Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One, the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martin's, Range Rovers, and Minis. *No other consumer good received carveouts.

Trump isn’t gonna like this.

anyway periodic reminder that congress can at any time they wish, and should tomorrow, end this

I bet if Carnival Cruise Lines let Trump be in charge of planning theme nights and things like that, he'd happily resign the presidency.

JD Vance: So self-confident, so self-assured, so assertive... and invariably completely wrong

Faced with exposure of the direct connection between air traffic chaos and the "reforms" of Elon Musk, the Trump administration shuts down an independent expert review. www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

A corrupt pro wrestling promoter given the authority to shut down the nation’s oldest university is about where we’re at right now, as a country.

“Do you swear to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?” “I don’t know.”

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

Greyhound, I promise I will never talk smack about you ever again. Bravo

WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree? TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution? TRUMP: I don't know

I saw some guy online comment today that "we need a male AOC" and I had to shut my laptop and go for a nice, long walk in order to avoid screaming.

I know there's a lot going on, but I would like to highlight that Mike Johnson slipped language into an otherwise routine House procedural vote yesterday that now blocks Democrats from forcing an investigation into Pete Hegseth’s Signal scandal, through October.

1. Next school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud. The lesson will not be part of a course on conspiracy theories, but an official component of the new social studies curriculum.

*that’s the entire history of polling

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time. “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

“The Buck Stops Here” < “I’m Not Involved” 🇺🇸 @rollingstone.com #Garcia www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Been traveling this week (mostly Pittsburgh) and the Garcia/El Salvador story is coming up all the time. Main topic at Dem town halls/campaign events, I'm overhearing people talking about it at cafes, etc. There's a DC CW that Dems should pivot to some issue that polls better. Not their choice imo

In court: We grabbed the wrong guy. On Fox News: We got Kingpin.

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government may not use federal benefits or funds to coerce parties to surrender their constitutional rights. This is what the Administration is doing ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

Q: What distinguishes a prison from a concentration camp?

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

There's so much to be mad about but nothing has caused my blood to absolutely boil more than watching two so-called "world leaders" lie that an innocent good father and husband and hard-working union apprentice is a "terrorist." I hope these monsters burn in hell

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

The principle at stake here is so fundamental it predates even Magna Carta in English law, and before that stretching all the way back to Rome, and has its similarly ancient equivalents in every legal system in the world, because it's the inherent bedrock foundation of what courts and laws are for.

Imagine laws, but for rich people.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Trump bears the bulk of the blame for the unprecedented global economic crisis now unfolding. But let’s not ignore the role played by the hideously bad judgment of the business and financial leaders who supported Trump and didn’t realize this was an inevitable outcome.

When many of us called MAGA a Trump cult, and I referred to it as a right-wing authoritarian pro-death movement, we were called hysterical. Well, go check out the markets right now and see MAGA cheering on a potential global recession and come back to me.

"The strategic ambiguity about whether or not we live in an autocracy is designed to preserve maximum maneuverability for the regime until such time as they have full control and no longer need to maneuver."

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.
