This is a great opportunity for SoCal folks to make their voices heard.

Seventy-five percent

Here’s an idea for Passover, the Freedom Holiday: When El Salvador’s President Bukele enters the White House Monday April 14 for an “official working visit,” he should BRING MR. GARCIA WITH HIM, HOPEFULLY ALIVE, AND RETURN THE RANSOM HE COLLECTED FOR ENSLAVING THAT LAWLESSLY SEIZED INNOCENT MAN.

I’m so old I remember when the Secretaries of Defense and State and a whole bunch of other folks were casually planning wars on unsecured cell phones without bothering to check who else was on the chat.

This part

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov A Congressional/Senate trip to El Salvador sounds like a good idea!

This is really scary and bad

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Donald Fucking Trump did on J6!

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

NEW from Abrego Garcia's attorneys: "The Government continues to delay, obfuscate, and flout court orders, while a man’s life and safety is at risk. Its request for an extension ... is another stunning display of arrogance and cruelty." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Wow! Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” has been removed from the Naval Academy; “Mein Kampf” stays. So does “The Bell Curve,” which argues Black people are genetically less intelligent than white people; a critique of the book was pulled. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

A legal resident & green-card holder, married to a US citizen who is pregnant with what will be a natural born citizen. Evil.

I don't want to dismiss that Cuomo sexually harassed 13 women, but his policies - his actual policies - killed a shit ton of people and then he covered it up.

Remember. You. Were. All. Warned. 😎✨

​In Houston 20 children attacked 3 Afghan Muslim girls wearing hijab, ripping their hijabs off, pulling their hair, and beating them unresponsive: www.youtube.com/shorts/FVDVs... National Corp media is ignoring this story. I will continue to report on it. Subscribe at www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

TODAY’s ACTION ITEM: these 4 Dems voted to effectively take away millions of American’s ability to vote! Call and share: ”How dare you vote to make it impossible for millions of women & others to vote!” Golden(ME) 202-225-6306 Perez(WA) 202 225-2531 Cuellar(TX) 202 225-1640 Case(HI) 202-225-2726

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

Read @stevevladeck.bsky.social on the bizarre shortcomings of the majority's unsigned opinion in the Venezuelan migrant decision. An actual opinion is better than no opinion, I guess, but is it too much to ask that the opinion make sense? www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-140-...

This is long, but well sourced. THEY WERE NOT DEPORTED! They are not from that country. They were abducted and trafficked.

Ok sorry but getting on my soapbox to say that this isn’t a u-turn or a 180 or even a pause on tariffs. The MASSIVE tariffs are gone but BIG tariffs are still in place. And more so than before last week. Frame it right.

Right here in Los Angeles. Evil.
