Trump's grandfather said he only came to the US to avoid compulsory military service in Germany. Dodging the draft is a tradition within the Trump family.

The Trump administration is trying to save face by charging Kilmar Abrego Garcia with illegally transporting undocumented migrants, even though at the time he was deported, Abrego García was not under investigation and hadn't been charged with any crime. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

The Trump administration is considering deploying the National Guard for immigration enforcement, including for “night operations” or to target unaccompanied immigrant children. This move would be unprecedented, dangerous, and put all our rights at risk.

BREAKING: The GOP has declared war on seniors. Mike Collins (R-GA) says the next plan is to end Social Security and force the elderly back to work. You paid in your whole life. Now they’re robbing you on camera.

The really important thing in ABC News' report is that the US attorney handling the matter submitted his resignation as the indictment of Abrego Garcia went forward, indicating that something seriously unethical has occurred... again. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

Only the best . . . A former federal inmate who was pardoned by First Felon Trump in his first term for drug trafficking crimes has been tapped as deputy director of the federal Bureau of Prisons. The BOP has never had a formerly incarcerated inmate work as an employee at any level.

When the administration tries to use these charges to say that his deportation was always justified, keep this in mind—they didn't even open the investigation until weeks after he was deported to be jailed in the CECOT prison

Imagine an America where healthcare is guaranteed. Medicaid helps working families thrive – but MAGA Republicans want to take it away to pay for billionaire tax breaks.

Deporting people for being criminals and then, for the first time, criminally charging them because time is apparently not linear.

Ok fine a billion dollars over just a few months may seem like a lot but when the president provides the sun; the moon, the stars, and allows you to feel the awesome wellspring of happiness that only he can provide through his eternal benevolence and maximal holiness, how do you put a price on that

"The decision to pursue the indictment against Abrego Garcia led to the abrupt departure of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Tennessee...Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons, the sources said."

You know the air marshals that fly under cover on planes to keep us safe? Trump just killed that program.

A billionaire who profits off the presidency is feuding with another billionaire who bought access to the government to line his own pockets. Neither should have ever been able to amass so much power. What we're witnessing is a failed experiment in billionaire governance.

I've finished the Foundation Trilogy and I'm afraid I found it terrible nonsense. In a sense it *has* to be unimaginative, because 'psychohistory' -the assumption of predictable courses of history -relies on everything remaining familiar for aeons. So: space battles, admirals, lords, factions etc
