It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

Just to be clear, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled this week that people are entitled to due process before being sent to El Salvador. They couched it in weaselly passive language, but it's very clear that they unanimously agreed such actions are "improper." The administration is ignoring that.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Reminder: Trump’s crypto coin is an obvious avenue for bribery, and everyone should be horrified — Good explanation 👇🏽 (And everyone who wanted Biden charged for bribery is silent 🤐 as Trump moves to free the informant who lied to the FBI about it)

Trump is also saying that the once the US has rounded up individuals, with minimal or zero due process, on whatever pretext they choose, they can send them out of the US to face torture, death, life imprisonment, slave labor or other fates that are unconstitutional or illegal in the US.

Don't overlook this: Trump is leaving Abrego Garcia to rot in a foreign gulag even though the admin can always bring him back and retry him for deportation in a lawful way. That they won't do this shows their case against him is nonsense. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1939...

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Vaccines are safe. COVID, MMR, influenza, you name it. Vaccines are safe and effective (and no, they don't cause autism, either). But the geniuses who brought you DOGE have a plan to change all that.

Another primary reason we shouldn’t have social security beneficiaries be forced to go on X is because the platform not only reinstated the account of a person who shared child sexual abuse material on the site, it now pays him to be a promoted member on the platform.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

The Trump administration is planning to declare legal migrants dead on the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File. This is an outrageous abuse of power. It will not only create extreme hardship, but kill people.

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the research arm of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, close all weather and climate labs, and eviscerate its budget along with several other NOAA offices. Many Americans will DIE as a result of this irresponsible action.

Trump has amassed over a billion dollars in collective pro bono hours pledged by big law firms. As DOJ faces an exodus of talent and lawyers, he's going to force these firms to argue on behalf of the US in favor of horrifying fascist policies as part of their pro bono requirements.

Large federal spending cuts for #Medicaid could have implications for nursing facilities bc Medicaid covers 63% of nursing home costs. Federal cuts could lead to reductions in Medicaid payment rates making it harder for nursing facilities to bolster staffing to improve the quality of patient care.
