People shouldn’t be reporting this as “he returns to face charges.” They should be saying “Trump admin concedes it can bring people back from CECOT and tries some new shit against Abrego Garcia after the old shit didn’t stick.”

Pam Bondi is thug scum. The Attorney General making these comments about a defendant in a federal criminal case is lawless. This administration’s unethical hacks continue to demonstrate that they want to be deposits.

Well Elon, how many more innocent children have died today because of what you did to USAID? Maybe only a few hundred? A few thousand? It cost us 0.12 cents a day to treat an HIV infected child. Do you feel powerful? Do you care? How do you live with yourself?

Good for Gov. Walz, who refuses to throw marginalized children under the bus because it's a "difficult" topic. As a high school teacher and football coach, Coach Walz was the faculty sponsor for Mankato High School's Gay-Straught Alliance student club. Thank you Coach for this great example!

Centrist pundits claim activist "groups" push Dems into unpopular lefty immigration stances, like supporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return — and hurt them in the polls. But on Abrego Garcia, Trump is the one who lost support, not Dems. New data-driven piece:

Donald Trump just fulfilled another Project 2025 promise. He pulled guidance that protected doctors who provide abortions to save their patients’ lives. Let me be clear that in Illinois, you remain protected and can receive reproductive health care without fear of retribution.

Remembering when a coworker laughed at me and a few other women who were talking about having been at the first DC Women's March. He thought it was hilarious how we were overreacting.

Trump's a sundowning dementia sufferer, posting rage filled, incoherent and conspiratorial tweets deep into the night. Trump's angry rants are also announcements of U.S. government policy, making Trump's deteriorating medical condition an unreported national emergency, as @playtyperguy.com explains.

Even though America’s infrastructure is crumbling beneath our feet, Trump paused funding for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on Day One of his administration. Now, incredibly, he’s slapping his name on signs for jobs funded before his freeze and taking credit for progress... 1/2

Young Democrats are growingly frustrated with the party’s struggle to resonate with their peers, especially after Democrats hemorrhaged support from young voters, who either shifted toward President Donald Trump or sat out the November election altogether. cal.news/3ZMfCMf

I again sincerely appreciate Abughazaleh taking a hard line here and showing vastly more sense and political maturity, to say nothing of humanity, than a lot of supposed "allies" of Palestine.

When something like this happens, there's always a raft of "in any other administration this would be a historic scandal" responses. It's important to remember why this admin is different. It's not the media, and it's not (primarily) the admin itself. It's the congressional GOP. Period.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.
