Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Dems on the House Oversight Committee moved to subpoena Elon Musk today, catching Republicans off as few Repubs were present. Hilariously, Nancy Mace then lost control of the hearing as they tried to scramble to get their members to actually show up: youtu.be/HdNbaoo5bdM

Per Jose Olivares on X, here is a likely quid for the CECOT pro quo. Trump is dropping criminal charges against multiple serious MS-13 leaders we are currently trying to prosecute. Many of them are “inconvenient” to Bukele, as they previously admitted to working with him before the truce broke.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Rubio spreads misinformation about Van Hollen's trip to El Salvador and meeting with Abrego Garcia: "We deported gang members, including the one you had a margarita with. And that guy is a human trafficker. And that guy is a gang member."

This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face. Totally dystopian.

pundits often insist that our problem is too much partisanship. I think that's really confused, especially now. bipartisanship under ascendant fascism generally means the powerful uniting to crush the marginalized. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/the-danger...

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

“Osterholm said it’s an approach he wouldn’t have imagined taking until the Trump administration took office. But he said experts want reassurance vaccine information will stay stable — reassurance they’re not getting from the federal government.”

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

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.

Watch @repjohnbryant.bsky.social take on Rep. Schoolcraft’s amendment that would pull funding from schools that need it the most — and Schoolcraft’s cruel response. #txlege

Trump and Bukele's gulag conspiracy is tyrannical in the strongest sense of the word. Great to see @vanhollen.senate.gov defending Kilmar Abrego Garcia, especially naming a deadline and specifying the next step he would take to escalate. www.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-r...
