Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Who did this?

Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967. Yes, trillion. On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024. We must ensure fair wages for all.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

WTF, Chuck?!

Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte was taken into custody on Tuesday after the Philippine government said it received an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for his arrest over his "war on drugs" that killed thousands during his term.

Guess who warned everyone?

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

SPINELESS WEAK PATHETIC IMPOTENT COWARD MARCO RUBIO — A MAN WHO SURRENDERED ALL INTEGRITY AND DIGNITY AND MORALITY AND VIRTUE AND VALUES AND MANHOOD TO SECURE A CABINET POSITION IN THE MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!!

As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?

Things are hotting up in the US - these words from retired General Mark Milley 👀

If you want to keep track of all of the agencies where Elon Musk has pursued mass staff forced-resignations and firings and how many employees have been affected so far, you need to bookmark this link: abcnews.go.com/US/agencies-...

"It's going to be an America you won't recognize." Kermit Roosevelt III warns how the country could transform if Republicans succeed with #Project2025. "The only way to take the Supreme Court back in the near term is court expansion." #Velshi www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

This is the guy that every single Republican in the Senate is going to act like is unacceptable ad Deputy FBI Director and then vote for after pussing out again. Dan Bongino is a fascist monster.

SUCK OFF THE ROBBER BARONS EXPERIENCE

Trump’s executive order shutting down DEI claims that recruiting diverse applicants “diminishes the importance of individual merit, aptitude, hard work, and determination.” Donald Trump’s war on DEI isn’t about merit.

“Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading.”https://open.substack.com/pub/politicususanews/p/fascism-expert-timothy-snyder-says?r=15fn05

Everyone needs to stop calling them billionaires & call them robber barons. billionaire has a neutral connotation to many, the definition of robber baron is 'a person who has become rich through ruthless and unscrupulous business practices', that's what they are and that's what you should call them.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

SMC 9, Zags 0 in Joe Few minutes SMC 32, Zags 31 in non Joe Few minutes Now you gotta make up a ten point deficit in the second half against this team 😑

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Fuck Marco Rubio.

Even MAGA can't keep up with Trump's lies.

Mark my words — Republicans are going to get absolutely DESTROYED in the 2026 House elections.

Never interfere with an opponent while they are in the process of destroying themselves. Trump is a sinking ship that will bring his allies to the ocean floor with him. youtu.be/P2CUFX9kUkM?...

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

This is also what she voted for

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you guys dragging yourselves around. Stop! Put AOC, Jasmine front and center give them the mic. Get Pete in the mix and we have the start of a great plan. Senate put Chris Murphy out there. Quit playing tiddly winks.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

Imprisoning journalists is fine when we do it

NOW: Trump administration begins firings of FAA air traffic control staff just weeks after fatal Washington DC plane crash. Staff at the Federal Aviation Administration receive emails saying they have been fired, upending rotas during period of busy air travel. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

If true this means DOGE still has access to Treasury's Payment System, because that's what FEMA uses to make payments. Of course, it might have been Treasury staff acting on Bessent's orders. Fed. Judge McConnell said FEMA could stop payments, but not "claw back." Wonder what NYC's bank says.🤔

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "
