Just sayin….

Not that this level of hypocrisy should surprise anyone by this point, but this was 8 months ago….from a time when The Economist called the US evonomy “the envy of the world.” Who’s jealous now??

THIS THIS THIS

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

No Ken do: Trump says US kids may get ‘two dolls instead of 30’ due to tariffs

The wildly disproportionate response to Amazon from Trump and Leavitt wasn’t a sign of strength and power. It was a display of deep, enduring weakness, just waiting to be exploited.

When Tr*mp asks Americans to be patient, we know one thing for sure: AMERICA IS IN DEEP SHIT!!

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Can we not just defund the El Salvador prison? Congress? Anyone?

Dangerous times in our food supply. Americans are literally dying. This cannot stand.

If the rights of non-citizens are not secure, then the rights of citizens are not secure.

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador to lobby for the release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, whose deportation has gripped the U.S. He isn't the only lawmaker with such a trip in mind.

ICE agents have been offered pardons to be violent and meet quotas.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Grateful to my friend and MD colleague @ChrisVanHollen for traveling to El Salvador to try to check on Abrego Garcia’s condition. We will not let up the pressure on the self-proclaimed dictator of El Salvador or the aspiring dictator here. We will continue the fight to bring Abrego Garcia home.

Bernie Sanders rally in LA draws thousands to protest Trump: ‘We can’t just let this happen’

Here's how you end a Hands Off! demonstration, Santa Barbara style. Thanks to the Society of Fearless Grandmothers, who organized the human alphabet and took the drone shots! #indivisible #handsoff

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

Brought out my “Equal Protection Body Armor” made from pocket US Constitutions for the Hands Off protest in Seattle. @maddow.msnbc.com

This embroidery in Evanston, IL, isn’t the quickest-reading sign of the #HandsOff protests, but it sure does capture the public mood.

Sign game strong today 🔥

@maddow.msnbc.com A six pack of protests across the country! HUGE turnouts all across the country! YES!

Here's one statistic for you: → Net jobs created under Clinton and Obama: 33.8 million. → Net jobs created under Bush, Bush, AND Trump: 1.9 million. That is not a typo.

“People tend to think, eh, democracy, rule of law, an independent judiciary, freedom of the press—that’s all abstract stuff because it’s not affecting the price of eggs,” Obama said. “Well, you know what? It’s about to affect the price of eggs.”

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale

Former Costa Rican President and Nobel Prize winner Oscar Arias said that the US had revoked his visa to enter the country, weeks after he criticized US President Donald Trump on social media saying he was behaving like ‘a Roman emperor’ reut.rs/4iRDMfK

Are you that discontented DOGE staffer? It might be time. You can reach out to me on Signal at joshtpm.99 (I'm not like Mike Waltz; I know how to use it.) You can also get me at joshtpm at protonmail dot com. Are you a federal worker with information I need to hear? I want to hear from you too.

What the hell is this?! Now all it takes to revoke a person's legally obtained visa is for anyone in the government to arbitrarily decide your exercise of free speech constitutes "creating a ruckus." Then poof: no more visa & the masked security services can abduct you off the street? In America?!!

Yep

10:50 a.m.: WisDems issue a press release saying Elon Musk "committed a blatant felony" in his post about his plans to "hand over two checks for a million dollars each" in Wisconsin on Sunday. Just over a half hour later, reports show Musk deleted the tweet.

The Army and FAA continued to allow some flights to operate near Reagan National Airport with a location communications system turned off, even after that contributed to the January midair collision that killed 67 people, officials testified Thursday. marylandmatters.org/2025/03/28/r...

“DOGE won’t just fall short of Musk’s deficit-reduction goals. It will, in all probability, increase the deficit,” Jonathan Chait writes. Are the deficit-reduction efforts just a pretext for ideological warfare?

BREAKING: We, @aclu.org and CLEAR are joining Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team after ICE unlawfully arrested and detained her in retaliation for her political speech. Speaking out against a war, a policy, or a government is not a crime. The government must immediately release Ms. Öztürk.

So, have MAGA voters had enough yet, of what is being done in their name? And with all of our tax dollars? Anyone who believed this regime was any better than 1940s Germany - you’ve officially been had.

Pressed by constituents about a potential constitutional crisis, Democrats have a catch phrase: Jamie Raskin is on it. Privately, Raskin has urged Dems to use the phrase "sweeping MAGA attack on our Constitution" instead of constitutional crisis. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/03/28/j...

Raskin: "Look at how sick that is. Basically anybody who has rendered any ruling they disapprove of they think should be removed from the bench. Any lawyer who has ever represented a party adverse to them they think should be cleared out of the way. That is in naked opposition to the rule of law."
