But sure, meritocracy. Got it.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

"In a Wednesday order, Boasberg gave the govt. a deadline of 04/23 either to comply with his initial order and thereby purge the contempt or, alternatively, identify members of the administration who should be subject to individual sanctions for their role." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/boasber...

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Breaking news: Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said Monday that he did not plan to return Kilmar Abrego García to the United States, the man at the center of an ongoing court battle after the U.S. government wrongly deported him to El Salvador.

Trump is openly establishing precedent in his press conference for deporting US citizens who "break the law," not only those seeking asylum, to prison in El Salvador. He wants El Salvador's president to build more internment camps. And of course these fascists are refusing to return Abrego Garcia.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

We cannot abandon this young man- a gay makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison, by a disgraced former Milwaukee cop with major credibility issues He is Andry Hernández Romero. God knows what will happen to him. Call your representatives. Call the WH. We care

Don't overlook this: Trump is leaving Abrego Garcia to rot in a foreign gulag even though the admin can always bring him back and *retry him for deportation in a lawful way.* That they won't do this shows their case against him is nonsense. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1939...

Imagine being so ruthless that you would admit to deporting someone mistakenly to one of the worst prisons in the western hemisphere and then argue and appeal that you have no obligation to bring back that person back.

When the clown becomes king, the palace becomes a circus.

"In 2019, a judge issued an order prohibiting the government from deporting Kilmar to El Salvador based on risk of persecution. That order still stands. In an act they now refer to as an “administrative error”, ICE ignored that court order, and disappeared him into a notorious Salvadoran prison."

Judge James Boasberg the Leftist 🤣😂😆: In September 2002, Boasberg became an assoc. judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, appt. by George W. Bush. He served in the civil and criminal divisions, and the domestic violence branch, until his appointment to the federal bench in 2011.

DOGE staffer ‘Big Balls’ helped cybercrime group. One of the most prominent members of Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) team once supported a cybercrime group that boasted about trafficking stolen data and stalking an FBI agent.

Signal is "NOT authorized to access, transmit, process non-public DoD information." Sharing such operational plans requires communication on secure channels from secure locations. Signal operates on individual phones, allowing for national spying using phone-cracking apps and simple phone theft.

LoL 😂

There it is

But the Democratic leadership will surrender as usual.

Budapest taking it to the streets. Meanwhile, the US has Chuck and the Neoliberal Collaborators.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio. I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’. 😡
