The Trump admin has freed Jose Hernandez Reyes because he can testify against Abrego Garcia. Hernandez, who has been deported 5 times, has also been arrested for: —DUI w/ a handgun; —cocaine possession; —illegally transporting migrants; and —drunkenly firing a gun. Free link: wapo.st/40i4Ttt

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

The level of this man's narcissism is fucking breathtaking. It truly is.

The bad guys are in charge. Depraved.

The murderous dictators of US adversaries like me, the elected leaders of American allies hate me. That’s… not a good thing. Weird and sad how many Americans can’t tell the difference between manipulative flattery and real respect, or even prefer the former.

Just a reminder the mainstream news has all but memory holed this incredibly violent political assassination of a leader & her spouse, which was almost multiple political assassinations if the attacker had not been delayed by several Democratic reps not being home & 2 other people he shot surviving.

Susan Collins is “concerned”. “Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who has expressed concern throughout the process, said she would vote for the motion to proceed on the bill, but that she would be offering amendments that would be critical to getting her final vote.” prospect.org/politics/202...

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

A Trump supporter murdered a Democratic official, her husband, & her dog & tried to murder another Democratic official & his wife, & the media just let it go, even though he had a kill list with dozens of people on it.

Integrity. Honor. Decency. Compassion. There was a time when we had all of those traits in our President. Thank you Pres. Biden for taking the time to respect, recognize, and honor the incredible lives of Melissa and Mark Hortman, as well as their beloved Gilbert.

A handful? Nonsense. There have been zero real trade deals so far. Zero. A bandaid or two. One framework. No real deals.

This is the largest debt ceiling increase in U.S. history. So much for “fiscal responsibility.”

If you have to lie about the cost, it is probably a budget buster. Senate excludes trillions in debt to make Trump’s tax bill seem cheaper www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Americans are being gaslit into thinking rich people need a tax cut. Mainly because they don’t understand the tax system. No rich people are actually paying the marginal rate. And the marginal rate is BEFORE deductions.

As more call center workers are asked by strangers if they’re bots, surreal conversations are prompting introspection about what it means to be human.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

The president justified the [CLEAR VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW] by claiming that [WHICHEVER COUNTRY WHOSE CIVILIANS WE’RE CURRENTLY BLASTING TO SMITHEREENS] is [HARBORING / SPONSORING / SOMEHOW CONTRIBUTING TO TERRORISM], and is now an even greater threat.

Fetterman voted against the Kaine War Powers resolution, Rand joined the Democrats.

Katelyn Eames runs a peach farm in Texas, where temps routinely exceed 100 degrees. In all her years, no American has ever applied to work there: “If you think a US citizen wanted to pick my dad’s peaches in the last 60 years, you'd be sadly mistaken.” Free link: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

One thing I do appreciate about mediocre NYT and WaPo columnists is they make it much less likely for me to suffer imposter syndrome.
