What Judge Xinis is banking on is that the government does not want to spend two weeks in discovery. Two big things can happen: (1) They just make the call and get him back (2) They spend two weeks creating a public record of their own fuck ups and then get sanctioned

Throw up protectionist trade barriers that hurt farmers, then bail out farmers with government handouts. MAGA Socialism.

You know who should lose their tax exempt status and be taxed as political entities for pushing politics loooooooooong before Harvard? Christian Nationalist megachurches that supported Trump and his current brand of fascism.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but if you have to TASER your constituents in order to hold a town hall, you might be a fascist.

JUST IN: Protester tased at Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall.

DeWine, Husted and whoever’s doing this stuff now are not very good at this….

The GOP legalizing pedophilia so they can sexually assault children was not on my P2025 Bingo card. But it totes tracks.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

They have nothing other than an irrational, bitter vendetta against immigrants.

It looks like the Trump regime is trying to hide ICE flights from the public tracker.

Huh… you know, Trump can talk to the press every day and still be a fascist, Marge.

👎 for John Fetterman from New Castle, PA “Fetterman has turned into a Trump loyalist and he does not care for us or anything he ran on! We were tricked.”

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

🚨NEW: Mark Carney leads polls as the best candidate to handle Trump-related issues in Canada’s election, per Bloomberg News.

Yeah, Dick Durbin is gonna be retiring. Exciting opportunity for a younger generation of Illinois Democrats to vie for a Senate seat.

SCOTUS ordered the President, unanimously, to return Garcia to the U.S. The President is defying that order. The judicial branch cannot enforce rulings. It’s Congress who must tell the president to obey SCOTUS or else face impeachment.

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

I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better," Atallah said. "Things actually changed to the worse."

This guy. Dan Caldwell, a former colleague of Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, has publicly criticized the close U.S.-Israel alliance jewishinsider.com/2025/01/dan-...

A student writes an op-ed. Three weeks later, she's cuffed on the street, dragged to Louisiana, and prepped for deportation. Trump & Rubio say "national security." The evidence? LOL. This is authoritarian garbage.

Tax Day is here. This filing season, you might notice that your refund’s taking longer or that it’s harder to get help from the IRS. You can thank Trump and DOGE. So much for "efficiency."

THIS IS HUGE! IN THE CASE BROUGHT BY IMMIGRANTS CONTESTING TRUMP'S TERMINATION OF PROGRAMS ALLOWING THEM TO WORK WHILE WAITING FOR THEIR IMMIGRATION REQUEST TO PROCESS ("PAROLE") THE COURT JUST GRANTED CLASS CERTIFICATION ACTION *AND* A RESTRAINING ORDER! In the case of Doe v. Noem (1/3)

There a great line in “The Master” where the brother of the Hubbard-like cult leader (played by late, great PSHoffman) says of him, “You know he’s making it up as he goes along, right?” We’ve reached that stage of Trumpism: whims, asides, and half-baked claims mixed in a cauldron of hate and fear.

Former SSA commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social , who is organizing a "Hands off Social Security" initiative, explains why the Trump administration suddenly adding living people to the "death master file" affects more than just a person's Social Security status.

Trump to Fox: "You know, in the old days -- about 1870 to 1913 -- the tariffs were the only form of money." 🥴

"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

This from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Is this administration so weak that Donald Trump and JD Vance can’t ask El Salvador to return someone they deported in error & have confidence El Salvador will honor their request? That would be a shocking fall in status for the United States.

Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

"We are either going to fight or we are going to surrender." @betoorourke.bsky.social gave us the potent #CupOfJoe that we need! NO SURRENDER!

1/The Trump admin has made it clear: they will have to be forced to comply with the law. They won’t do it voluntarily. It’s that simple & that complicated. Worst of all, it’s completely unsurprising we’ve come to this juncture. This was in the cards all along joycevance.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

China is openly mocking us because we are openly mockable right now.

Stephen Miller, a white nationalist and racist, is the mastermind behind all this anti-immigrant cruelty and he's found the perfect vessel in Donald Trump, another racist, who seems mostly checked out during his second Administration. But, he's golfing on your tax payer dollar.

Apparently Supreme Court rulings are optional now.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

He posted multiple times yesterday about being the victim of 60 Minutes. But not a peep about the heinous antisemitic assassination attempt and arson attack on Pennsylvania @governor.pa.gov. Disgusting …
