I thought you could all use a TL cleanse during these trying times. So here ya go.

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.

Just ran straight from the Bernie / AOC rally (actually had to miss some of Bernie!) to my 18 month oncology check up annnnnd STILL CANCER FREE!!

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

Judge James Boasberg has got that kind of "You're no different than anyone else, MF's!" mojo that every judge before him should have demonstrated over the years...but didn't. Those judges all dropped the ball...HARD. Boasberg, he's like, "Yeah...fuck it. Let's play ball."

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

This is so relatable

Not a shitpost or some random conspiracy on a 4chan website. These are things that have been said.

Oh sorry, you DIDN'T want a backlit baby killdeer scampering across your timeline? Sorry. I'll tell the bird they're unwanted here. They'll be so sad. But it's fine. What really matters is you. No no. I'll tell them they're too smol and "low resolution" They'll understand. #birds 🐣

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

When *political beliefs* alone trigger suspicion, and dissent is treated as a threat, we inch dangerously close to *a surveillance state*—no different from the *Soviet KGB*, where ideology mattered more than innocence. # Mohsen Mahdawi

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Jon Stewart has a message for his Bluesky critics: 'My bad'

“Virtually every day now we see government lawyers, acting on Ms. Bondi’s behalf, gaslighting and stonewalling federal judges from coast to coast. … “Brad Bondi isn’t the right person to lead the DC Bar at this time. Not now. Not at this extroardinarily perilous moment for our legal system.”

What is Superman's favorite pitch location? Up and away! I'll get my hat. #MondayMadness

OMFG #LGM

Senator Chris Van Hollen has requested an urgent meeting with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador to address the situation involving Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was “mistakenly”deported from the United States to a prison in El Salvador.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that some of the programs and workers purged in last week's dramatic restructuring plan to shed 20,000 staffers will be reinstated, saying they were mistakenly cut. Another example of how this inept cabinet of sewer clowns are clueless

A SF is OK there. Get one out, set up a DP. #LGM

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The #Mets have allowed 41 runs so far. The Padres have allowed 43. Next lowest? The Reds with 51. #LGM

I guarantee you: two weeks from now, Juan Soto doesn't swing at that pitch.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Water sausage swimming lessons.

Whoever did this—buy them a drink. ☠️🤣

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Everything is breathtakingly stupid

Today in history … 1964: Sidney Poitier wins the Academy Award and became the first African American to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, for his performance in "Lilies of the Field".

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.
