Though his name did not appear in Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u2019s (ICE\u2019s) online death records<\/a> by the time this article was published, Artmeladze was reported<\/a> as the 50th person to die in ICE custody since President Donald Trump returned to office. One of two recent deaths at a notorious immigration prison in Louisiana, Artmeladze\u2019s death is one of the latest signs that the president\u2019s mass deportation campaign has predictably created a human rights crisis inside a sprawling system of immigration jails and camps.<\/p>\nAt least 51 people have died while in ICE custody since Trump began his second term, federal records<\/a> show. …

Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – June 23, 2026<\/a><\/h2>\n…
\nThe Reflecting Pool is not the only thing that\u2019s falling apart.<\/p>\n
This morning, Trump announced that \u201cIran has fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long in the future (Infinity!!!)…. If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations!\u201d Iran disagreed, saying it had made \u201cno new commitments\u201d on nuclear inspections although it would continue to work with the IAEA, the United Nations\u2019 nuclear watchdog agency, as it has for years under a system less stringent than the one that operated under the JCPOA.
\n…<\/p>\n
William Kristol of The Bulwark<\/em> noted today that a \u201csense of impending mortality seems to be making our president even more unhinged than ever.\u201d But, Kristol noted, there are \u201cyoung men with a lean and hungry look in positions of authority and power in the executive branch who are committed to making his dream of power without limits a reality.\u201d
\n…<\/p>\nToday, U.S. District Judge Reed O\u2019Connor sentenced eight of the Prairieland protesters to between thirty and one hundred years in prison.<\/p>\n
In contrast, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes were sentenced to 22 years and 18 years in prison, respectively, for their roles in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol that was intended to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and make Donald Trump president. When he took office in 2025, Trump pardoned Tarrio and commuted Rhodes\u2019s sentence to time served, releasing both men from prison.

Jennifer Rubin: MAGA pols and dark money groups have no business defining who is \u2018pro-Israel\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\nRightwing Christian Evangelists, including those who have yearned for a 21st century Crusader and Islamophobe like Pete Hegseth to lead the Pentagon, have argued that criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government is effectively \u201canti-Israel\u201d \u2014 or worse, if you are said to be holding Israel to a higher\/double standard than other nations, \u201canti-Semitic.\u201d This has fed MAGA partisan claptrap that, since only the Republican Party extends unconditional support for Netanyahu\u2019s coalition government, no matter how reprehensible their conduct, it is the only \u201cpro-Israel\u201d American political party.<\/p>\n
The specious reasoning that you cannot criticize Israel\u2019s current government and still be \u201cpro-Israel\u201d would be debunked under ordinary circumstances. But now the Republicans are in a fix: Donald Trump, humiliated by his widely panned deal, has not only agreed to a deal infinitely weaker than the JCPOA<\/a>, but has also railed at the Netanyahu government<\/a> in terms no Democrat administration would ever have dared utter. Surely, Trump and his Republican flunkies shouldn\u2019t be able to retain the pretense that they are \u201cpro-Israel<\/strong><\/em>\u201d? Here is where it gets interesting.<\/p>\nUnder unceasing criticism<\/a> for its lousy Iran deal, Trump went from saying U.S. Jews should get their \u201cheads examined\u201d and were \u201cdisloyal\u201d if they did not back him to denouncing Netanyahu as \u201ccrazy\u201d<\/a> in persisting with attacks on Lebanon while peace talks continued. Trump, who routinely excoriated<\/a> former President Barack Obama for criticizing Netanyahu, effectively told Netanyahu to shut up and do what he is told.<\/p>\nAt the G-7, Trump went even further …
