A good read.

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

The recent Dr. Who episode featured a gamer named Al who ran amuck on a different world. No difference with 20 somethings running amuck in the computer networks of our government. In both cases, it’s easy to predict if won’t go well (no spoiler intended for Dr. Who fans 😉).

Let them eat cake?

Sounds just like what the Nazi’s said during the Nuremberg trials. Wonder if any of these “officers” have ever heard of the Nuremberg trials, who was on trial and why?

I think you’re correct.

(Bloomberg) - China has ordered its airlines not to take any further deliveries of Boeing Co. jets as part of the tit-for-tat trade war .., according to people familiar with the matter. $BA @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is serious business and it’s not like you can find new buyers right away. Decisions to order airplanes are years in the making and this becomes a logistical nightmare for Boeing. Sure their shareholders are concerned 😦

Is anyone else with me in tiring of seeing #47’s face scrawled about news of other people and nations? This obsession the MSM in groveling before one who doesn’t read beyond the headlines speaks to the an overreach. With falling polls and declining readership, perhaps they should get the message 🤔

Columbia grad weighs in

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

We haven’t reached bottom yet. Because there is no bottom to his moral depravity.

Indigenous communities are not just protecting nature — they are the best frontline defenders. 🌳✊🏽💚 ➡️ Their knowledge is powerful and different. We have so much to learn from them. 🌍 Keep up the great work Hindou! 💯🇹🇩 #ClimateJustice #IndigenousRights

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

New requirements by Doge/IRS software provider to collect biometric data from citizens to obtain a PIN to submit a tax return? Why? For seniors who have never had to go beyond a birth date and drivers license/identity card—what utter nonsense. It’s like they don’t want to collect taxes. Starve govt!

That’s with the shoe lifts.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

So it begins. The purging of the “home grown.” Deporting American citizens is illegal and it’s not just the criminals.



I just received this email. The pending litigation? Who filed a lawsuit I wonder? (It was me.)

I was always taught that a good leader brings out the best in others. What do you call one who fosters the worst? Just asking…

Emergency video: it’s time to start making plans. Either the house steps up to defend the constitution, or our generation does. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Today, Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal resident of Vermont, walked into an immigration office to complete a final step for citizenship. Instead, he was arrested by plain-clothed, armed individuals with faces covered. This is immoral, inhumane, and illegal. He must receive due process and be released.

I've been saying this for a week. Go get him. spectrumlocalnews.com/us/national/...

Did anyone notice that Buekele didn’t wear a tie? I thought that outraged people when Zelensky didn’t

😡

Can confirm the USA is now a traitor dictatorship supported by SCOTUS and most of congress and allowed by whatever “good” democrats are left. All patriotic Americans and good humans must oppose this government and all Republicans and their policies. Never lose hope. Always fight and say no. 🇺🇸

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

Start with those he pardoned for January 6th. That would be an excellent move given they had already been adjudicated and convicted. But, oh yeah, those were his good guys and gals. Just tourists desecrating and destroying the capitol 🤔

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

Legal permanent resident of the U.S., showing up to apply for citizenship, with no allegations of criminal activity, is arrested and detained by masked police. This is fascism, and that is not a word I use lightly. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/n...

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."
