So maybe this isn’t real, or it WAS real until a grownup found out about DOGE’s latest.

You know it’s bad when the illegitimate compromised Supreme Court voted unanimously to force the orange felon and his group of criminals to bring back the Maryland man they deported to El Salvador. Also, let’s stop pretending it was a mistake, it was done on purpose.

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.

First bearded in evening light.

Charlie’s pissed because we ran out of oat milk and now he has to use almond milk like a peasant.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

WHAT DO THESE GENIUSES THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MANUFACTURING JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY IF THERE IS A RECESSION !?!?!?!?!?!!?

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck any American President who finds out an innocent man was mistakingly deported to an El Salvador prison and doesn’t IMMEDIATELY demand that man be IMMEDIATELY returned to America. And btw, fuck any American President who’s ok with deporting ANYONE without due process.

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

I just got back from a couple days in Montreal and the city is wonderful but it's a little weird being around unarmed citizens with healthcare who understand three syllable words.

Funny how other than the federal agencies they are rendering dysfunctional and broken, we've stopped hearing about DOGE and their so-called $100s of billions of savings. I'll bet Musk costs us money with IRS shortfall!

Donald Trump has made himself—and by extension, us—the laughing stock of the world.

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

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

Xi: “You don’t have all the cards.”

We're just past peak wisteria

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.

They are obviously slow learners

Most days I still can't believe Americans elected a fake real estate tycoon moron game show host POTUS once. And then after he incited an insurrection and was convicted of 34 felonies we elected him again and now even more sycophants suck his mushroom dick daily and pretend he's some kind of genius.

We cannot abandon this young man- a gay makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison, by a disgraced former Milwaukee cop with major credibility issues He is Andry Hernández Romero. God knows what will happen to him. Call your representatives. Call the WH. We care

America. Home. Of. The. Corrupt. ✨

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Take a deep breath and look at these otters relaxing. You probably need it.

Loved this, “FREE” always tastes so good…

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway… LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

GM!

Isn’t it weird how quiet all those “weaponization of government” yahoos get when Donald Trump personally orders his DOJ to go after people who criticized him?

One thing I love about Northern Flickers--they have a beautiful little ♥️ on the back of their head! Nature is amazing. 🥰🥰🥰 #Flicker #CentralPark #birding

Every parent knows that the best way to get your kids to respect you is to make empty threats about consequences you’ll never impose.

MTG dabbling in insider trading now too

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

Right now, America is not a place where rule of law exists. We are all being mined to increase the wealth of the few.

Exactly, fraudulent asshole.

I’d argue that issuing EOs to direct the DOJ to investigate political enemies is crossing the rubicon.
