A terrible win for Trump

The Trump administration was within its rights to demand that the University of Pennsylvania turn over information about Jews on campus as part of a federal investigation into discrimination at the school, a federal judge decided Tuesday.

The government’s investigation had united Penn leaders with Jewish students and faculty members as they opposed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s subpoena. Many on campus drew parallels between the government’s approach and methods deployed in Nazi Germany.

No shit.

Trump's Nazis are saying they need the information to protect the Jews. And Judge Gerald J. Pappert allowed it. WTactualF?

For your own good, Jews

 

The courage to educate

 

Fucking Nazis

 

Jesus Christ, these people are running the country

 And this cretin is in charge of the military.

Christian naionalism is not Christian.  

We have a bunch of Nazis in charge.  

Trump's Gestapo

Straight up Nazi move by Kansas

 

I assume they will file a lawsuit.  And as soon as their licenses are reinstated, move to another state.

Changing tactics in Minneapolis

 They haven't backed away.  Just the opposite.

Heil Trump!

 Great use of taxpayer money.

They do that in North Korea, too.

So it's true, then.

As rumors fly about an affair between Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and adviser Corey Lewandowski, a new report alleges the pair have been traveling together in a luxury jet fitted with a private cabin, ostensibly meant for “high-profile deportations.”

Reports of the pair’s romantic relationship initially took off in the tabloids. Then in a New York magazine exposé published in September, one FEMA official called it the “worst-kept secret in D.C.”

[...]

Noem, 54, and Lewandowski, 52, are both married with children.

The two have denied the rumors, which have hounded them for years.

[...]

Recently, the two have been traveling across the country in a luxury 737 MAX jet, with a private cabin in back, people familiar with the matter told the Journal. Official documents reviewed by the newspaper show that the luxury plane, which staff jokingly call Noem’s “big, beautiful jet,” is earmarked for “high-profile deportations.”

[...]

Noem has had a turbulent history with planes during Trump’s second term.

Last year, she reportedly authorized the purchase of 10 Spirit Airline planes before realizing that the airline didn’t actually own the planes, and they also had no engines. In October, despite the then-ongoing government shutdown, the Trump administration bought two Gulfstream G700 jets for $172 million to be used by Noem and other leaders.

[...]

According to the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal’s report on what it called “constant chaos” within Noem’s department, President Donald Trump and his top advisers have long been uncomfortable with the pair’s relationship. Although Lewandowski wanted to serve as Noem’s chief of staff, Trump said no because of the affair rumors, according to the Journal. Officials told the newspaper that Trump continues to bring up the alleged affair.

Maybe now is a good time for him to fire Noem for her handling of DHS.

Definitely time to impeach Noem (and Trump).

 

Also, they had to rehire that pilot immediately, because he was the only person available qualified to fly the plane back home.

Christ.

Straight up Nazi

 

There's a lot here that's laughably dumb, even for someone as laughably dumb as the world's richest asshole – "Scotts" is a nice screwup, but the idea that the Irish were somehow a welcome part of the American origin story is hysterical – but I want to dig into the suggestion that a diverse nation is somehow inherently a weak nation, especially when it comes to war.

[...]

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has repeatedly pressed this white nationalist nonsense as well. The former Fox News morning show host has treated his public sector job as an extension of his private sector one, beginning his term by firing the African American general who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because he allegedly promoted diversity, making it a priority to get rid of programs he called "DEI," cutting celebrations of Black History Month and committing an array of other racist slights.

[...]

Elon Musk and Pete Hegseth, and many others like them in this racist regime, are arguing that "diversity" initiatives are a departure from the norms of American life in general and American military might in particular. But of course that's not true.

And now, they'll no longer get lotion.

Of course he was

They never intended to charge and keep him.   They meant to threaten and stress him - and anyone else who might follow him.

Liam is going home

 

The article says the judge told Conejo Ramos that they  could "return to their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation," adding it should be done "through a more orderly and humane policy than currently in place." But, they have applied for asylum and have a hearing later this month. I wonder if ICE will try to arrest the father again before then.

UPDATE 12:18 pm:  Home.

UPDATE 06:47 pm:  This very unfortunate error will fuck things up.  At least for a while.

UPDATE 02/01/2026:  Apparently the pleading date error didn't cause a problem.

The case of Don Lemon's illegal, unjustified arrest

Like other arrests of journalists and protesters, they have to know their success is unlikely.  They're doing this to intimidate others who might want to stand up to them.

UPDATE 02/03/2026:

Far afield of "we don't talk about ongoing cases."  Of course, they'll still use that excuse when it's some case that's bad for them.
