The Daily Beans Art Is Resistance (feat. Ben Folds)
Wednesday, July 16th, 2025
Today, ICE declares millions of undocumented immigrants are ineligible for bond hearings; Republicans move to block the release of the Epstein files; Mike Waltz faces Senate grilling over the Signal chat scandal; Trump pushes an unconstitutional mid-decade redistricting bid for Texas in an effort to keep the House; the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club issues a blistering cease and desist to the Trump regime over unlicensed use of their music; a federal appeals court blocks Trump from stripping Afghan nationals of their temporary protected status; and Republican Rep James Comer used autopen to sign the subpoenas in his investigation into Biden’s use of the autopen. Allison and Dana deliver the good news.
