Yes, but they are also crackpots.

“‘I had him inside here for three days, in this Louisiana facility, my baby dead in my stomach, inside my stomach for three days, dead,’ she said.”

imagine writing this completely uncritically as if it’s a normal thing for a government official to say

1 day apart

Only the best hired, based on merit, of course.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Richard is a metastatic cancer patient whose life could be saved by a custom cell therapy — one that is currently sitting unused in a freezer because of Trump's NIH cuts.
 Yet another example of the real impacts of the Trump Admin's attacks on science and our federal workforce.

I wrote about how Trump's BBB is going to decimate hospitals that serve Medicaid patients, especially in rural areas, even as Fox News personalities blame immigrants for "bankrupting" the health care system. Estimated 338 rural hospitals could close as a result of BBB. Latest for @mmfa.bsky.social

🚨New: “Trump Org Keeps Bringing In Foreign Workers To Staff Its Clubs And Winery” It’s sought to import 1,880 foreign workers since 2008, per Labor Dept. records—including 31 farm workers for its vineyard this year. me, for @forbes.com 1/

Which news outlet is actually informing its readers about what happened?

If there’s money for a parade, there’s money for Medicaid.

“It’s true that narcissism is associated with more impulsive, error-prone decision-making. But … [w]hether consciously or not, narcissists hold power by keeping others in a state of psychological whiplash.“ www.huffpost.com/entry/psycho...

NPR has identified three Trump administration officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a prominent Holocaust denier.

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild: 📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices 📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices 📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

President Trump, "We don't do much business with Canada" PM Mark Carney, "Canada is the largest client of the United States" Trump fact-checked in real time 👏

The Faces of Gun Violence exhibit at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) headquarters showed the portraits of 120 people killed in gun violence in the U.S.

For generations of Black workers, federal government jobs have provided a path into the middle class. The Trump administration's workforce cuts are now throwing that sense of stability up in the air.

This is human trafficking.

As others have noted, it’s truly wild to see Terry Doughty write this. He is one of the most extreme MAGA judges appointed in Trump’s first term, author of many wacky, hard-right rulings reversed on appeal. When even he is appalled by an illegal deportation—it’s a sign of something. Wow.

Although he never gained a majority of votes, Hitler consolidated his power and eliminated opposition through political maneuvering. He made all judges and lawyers swear an oath of loyalty to him. www.fedbar.org/wp-content/u...

Pete Hegseth just ordered the installation of a makeup studio at the Pentagon for him to prepare for his television appearances, which will cost thousands of taxpayer dollars to build.

Confirming per person familiar the existence of a second Signal group chat where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared information about Houthi strikes that included family, personal lawyer and aides who have since been fired for allegedly leaking classifieds

Remember when you were a kid, playing games with friends—there was always that one kid who tried to change the rules mid-game just to win… but still lost, and everyone knew they were cheating? That’s DOGE.

New in PN: White guy DEI "Pretending that Hegseth got nominated on merit is ridiculous, but it’s a fiction conservatives have all agreed to adopt. To admit he’s not qualified would mean acknowledging that straight white maleness does not automatically confer expertise."

All charter airlines should refuse to take people to El Salvador prisons All the people were sent there without due process- without the hearing everyone is entitled to.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

MAJOR SCOOP: The local detective who first accused Mr. Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-31 was suspended from the police force and indicted merely WEEKS LATER for providing confidential information to a sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

When Rubio announced the agreement with El Salvador in February he touted it as a way to outsourcing the federal prison system by allowing the US to send American citizen inmates there to serve their . This undercuts the Trump administration’s claim to the courts that it can’t get people back.
