🤣

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Yes...we are there. Now let's act like it. My latest.

another chunk from today's post about all the stupid shit that MAGA got up to yesterday — link to the whole ball of wax is here: bit.ly/44rFgJd thanks for reading it! (longer excerpt in the alt text)

Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide. That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

Leavitt: "Abrego Garcia was a foreign terrorist. He is an MS-13 gang member. He was engaged in human trafficking." (The White House hasn't provided evidence for any of these claims ... )

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

If Karoline Leavitt or anyone in this administration has receipts showing that Mr. Garcia is a member of MS-13, or engaged in human trafficking, they’d be presenting them in a power point presentation every single day.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

The exchange at the Oval Office before the press pool entered: Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough." Bukele: "We got space." Everyone laughs. youtu.be/myFL_QyW4QY

👇🏽

What a contrast between how our allies get treated versus little dictators like Bukele. Not a word about him not wearing a suit either, as he petitions the US to expand his country’s mercenary penal colony by sending him more money.

Guy who claims to be a master dealmaker can’t even strike a deal with one of his closest allies to secure the return of a man he mistakenly sent to prison?

President Trump and his top aides are exerting control of huge sums of federal research money to shift the ideological tilt of elite universities, which they see as hostile to conservatives. The process has upended higher education. nyti.ms/4jqnCKe

Never Forget…..

Bukele stated he would not return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States, saying it would be like smuggling “a terrorist” into the United States

Just in: El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele indicated that he does not plan to send a wrongfully deported Maryland man back to the U.S. after the Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return.

let's get you to bed gramps

Well thankfully we have a constitution and first amendment that will endure long past you fat self

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

made-in-China MAGA merch getting hit by Trump’s tariffs (H/T @saadia---m.bsky.social )

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

This story fails to mention the reason they couldn’t open the doors to save the people who died. Cybertruck doors can’t be opened from the outside when the electrical isn’t working, like when they’re on fire.

Been thinking of old Letterman clips for some reason.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

I love this! 👇🏻

Yesterday the Oval Office.

All 9 Supreme Court justices told Trump: no more deportations without due process. But Justice Sotomayor put it most directly:

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

Commissioner. Chief Financial Officer. Chief Legal Officer. Chief Risk Officer. Chief Privacy Officer. Chief of Staff. All out. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

A play in two acts.

Wha happened today would be treated as crime if they didn’t now also control all the law enforcement agencies

All this "fraud" and yet still not a single fraud charge filed.

Gasparino: Let's be clear what happened, who capitulated here and why? You know, I don't want to say this because I am a patriot, I am an American, but it is The White House who capitulated based on everything I hear and all my sources

Prediction: Today (4/9/25) registered the greatest ill gotten gains from insider trading in history.

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.
