Wow!

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

quick question: why was noem carrying $3,000 in cash? was she just out selling drugs or something?

A U.S. law bars the State Dept. from $$$ support of “'units of foreign security forces' — which can include military and law enforcement staff in prisons — facing credible allegations of gross human rights violations." Such as the money going to El Salvador's CECOT? [@arianalfigueroa.bsky.social]

Portland, Maine reporting in!

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

This needs to be presented as evidence in court. It shows lack of facilitation on the part of the Government to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States, as ordered by the court. PLEASE PASS THIS ON!

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers. I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Watch every second of this fiery speech last week by Letitia James. THIS is why Trump is going after her.

BBC News leads with this story and follows it all the way through for 10 straight minutes and then shifts to the El Salvador story!

Says the guy whose charity was shut down by the state of New York for making illegal campaign contributions.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Another day, another city scarred by terror. In Dnipro, A young girl was ki##led and seven others were injured in a UAV attack in Dnipro, including a 9-month-old girl. Russia is a terrorist state!

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

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

If this trolling drives the us economy into a ditch it will be an excellent metaphor

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

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.

i think it's great that this blubbering dilettante is responsible for maintaining the nation's most critical transportation infrastructure

Russia is a terrorist state!

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."
