It’s not Zelensky’s war or Biden’s war or Trump’s war. It is Putin’s war. Why can’t Trump simply say that? Why is he obsessed with blaming everyone else? It is a simple and obvious truth that should be stated with moral clarity. But the US president is a liar and a coward.

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Come for the laughs over the absurdity. Stay for the righteous indignation and horror over what this country is doing. Thanks @timmiller.bsky.social for always striking the right balance and keeping us engaged.

My personal sadness is small, contained, fleeting. My civic sadness is massive, untethered, constant.

Due process rights are fundamental to our nation–Trump taking them away from one person, is a threat to every one.

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause. “For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” “For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

Again… Impeach. Convict. Remove.

The president is conducting a press event with the primary purpose of flouting the decisions of the courts and the letter and spirit of U.S. law. It is a press event to celebrate the Constitutional crisis and serial violation of human rights he has set in motion.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

BRING HIM HOME

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

This is basically conceding that the executive branch is sentencing random people to death with no due process or ability to reverse an error

The president is saying that once the administration gets people outside our borders it can do anything to them—including torture and death—and they can’t be stopped or held accountable.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Day 4 of the Supreme Court of the United States struggling with this sentence.

“UNCONSCIONABLE”

“The irreparable harm in this case is the harm being done to Abrego Garcia every minute he is in El Salvador.”

What a sentence: "Contrary to the government's position, 'upholding constitutional rights surely serves the public interest.'"

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

Message sent to my Representatives: What is the Congressman doing to bring home the migrants that the Trump administration sent to El Salvador with no due process? They haven't been convicted of any crime and are now subject to human rights violations. It is unAmerican and inhumane to do this.

“Alien Enemies Act says you can kick them out of the country. Under what legal basis does it say you can disappear them to a prison for forced labor in another country?” Thank you Adrian Carrasquillo @thebulwark.bsky.social. This is so infuriating and unAmerican! youtube.com/watch?v=tEXM...

We are going to be destroyed by the stupidest people on Earth.

🔥 PETE ON HEGSETH-GATE: “An epic fuck-up… these are not serious people… if there are no consequences, all the bluster from Trump about merit was bullshit… we deserve so much better…”

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

On @CNN.com this afternoon with Brianna Keilar and Boris Sanchez discussing stunning story about administration Signal security breach. youtu.be/BZdIIboc1GQ

SecDef Hegseth once said: “Any security professional would be fired on the spot and prosecuted for this kind of reckless conduct.” Today, he’s the one endangering national security. By his own standard, he should be gone.
