Summary

Jon Stewart slammed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for supporting a GOP funding bill after initially opposing it.

On The Daily Show, Stewart mocked Schumer for surrendering leverage without gaining anything in return, joking that he “got some cheese.”

He criticized Schumer’s strategy of waiting for Trump’s popularity to drop, calling it delusional.

Stewart argued Democrats avoid proposing real alternatives by pretending Republicans will compromise. He warned their approval rating is dangerously low, making their approach politically ineffective and out of touch.

Summary

Civil rights attorneys are raising alarms after 48 people arrested by ICE in New Mexico “disappeared” without information on their whereabouts or legal access.

The ACLU of New Mexico filed a federal complaint, calling it a human rights violation. Families are left in distress, unable to locate loved ones.

ICE’s detainee locator system is unreliable, making legal representation difficult.

Advocates demand transparency and oversight to prevent due process violations.

Summary

The Pentagon plans to cut 50,000 to 60,000 civilian employees—5% to 8% of its workforce—primarily through voluntary measures.

So far, 21,000 employees have been approved to resign under the Deferred Resignation Program, which allows them to remain on payroll until September 30.

The reduction also includes a hiring freeze and the dismissal of 5,400 probationary (new) employees, though a federal judge has temporarily blocked the terminations.

Officials stress military readiness will not be affected, but the Pentagon has not ruled out forced layoffs if voluntary cuts fall short.

I hate myself for making this, now you have to hate me too.

A federal judge blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order banning transgender people from military service

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington, D.C., ruled that Trump’s order to exclude transgender troops from military service likely violates their constitutional rights.

Plaintiffs’ attorneys contend Trump’s order violates transgender people’s rights to equal protection under the Fifth Amendment. Government lawyers argue that military officials have broad discretion to decide how to assign and deploy servicemembers without judicial interference.
