Today, the Supreme Court green lights Trump’s order for mass firings across government agencies; President Bukele tells the UN that he doesn’t have constructive custody of the men sent to his torture prison; Senator Schumer is demanding an investigation into Trump Weather Service vacancies and their impact on disaster response failures in Texas; a militia descended on MacArthur Park in Los Angeles for no other reason than to scare people; the DoJ’s release of the Epstein jail video is missing a full minute; Elon’s AI Twitter bot GROK has been reprogrammed to be a Nazi; a federal court has struck down a Republican ballot law in Kansas as unconstitutional; a judge temporarily blocks Trump from cutting off Planned Parenthood funding. Dana is out and about!
