This is — and I cannot stress this enough — a real government website right now. It is hosted on the Department of Commerce website. The Department of Commerce has no immigration functions whatsoever that I am aware of. No, the President cannot sell green cards. Period.

Also, this seems notable: "US intelligence officials who have followed the Iranian program for years agree that Iranian scientists have been working to shorten the time it would take to manufacture a nuclear bomb, but they saw no huge breakthroughs." nytimes.com/2025/06/16/us/…

The Bank of Japan’s decision to hold interest rates and slow its withdrawal from the bond market was widely expected and should help reassure investors, though there will be plenty of interest in Governor Ueda’s press conference, analysts said. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

THIS is why oversight matters! Judy Chu confirms that ICE is holding people in terrible conditions; no change of clothes given in 10 days, filthy showers that aren’t being cleaned, and ICE preventing people from accessing phones where they could call their lawyers.

It’s nearly midnight here in Germany, but if the Senate is doing its job, I’m up. This will be one of the most consequential weeks in U.S. domestic politics. Thanks, PBS News for the live feed - necessary to an informed democracy. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
