President Donald Trump’s administration acknowledged Monday that sending Kilmar Abrego Garcia to his native El Salvador was an “administrative error.” Despite this, the White House argued against bringing him back and says it lacks the power to seek his return from El Salvador’s government.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

SCOOP: A WIRED review of public data shows that national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Please follow @dearlstephens.bsky.social. His most recent article (and terrific writing) is a frank look at the Signal fiasco. But this line rings true: “…I understand your cynicism. We simply cannot give into it, though, or we are already dead.” “The Truth Must Matter” Indeed. Thank you, Earl.

In all seriousness, Fox can be patriotic and help our country by offering Pete Hegseth his old job. That can help him retire. He's not qualified for this position and he's making us less safe.

It's a day ending in "y" so there's been a torrent of legal news: A judge temporarily blocked Elon Musk and DOGE's access to Social Security Administration records and systems with Americans' personal info and ordered DOGE staff to delete data they already had www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Finding out Musk is currently Finding Out is the best Finding Out phase I’ve ever been through.

When you're Senate Majority or Minority leader, every American is your constituent. @schumer.senate.gov, how could you not notice the unprecedented groundswell of voter voices last week demanding you do the right thing, not the easy thing. And yet you persisted. #TheReformers would like a word.

This is exactly how Hitler came to power. Everybody thought that the party would reject him at some point because he was an idiot. It didn’t happen.

Must read article. 👇🏽 Perhaps if @schumer.senate.gov focused as much on the Democratic Party as he does on the Trump and the Republican Party, we wouldn’t be in the midst of fascism. But here we are. It’s time to #ChuckSchumer If you agree… +… www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

"Walz says now he should have been doing events all through last fall. He says he offered, but was told no, and in his bewildered daze, he decided to be a team player." Need to seriously start asking if these dem consultants are actively on the take, no other way to explain such uselessness

“Trump did not declare the end of judicial authority in a speech. He demonstrated it in practice. This is how democratic systems collapse—not with a single act, but with the normalization of defiance, the expectation that a ruling can simply be brushed aside.”

They made a homophobic, anti-mask, misogynist the face of their company and then act like victims when decent people decided not to buy their vetbro beer. The punchline: the CEO of Armed Forces Brewing never served. It’s a marketing ploy. $300K from Youngkin wasted. www.whro.org/business-gro...

I TRULY LOVE AND RESPECT @ericswalwell.bsky.social Congressman Eric Swalwell tonight Message to Little Marco Rubio "Bro, did you write this?" "Don't bullshit us. Grow a pair "

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue GEE PETE…don’t ya just hate it when those FauxNews appearances come back to haunt you?

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

📌I'll say this again, Republican: You somehow might not think you are a racist, but Trump sure does ...
