“[Biden] was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.” Leave this man alone. He gave it all and deserves to get treatment in peace without Tapper and others dragging his name through bullshit. apnews.com/article/bide...

from @propublica.org: State Department officials campaigned to force Gambia to license Starlink, even threatening to cancel development projects. US diplomats now work on behalf of Elon Musk? www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Trump is surrounded by idiots and “yes” men.

Yep. Core to this administration is the belief by nearly all the people currently running the throne that expertise is inherently suspicious and that they can simply run things better themselves if they don't have any pesky nerds around to question them and push back on their first instincts.

Another innocent man without due process. Being sent to what’s essentially a concentration camp to die. “Adrián, 27, came to the United States in 2023 by appointment through the CBP One app.” His brother has proof of this appt and it still doesn’t matter. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

If sharing an attack plan on Signal with your wife and brother isn’t a fireable offense, what is?

Another horrifying arrest for speech acts, race and religion, with the pretexts of a misdemeanor graffiti charge and a dismissed arrest at a George Floyd protest. The victim is a hospital worker with a green card, married to an American citizen. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

19 years old. “Gutiérrez has no criminal record either in Venezuela or the US, his family said. He also did not have any tattoos, which is a feature that US law enforcement often use to link people to the Tren de Aragua gang…and to justify their expulsions from the country.”

Just to remind everyone: this is *our* fucking money--locally raised tax dollars--that Congress simply won't let our government spend, for no reason other than spite. This is why DC needs statehood. But also, this is just petty, petty bullshit by House Republican leadership.

“Home-growns”mean any of us. And with no guarantee of due process and administrative incompetence, this could be life sentences in El Salvador for any of us.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.
