ICE activity/raids
Hold the phone, y’all: A federal judge on Friday found that the Department of Homeland Security has been making stops and arrests in Los Angeles immigration raids without probable cause and ordered the department to stop detaining individuals based solely on race, spoken language or occupation. US District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, ordered that DHS must develop guidance for officers to determine “reasonable suspicion” outside of the apparent race or ethnicity of a person, the language they speak or their accent, “presence at a particular location” such as a bus stop or their occupation. Friday’s ruling comes after the ACLU of Southern California brought a case against the Trump administration last week on behalf of five people and immigration advocacy groups, alleging that DHS — which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement — has made unconstitutional arrests. Frimpong said in his order that the administration “failed” to provide information about the basis on which they made the arrests. “The Court therefore concludes that the Stop/Arrest Plaintiffs have sufficiently shown at this stage a likelihood of success on the question of whether the stops and arrests at issue have been based solely upon the enumerated factors,” Frimpong wrote. Frimpong also ordered DHS to maintain and provide documentation of arrests to plaintiffs’ counsel. CNN has reached out to DHS for comment.

I’ve always thought UT was far more B1G than Sec. Conference full of flagships, AAU members and good to great sports teams. What’s not to like?

Trump has sic’d. his DOJ on Comey and Brennan. I don’t understand why he’s not grateful to Comey for sabotaging Hillary’s campaign 11 days before the election. I’ll repeat for emphasis. Trump is irredeemably evil: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-brennan-comey-crooked-hell-amid-fbi-probe-may-have-to-pay-the-price Well, I know nothing about it other than what I read today," Trump said. "But I will tell you, I think they're very dishonest people. I think they're crooked as hell. And, maybe they have to pay a price for that." "I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people," the president added. "So whatever happens, happens." Justice Department sources told Fox News Digital that CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to FBI Director Kash Patel for potential prosecution. The sources said that Ratcliffe's referral was received and told Fox News Digital that a criminal investigation into Brennan was opened and is underway. DOJ sources declined to provide further details. It is unclear, at this point, if the investigation spans beyond his alleged false statements to Congress. As for Comey, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital that an investigation into the former director is underway, but could not share details of what specifically is being probed.

Hegseth & the Boys
This is the second time Whiskey Pete struck out on his own without telling Trump. I believe he thinks he can ignore Trump like the others in this regime and do as he pleases. He can’t, though, because even Trump, being unqualified himself, recognizes that weakness in others. Clearly Trump is not in control: https://kyivindependent.com/hegseth-reportedly-authorized-ukraine-weapons-shipment-pause-without-informing-white-house-06-2025/ Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth authorized a temporary halt to American weapons shipments to Ukraine early in July without notifying the White House, CNN reported on July 8, citing five undisclosed sources. The pause, approved on July 2, affected a package that included Patriot interceptor missiles, 155 mm artillery rounds, Hellfire missiles, Stinger and AIM air-to-air missiles, and other key munitions. Some of the weapons had already reached Poland and were en route to Kyiv when the shipment was stopped, according to NBC News.

Texas -- a failed state
How long before the UT system is swallowed up into this mess https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltnietzel/2025/06/27/public-universities-in-six-southern-states-form-new-accrediting-agency/ Public universities in six southern states have come together to create a new higher education accreditor that will offer an alternative to existing nationally recognized accrediting agenciesoverseeing the nation’s colleges and universities. The formation of the Commission for Public Higher Education was led by a consortium of public universities that includes Texas A&M University, the State University System of Florida, the University System of Georgia, the University of Tennessee System, the University of North Carolina System and the University of South Carolina System. The establishment of the new college accreditor comes partly in response to President Donald Trump’s long-standing and frequent attacks on accreditors and the accreditation process itself. All six of the consortium states voted for Trump in the last presidential election. “When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical Left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics,” Trump said in a July 2023 campaign video. “We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again and once and for all,” he added. That order also railed against accreditors setting standards for diversity, equity, and inclusion. And it called for “recognizing new accreditors to increase competition and accountability in promoting high-quality, high-value academic programs focused on student outcomes.” Public universities in those states are currently accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

Just checked and up until now their class was looking pretty pedestrian. Over the last couple of days they’ve picked up two 4s and a 5*. Now they appear to be leading for the services of the #9 player (OT) in next year’s class. Looks like that old high school coach is beginning to cook. Not sure any of this would be possible without Campbell’s obsession with offensive lines.

I get your point. Heard a discussion/debate earlier today on black Sirius on the worth of Hakeem Jeffries as Minority Leader. Some dismiss him because he takes money from AIPAC, while others see that as having nothing to do with how poorly he has managed his perception and with how little he done to energize the base. Until his position is seen as something other than a way raise monies from corporate interests, his potential as an effective leader of the Democrats will be unrealized. Those who believe who you take money from matters, have a point.
