"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Gross. From an authoritarian schmuck who didn't serve.

This was expected but still incredible. The Senate Banking Committee is zeroing out the funding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the big beautiful bill. This will produce a budget savings of $0.00 and should therefore be easily tossed by the parliamentarian. đź§µ

Bondi again in Abrego Garcia press conference added all these scurrilous details, not in the indictment. Positively outrageous.

DOJ as we have known it, as a place where prosecutors from the AG on down do the right thing, for the right reason, in the right way, is over.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

When a senior career federal prosecutor resigns over concern that "the case was being pursued for political reasons," take it seriously. This used to be extremely rare. In this Administration, it's become a devastating pattern. See also, e.g., Eric Adams resignations. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

Heartwrenching.

ABC reports Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being returned to the United States abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

Day 56. 🇺🇸

Trump's culture wars and public spats with his former billionaire buddy provide cover for the most corrupt and self-dealing presidential administration in American history.

“.. after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.” 🤡 @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Never underestimate this administration's keen ability to sow chaos and no doubt the latest EMTALA "guidance" will have a negative effect on doctors and patients all across the U.S. Via @themeteor.bsky.social wearethemeteor.com/trump-admins...

JD Vance is so obtuse that he only sits at 91 degrees.

Sounds like a job for “Too Late” Powell. 🤡

Jesus.

This is not a denial

Was I wrong?

Dean: When did we have a trade surplus? Lutnick: About 100 years ago Dean: It was the Great Depression.

“Ontario baby dies after being born prematurely with measles” We should all be outraged by the lack of rigorous guidance. To hell with the stupid politics to pretend all is fine. It’s not fine! Measles is airborne. Vaccinate, respirator/N95, clean air, ventilation globalnews.ca/news/1121470...

Navalny Widow and @rsf.org Launch TV Channel To Fight Russia Censorship “There's virtually no way to significantly penetrate the traditional television space in Russia except by satellite.” 👏 👏 👏

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

A very sobering reality as the Trump vs. Musk fight spirals.

Here’s what we know so far about Trump’s BILLION DOLLARS worth of pardons. By: Elizabeth Oyer

It's understandable to focus on what Musk might lose now that he has gone to war against Trump. But never forget just how much he *got* from his time in DC www.platformer.news/musk-trump-f...

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

We are living in dangerous authoritarian times.

Ah, the golden age.

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre? McMahon: I’d have to get back to you Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

DeLauro uses her opening statement to tear Russ Vought a new one

It's important to challenge this in the courts. It's also important to understand that Trump engages in performative behavior when he wants you to ignore something else he's doing. Don't look away.

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification for the people held at CECOT and gives the government ONE WEEK to explain how they're going to facilitate due process for EVERYONE sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Totally not fascist.

Not knowing about things doesn’t mean they’re not happening.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

1/ New in the Abrego Garcia case, the Judge has just granted his lawyers' request for permission to file sanctions against the government, which is very unusual.
