I call BS - you get two hours tops

Statement from California Governor Gavin Newsom:

💯

After the Las Vegas mass shooting Donald Trump promised to ban “bump stocks” because that shooter used the device-which “turn[s] legal weapons into illegal machine guns.” Now his administration just agreed to approve a different mechanism which basically does the same thing

In the past 36 hours: -USA Credit rating has dropped -Trump has threatened Springsteen, Swift, SCOTUS, and Walmart -Trump has rattled on about groceries -Tornadoes have devastated parts of the US no longer covered by NWS …and I’m supposed to care about Joe Biden’s mental acuity in 2023? GTFOH

NEW: Nice Democracy you have here… The Trump Admin has a pressure campaign to help Elon Musk’s biz. In Gambia, officials got a veiled threat of losing U.S. govt funding. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Putin has a Trump mat on his front porch.

There was a literal episode of the Handmaid’s Tale about this and it’s happening in real life 😳😳😳 This is wrong on so many levels and I cannot even imagine what her family is going through 💔💔💔💔

“In an unusual scene, vehicles in the U.S. that are heading north to Canada through the Peace Arch and Pacific Highway crossings are sometimes being stopped by U.S. border patrol before they leave the country and arrive at Canadian customs. In some cases, it has added hours to crossing times.”

MURPHY: You've read the SCOTUS decision. Does it not require you to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia? NOEM: The Trump admin is complying with all court orders M: You're a defendant in the case!... the discussion ends when SCOTUS rules 9-0... that is incredibly chilling for balance of powers

Also a valid point. The Library of Congress is in the legislative, not executive, branch.

My friend Pamela told me he had sharpshooters on the roof. Sharpshooters! In Orangburg NY!

900% increase in ICE budget proposal from the GOP. Going from $9 billion to $90 billion. $45 BILLION for detention facilities alone. But they’re cutting school lunches.

Trump either does not know that this obviously doctored photo of M S 1 3 on the knuckles is false, or he is insisting that something that is obviously false is in fact true:

On the one hand, green card holders have strong incentives to seeking citizenship if they are eligible. OTOH how many will not apply because they worry about any contact with the immigration system?

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

...and he's doing this with his party in control of both houses of congress www.ft.com/content/9d3e...

The man at left separated the mother and baby at right. The mother is now in Venezuela. Baby daughter, in foster care in the US, exact location unknown. Dad? He's in CECOT prison without trial — because he had tattoos.

Miller and Bondi think if they tell a lie enough times, it will become the truth. We can not and must not let this happen.

Wherever we wind up on the other side of this, I’m pretty sure that the textualist/originalist school of legal/constitutional interpretation needs to be met by a strong and robust “lol gimme a fuckin break, dude” school.

I just wrote: "Switching from ICE to DoD Custody: An Alarming Violation of Court Order on Deportations to El Salvador" Astonishing. Read ICE official's affidavit. ICE had the detainees in their custody before turning them over to DOD for transfer to torture in El Salvador. AFTER court issued TRO.

👇🏼

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Out of pure boredom while watching NHL playoffs tonight, I created this list of #WHL players in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

For people in the journalism business, and for people in general, *this* is the killer detail in latest Hegseth-dereliction-of-duty report: That *four* people on the call were willing to talk about it! Congrats to the reporters. And most obvious dead-man-walking of cabinet members perhaps ever.

THIS!!!!!!!!

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think what’s really concerning is that an idiot like Trump has been allowed to sabotage the global economy without anyone stepping in to say, “Whoa, Donald—what the heck are you doing?”

Pope Francis on JD Vance visit: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized, and migrants!”

Facts matter

fighting tears

The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

Anyone who knows me knows I advocate for students to explore careers in trades - but here’s the thing - to be successful in trades students need to be able to read, write and do high school level math and science - so why the revamp???

Trump, convicted on multiple felonies, pardoned domestic terrorists and white nationalist gang members involved in Jan 6th. Republicans want immigrants with no criminal records locked up while their violent criminals walk free. That’s white supremacy, not public safety.

In today's edition of "Not A Drag Queen!" patch.com/florida/brad...

Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide. That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

This

He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.

My “spidey-sense” is saying we should keep our eyes on this. www.reuters.com/world/us/top...

“.. The Canadian Association of University Teachers, which boasts a membership of 72,000 .. recommended in an advisory published Tuesday that “academic staff travel to the U.S. only if essential and necessary.” @politico.com #PariahState www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

They have no problem sending SWAT into schools to grab migrant kids, but when it’s an active shooter they use those children as human shields.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article
