Another judge just ordered govt to reveal its deal with Bukele to another alien sent to CECOT. A magistrate judge in Columbus, GA (MDGa) did so in the case of Venezuelan EDQC, sent to CECOT on 3/15 without opportunity to raise a fear-of-torture claim. 1/5 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

I just want people to recognize that we've spent years watching escalation in terms of state and law enforcement violence and so, right now, things are escalating in a hurry and it's not being entirely recognized even as it gets worse and worse almost by the hour.

Following up: while Jonathan Joss complained about years of homophobic abuse from his neighbors and his husband wrote that the murderer was screaming homophobic epithets, the San Antonio police says there’s “no evidence” of a hate crime. This is why so many queer folks don’t like cops at Pride.

Sooner or later these masked ICE Nazis are gonna roll up on the wrong neighborhood and it’s gonna get ugly….love the guy recording….that’s how you talk to these thugs!

Jonathan Joss was the victim of a violent, homophobic hate crime. This is why we have Pride Month and why we’ll only get louder and prouder. RIP Jonathan Joss

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

The negative effects of Trump's budget proposal will not discriminate based on partisan lines. The only demographic that will benefit is the billionaire class. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (@repjasmine.bsky.social‬) explains how this legislation cuts the everyday person off their support system

Tim Walz: Minnesota is a purple state. When we took full power in 2022, we had a one seat majority. And what I said then was, we don't win elections to bank political capital so we can run again and win again, we burn it as fast as we can to improve people's lives, every bit of it.

Or, we're all going to die. But some of you are going to die sooner because of these cuts. And my message is please stop whining about it because me and my top supporters just don't care about that.

“1 out of every 5 dollars in Medicaid is improper” 1 out of every 5 Americans uses Medicaid and it still costs the federal government half of what our defense budget does. The actual data shows <2% of Medicaid spending is considered improper, and the majority of that is not on the beneficiary side.

Continuing my walk down memory lane: Remember the time Justice Alito spoke with Trump by phone to ask a favor—hire a former law clerk— just as Trump's request that the Court prevent an NY state judge from sentencing him following conviction by jury was filed? joycevance.substack.com/p/the-final-...

With the degradation of the FBI and other national security institutions, we are sitting ducks for a major terrorist attack on U.S. soil. I gifted this article to you. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/u...

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

This should make us all mad as hell. Don’t think when politicians are allowed to do whatever they want that they won’t do whatever they want to any of us.

these agencies are straight up disappearing people and this democratic senator is having a chill hang with them jesus fucking christ

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

Let the leaking and backstabbing begin. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

This guy had an entire reality tv show whose premise was that he was really good at selecting people for their jobs.

New update 🤣💀

The Democrats want people to stop talking about Biden because Biden let Trump get away with it. Article: open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

New article! On the lost opportunities of the Biden years and why it's necessary to discuss them now: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-lost-v...

“You don’t have until 2024,” I said in 2021, after the Democrats won the House, Senate, and Presidency. “You have until 2022. You need to act now, while you have power and public approval. You can’t pretend crises will fix themselves. There is no moving on without accountability...”

Trump defends his wave of pardons by alleging a "weaponized Department of Justice" was out-of-control Former prosecutors note: The prosecutions of the pardoned Jan 6 rioters were launched...... during the final weeks of the first Trump Administration

Gonna give y'all some freebie headlines: MUSK DEPARTS, LEAVING TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION, DEFICITS, AND DEATHS MUSK SCORECARD: EMPTY PROMISES, FEDERAL WORKFORCE BRAIN DRAIN MUSK'S LEGACY: CAREER CIVIL SERVANTS REPLACED WITH INCOMPETENT WHITE NATIONALISTS DOGE HARMS WILL PERSIST FOR GENERATIONS

It’s now Marxist to understand that the Constitution only authorizes Congress to impose tariffs.

The notion that private institutions need to toe the party line is so fundamentally un-American it is almost unbelievable

Beginning to think he chose Bongino for the piggyback rides

if you were still hoping to die from bird flu, I've got some good news for you... HHS cancels nearly $600 million Moderna contract on vaccines for flu pandemics www.statnews.com/2025/05/28/m... via @statnews.com

I take the subway by myself multiple times literally every day and the most memorable things that have happened recently are that a very cute dog in a purple sweater was on my train car a few days ago and today a guy with a cane got on and literally four people immediately sprang up so he could sit

New NYC mayoral poll, May 23-26 for PIX11: pix11.com/news/politic... Andrew Cuomo - 35% Zohran Mamdani - 23% Brad Lander - 11% Scott Stringer - 9% Adrienne Adams - 8% Zellnor Myrie - 5%

Rubio's claim that cutting foreign aid didn't cost lives? Flat-out false. People are dying every day because of Rubio, Musk and Trump's dismantling of USAID — while China furthers its influence around the world. Shameful.

Looks like Trump sold a pardon for a million bucks. His corrupt pardons have mostly been ignored by the legacy media. The 3rd chapter of #RoughBeast covers this extensively & should make anyone with even a scintilla of belief in the rule of law nauseous. Time was, this was a bipartisan belief:

“[One] of our amazing grants that have been cut … looked into how … in the inner ear …neurotransmitters … help us hear. … It’s actually possible that the reason that got flagged early on is the word ‘neurotransmitter,’ because it has the word ‘trans’ in it.” h/t @Cathy2NotToday on X.com

There it is. Trump confirms what we've said all along - he's been protecting Putin this entire time.

By now it should be clear that the Trump administration intends to use the power of the state to crush every institution that stands in its way. There is no refuge in compliance. There will only be more demands, threats, and targets. We can sit and watch it happen. Or we can unite against it.

The cool thing about being president is that any time you want money, you can threaten tariffs, buy cheap stocks, then reverse the tariffs and collect your profit when stocks rebound.

The thing with replacing the rule of law with a mafia state is that it's not good for business even if it can be good for particular businesses at particular times; whether Silicon Valley elites will be able to see through their crushes on Donald Trump and figure this out, who knows

Other than self-dealing, where is the evidence that Trump is adept at making “deals”? This article describes his imperial/authoritarian fantasies, not his negotiating prowess. How does saying, “he wants to take Greenland from Denmark, annex Canada,” support the thesis that he is a master dealmaker?

Trump surrenders again while declaring victory.
