Thursday was a catastrophic day at the Court for immigrant rights. In two separate rulings, the justices cleared the way for Trump to allow border guards to physically block asylum seekers from reaching U.S. soil, saying they have no legal right to seek safety in the United States. In addition, they allowed the administration to strip Temporary Protected Status from hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians whose home countries remain unsafe.

Justice Sotomayor delivered a blistering oral dissent, warning that the consequences — including deaths — are entirely predictable.

Justice Kagan went further, putting Trump's own racist statements about Haitians into the official record, noting that even his own lawyers "cannot even bear to repeat" them. Lawmakers and advocates accused the conservative majority of advancing a white-supremacist agenda.

Trump is running a multi-front voter suppression operation. The courts keep blocking it, but he is not letting up.

A federal judge blocked much of Trump's executive order targeting mail-in voting, siding with a coalition of Democratic-led states. That was a genuine win. But here is the catch: Trump's own Postmaster General has admitted on the record that the USPS would not mail absentee ballots under the new rule. And ICE agents reportedly confronted a poll worker on Election Day over an Instagram post, threatening her at her workplace.

The administration's election interference apparatus is not waiting for legal cover — it is building the infrastructure now and flying in the face of legality.

Are Democrats finally starting to pay attention after this week’s primaries?

Senate Democrats introduced legislation to raise the federal minimum wage to $25 an hour, a number that would represent the most aggressive federal wage floor in American history.

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 an hour for 17 years. Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal introduced a bill Thursday that would more than triple it — affecting an estimated 66 million workers who currently earn less than that.

The move is explicitly timed to the midterms — a deliberate attempt to put Republicans on record against a raise that two-thirds of Americans consistently support in polling.

Will it pass? Not while Republicans control Congress. But that's partly the point — Democrats are forcing Republicans to vote against a raise for 66 million workers heading into the midterms, while 60% of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy.

"There is no reason that somebody should go to work full time in this country and not be able to pay their bills," Murphy said Thursday outside the Capitol.

Democrats are finally running on the economy like they mean it. Whether leadership follows through is a different question.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani just made history — and delivered on a major campaign promise. The Rent Guidelines Board voted 7-1 to freeze rents on roughly 1 million rent-stabilized apartments, covering about 2 million tenants — the first-ever freeze on two-year leases in the city's history.

The freeze takes effect for leases signed starting in October, and it came over loud landlord objections that the move would hurt their bottom line. One landlord representative resigned in protest before the vote even happened, claiming the outcome was "predetermined."

It caps a week where Mamdani's endorsed candidates swept three congressional races and several state legislative contests, cementing his standing as the most powerful force in the Democratic Party right now.

Landlord groups are already floating a lawsuit. But for the 2 million working-class tenants who will see their rents frozen this fall, the legal threat is someone else's problem to fight.

Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries is downplaying the socialist primary wins in New York, but analysts aren’t letting him.

Speaking at the Nixon presidential library Thursday, JD Vance said Watergate would have been "a 12-hour news story" today — and definitely wouldn't have taken down a presidency.

He’s probably right — but only because what Trump is doing makes Watergate look like child’s play.

Vance called Nixon a "political genius" and drew a straight line between Watergate and Trump's two impeachments, claiming the same "deep state" forces took down both men.

Then Vance listed the traits he shares with Nixon: "Young senator. Vice-president. Writes some bestselling books. Is hated by the media."

He left "resigned in disgrace" off the list.
