Breaking @propublica.org: Bukele of El Salvador has become one of Trump’s favorite authoritarians, and Trump touts him as a foe of MS-13. But a US investigation has found evidence he has colluded with the gang, even paying it for votes. www.propublica.org/article/buke...

NEW: U.S. agents suspected Trump ally Bukele and some in his inner circle of diverting USAID funds to MS-13 leaders. Agents sought to review any U.S. bank accounts held by 15 Salvadoran political figures including Bukele, other senior officials and their relatives. @propublica.org

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

I’ve been begging Dem reps to adopt criminal framing for Trump and GOP actions. Because it’s clear, memorable, and has the benefit of being true. The president is a convicted criminal. He is out on bail. His EO’s are illegal. DOGE’s actions are illegal. ICE is kidnapping people.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Humiliated by China, Harvard, Elon Musk, and the federal courts, Trump has launched a war inside America on vulnerable people inside America. Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

You cannot go about your life thinking about ways to avoid making fascists angry. You will not succeed, and you will not be free.

I was not aware until @miriamwasser.bsky.social called me for comment on this earlier this week that ICE has been holding people for multiple nights in their Burlington (MA) New England HQ which (as pictured below) is located in a non-descript office park by the mall www.wbur.org/news/2025/06...

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

Note that this is specifically NOT about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This is about a DIFFERENT guy, a 19-year-old accused of being part of Tren de Aragua and sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act in violation of a separate court order.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people
