IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

JUNE 4TH

At the behest of the head of our Department of Defense, the list of recognized religions has been completely slashed.

'The new list will provide chaplains with clear, readily available information that will better enable them to anticipate the religious support needs of service members...'

Defense Secretary Hegseth previously announced the change due to an "impractical" system.

Of course the final vote was in the wee hours of this morning. If things escalate again like they did in Minneapolis we will definitely know who to blame.

The Senate passed legislation to fund President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agencies early Friday morning, after weeks of delays and fierce backlash to an unrelated $1.776 billion settlement fund that threatened to derail the bill.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

Playing around in the politics of our geographic neighbors could spell disaster for US economic and drug policies. Mexico views our drug interdiction policy actions as aggressive extraterritorial overreach by a foreign superpower trying to police Mexican soil and dictate its internal governance. The U.S. needs to handle situations like this much more professionally because operating without another country’s knowledge and then suddenly requesting the arrest of one of their governors is the kind of thing that can create serious tensions between nations. Tension that could cost Americans even more at the grocery store.

Looks like another system methodically being gutted like the Department of Education. Through these policy changes it becomes essentially deportation by default for those who are not affluent enough. Removing safeguards to the system does not make our borders safer or filter out bad actors, it just means everyone who goes through the process is guaranteed to have a certain amount of wealth/influence.

The regulation, described in internal documents obtained by CBS News, would be the latest effort by President Trump's White House to tighten access to the U.S. asylum system.

"Under strict speech limits, the public and local legal communities lose access to the individuals with the deepest front-row insights into how the system functions. Unfortunately this leaves immigrants, their families, and immigration lawyers cut off from vital resources for navigating these shifting waters moving forward. In this current landscape, policies are changing at a rapid pace. Without insight into how judges interpret changing policies, we begin a dark age in immigration courts nationwide."

-Dr. Deidric Tupper

The U.S. Supreme Court sided on Tuesday with President Donald Trump's administration in a dispute involving a free-speech challenge by federal immigration judges to a U.S. government policy restricting what they can publicly say about ​immigration.
