Trump doesn’t get it. It’s not that we don’t want him to get the bad guys. It’s that we want Trump to follow the rule of law and order. You can’t convict a person based on accusations or hearsay allegations. A person must have due process of habeas corpus to determine if they are guilty of a crime.

The Trump administration has quietly doubled down on its decision to stop sending emergency food to children starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries. Without urgent intervention, these children might die within months, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports. https://theatln.tc/kQAZFJJw

Just like when they separated children from their families at the border with no way of reuniting them, this is meant to terrorize the immigrant population in the United States. They want everyone to know that no one is safe from being sent to a third world prison so they leave the US out of fear.

NEW @npr.org EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data from the NLRB and hid its tracks. It's possible that the data included sensitive info on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets. A must-read from @jennamclaughlin.bsky.social:

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

1,700 attacks on schools, 600 children dead. 780 hospitals and clinics attacked, 13,000 civilians killed, and up to 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers dead - all for Vladimir Putin's vanity war to expand Russia to NATO's doorstep. Zelenskyy speaks with 60 Minutes.

Trump’s firings at the HHS included the entire office that sets federal poverty guidelines, which determine whether tens of millions of Americans are eligible for health programs such as Medicaid, food assistance, child care, and other services. This is cruel.

Today, we’re voting on what Republicans are calling the “SAVE Act”—but let’s be real, it’s a straight-up voter suppression bill. They are literally trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to exercise their right to vote. I’m voting NO—hell no, actually.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.
