday's opening match in Miami at the Hard Rock Stadium. June 12, 2025 at 9:00 AM EDT By Julie Appleby for KFF Health News Major changes could be in store for the more than 24 million people with health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, including how and when they can enroll, the paperwork required, and, crucially, the premiums they pay.
