Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

They’ll pressure a NATO ally to release a sex trafficker and racketeer but they won’t pressure a tiny dictatorship to return a man it’s holding on our behalf, who they admit they sent there by accident

Can’t help but feel that if President Bernie Sanders pulled this move the entirety of American business would try to get him pushed out of office immediately.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

Imagine you're a Republican. You control the House, Senate & White House. You spent 9 weeks sucking up to Elon Musk and gutting vital programs. Your "mandate," you said. You draft a budget alone, without Democrats. Everyone hates it. Your own party can't pass it. And now it's Democrats' fault? 🤡

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it. When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him. Not without a fight. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

This is an attack on Medicaid, and anyone who votes on this budget this week is voting to cut Medicaid in America, and voting to gut healthcare for Medicare recipients in America.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty. The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean. Sucks for Kentucky and California.

Baldwin: "Trump a little over a week ago said on Fox News, 'I'm not touching Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.' And he said it multiple times. The next morning he endorsed the Republican House budget which calls for nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid."
