No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

I'm in this skeet and I don't like it

Bring ALL the people our government illegally renditioned to a foreign prison without habeas corpus. Not just one obviously innocent man. Bring them back for due process in THIS COUNTRY. That is the law.

Right?! The broligarchs think they are the first people on planet earth to crack basic concepts bc they couldn't be bothered with the humanities

This is insane

Yeah it's a problem

"But on the most generous reading, it means she somehow still doesn’t understand how Trump manipulates and exploits people." This is exactly it - it's been TEN years. We know who he is and how he operates. You're not compromising with him you're capitulating

I definitely don't want pics of this ghoul in my camera roll but for this I'll make an exception 😂

Trump signed a memo going after Chris Krebs. Krebs in 2020 pushed back against Trump’s claims that the election had been fraudulent and was adamant that the nation’s elections were not compromised. He did a wonderful job. The president, he’s evil.

The transformation of the GOP from “limited government conservatives” to “the president can do anything he wants and no Constitution, statute, Congress, court, state, or private institution can stop him” has been one heck of a ride.

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has released a statement on today’s passage of the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) in the U.S. House of Representatives: lnks.gd/2/32HnNqq

Always good advice but especially now

The SAVE Act requires everyone to register to vote ➡️ in person. ⬅️ • Voter registration drives? Gone. • Online reg? Nope. • Proof of citizenship = passport or birth certificate only. Name must match drivers license. • Already registered? You'll need to do it again. • No transportation? Too bad.

Politicians obsess about precisely where they stand on issues but voters tend to care more about *how* they make a stand.

Whatever fraud there is in Medicaid is largely on the provider side, not beneficiaries. It's health insurance, its not cash. "Fraud" here means going to a doctor if you are unemployed.

Waking up every day like

Today’s vote is a shameful display of how far Republicans will go to cling to power. The SAVE Act is an egregious voter suppression bill that has nothing to do with protecting elections and everything to do with stopping eligible Americans from voting, plain and simple. 🧵

No #PinkPollTax! #PollTax

The fact that Biden or Obama or any democrat could never get away with this kind of blatant market manipulation but trump can shows exactly why the country is the mess that it is. We have one party that has to be perfect and one that breaks laws and gets away with it.

Pilot puts plane into a nosedive, pulls out at the last minute, saunters back into the cabin looking for high fives from the vomit covered passengers.

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

lmao

Gasparino: Let's be clear what happened, who capitulated here and why? You know, I don't want to say this because I am a patriot, I am an American, but it is The White House who capitulated based on everything I hear and all my sources

Genuinely no master plan y'all, it's the dam water in California again. Have you ever BEEN around a terminally rich person, they're just like this

I deserve compensation for the hours of rage tears caused by Microsoft Word over the years

#SAVEact know your facts, tell your reps to vote No www.factcheck.org/2025/02/will...

"the whiter of the two candidates" Fixed it for him!

None of these "logical, critical thinking" bros ever get to tell us how smart they are ever again

Super!

Trump take US dollar

So if the economy totally crashes because the President is either cognitively gone or an agent of foreign chaos, this Congress is just going to act like we’ve got to roll with it for 3 and a half more years?

The logic of filling in public swimming pools with dirt or cement instead of racially integrating them, applied to the whole country
