No! Stop this, major media! That’s _not_ what just happened! DOJ at _no_ point made _any_ commitment to “bring Garcia home,” nor did it ask for “more time” to “bring Garcia home.” It said that Garcia is in the custody of El Salvador and the court has no jurisdiction there. Get it right, dammit!

This past Saturday night, our government grabbed a legal U.S. resident, arrested him, is now detaining him, and is trying to quickly deport him. No charges. No trial. His wife, a U.S. citizen, doesn’t know where he is. This is what authoritarian regimes do. This shouldn’t happen here.

@maddow.msnbc.com @lastword.msnbc.com I'm 80, my 81 year old roommate just yelled from the other room 'Why can't we sue Trump and Musk?' We're all so anxious. Social Security is all we have, it's OUR money. We should sue for pain and suffering at the very least.

At first Elon thought another one of his rockets blew up. Imagine his relief when he discovered it was only the American economy.

Russia’s ‘3-day war’ is now 3 YEARS old—and they’re getting wrecked. 800,000 casualties, no tanks, no fleet… and now Trump is cutting Ukraine’s aid to throw Putin a lifeline. Sad! Read how Ukraine is WINNING despite the betrayals adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-lif...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

I’ve been doing a lot of research about the people being laid off at the national parks and it turns out it has nothing to do with DEI or performance. It’s a land grab so they can drill baby drill.

King Trump vows to shutter the @USPS and have Amazon handle all US. In return, shit-eater @JeffBezos bends the knee & begs to be the world’s first trillionaire. King Musk is furious as he wants to be the first to reach that milestone. We are at a standstill. More to come.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Musk is spending $40 million of America taxpayer money on DOGE each month. That doesn't include the ultimate costs to taxpayers of his slash and burn strategy, such as unemployment benefits for workers who will ultimately lose jobs, both inside & outside of gov't. www.propublica.org/article/doge...
