Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

Biden: Why are these guys taking aim at social security now? They are following that old line from tech startups. The quote is move fast, break things. Well, they are certainly breaking things… They want to wreck it so they can rob it

NEW: Judge Xinis authorizes up to 15 interrogatories, 15 document requests, depositions from all govt declarants (Cerna, Katz, Kozak, and Mazzara) and up to two others to assess what the govt has done to "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge demands answers.

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Iowa voters confronted Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley over Trump’s blatant defiance of the Supreme Court and disregard for the Constitution. The American people are rising up against the corrupt Trump regime.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

NEW: A whistleblower report submitted to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel reveals that DOGE and Elon Musk appear to have mishandled and manipulated sensitive data from the National Labor Relations Board — and worked to cover its tracks. The NLRB is a small independent agency that…

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

The next few months need to resemble the 2017 fight to save the ACA. In the end, we won. Call Congressmembers, confront them at town halls, offices, airports & fundraisers. Hold events so Congressmembers look really bad for being afraid of constituents.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Donald Trump now has ‘constitutional dementia’ about Harvard & deporting American citizens youtu.be/ylxcZNrbfJE?...

Absolutely the worst POS to ever be Commander in Chief…

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime. This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

If you’re protesting this weekend, know your rights.

Not sure how "official" these numbers are, but it sure looks like vets showed up and showed out today. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to hang out in DC or your state capitol and show support for veterans. ❤️🇺🇸

Ain't it always the way?

Happening now outside John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis! We aren’t letting them quietly destroy the VA! @votevets.org

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration over the expected unlawful and unprecedented invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. This is the same policy used during WWII to justify the internment of people of Japanese ancestry.

New in PN: They're coming for the right to protest "The motivation behind Khalil’s arrest isn’t genuine concern for Jewish students. It’s opposition to lawful protests on campuses and elsewhere — protests Trump fears could present a challenge to his authoritarian aspirations."

"Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there." -- Prof. David Noll www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

ICYMI: “Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website”…in order “to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.”

No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist. The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.” The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.

Tadaa.

What a front cover...

State of the Union, early thoughts...

Tariffs UP. Groceries UP. Exports DOWN. Stock market DOWN. Consumer confidence DOWN. Chance of a recession UP UP UP. After Trump left, it took Biden 4 years to rebuild the US economy. It’s taken Trump just 6 weeks to destroy it again.

The last time America increased tariffs like this, it was 1930 — and it triggered the Great Depression.
