In a weird synchronicity, the flag-painted-on-face is the look of Marvel Comics supervillain Nuke, a military experiment gone wrong who is addicted to drugs that make him both super strong & a paranoid, delusional psychopath. (A version showed up in the Netflix Jessica Jones series.)

Chris Van Hollen has pointed out that because El Salvador is a member of the ICC, not allowing Abrego Garcia access to legal representation is a violation, and places ES dictator, Bukele, in possible legal jeopardy, as well as possible legal sanctions.

Coates: First of all, some of these are Trump appointees Jennings: I don’t care Coates: I care when I let you speak and you overtalk me

ā€œI just think it’s kind of insulting to 6 million dead Jews, you know,ā€ Maher said. ā€œThat should kind of be in its own place in history.ā€

This is absolutely, positively, without a doubt NOT the way.

Fox News just aired a host calling Pete Buttigieg the F slur—live. Not a mistake. Not subtle. This is who they are. Every LGBTQ+ person watching just got told we are punchlines. Sickening.

It no longer matters that you didn't vote for the orange rapist felon. Everything he's doing is being done in the name of the United States. We must remove him. Failure to resist and remove is not an option. Silence is complicity.

Sitting with the data that -- Black people are 3.23x as likely as white people to be killed during a police encounter Black women are 3x more likely to die of a pregnancy or postpartum-related cause than white women. Tripled violence, tripled harms.

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

Paul Revere 2025: ā€œThe British aren’t coming and nor are the Europeans or Canadians….ā€

He’s so good at this.

They better be careful what they ask for

"The podcast by Ben Meiselas and his brothers regularly outdraws Joe Rogan’s. Their secret weapon? Reason. Imagine!" Read now šŸ‘‡

This is a sleeper case. I fully admit this wasn’t even on my radar until this morning. But now Judge Gallagher has become the second judge to order the Trump administration to ā€œfacilitateā€ the return of an individual held in CECOT. And unlike Mr. Abrego, this guy is Venezuelan, not Salvadoran.

This pathetic ā€œpresidentā€ crashed the economy and created a world where citizens and residents can be picked up by his regime for no reason — without any accusation of a crime. And he wants to wonder why he’s unpopular… Get REAL!

No meat inspection No milk inspection No keeping track of child/domestic abuse No keeping track of women dying in childbirth No funding of head start No childhood cancer research No vaccines No affordable housing Minimum wage 7.25 LETS HAVE A BABY!

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

After citing Trump's tariffs as an excuse for mass layoffs, automaker Stellantis is rewarding shareholders with a $2.26B payout. Big corporations will use any cover they can — like inflation or tariffs — to pad profits and line their pockets at workers expense. Know the truth.

A bunch of American’s now learning that fascism isn’t a la carte and are acting mighty confused.

The party that has waged a war of hate on drag queens is spending tax payer dollars on a makeup room in the Pentagon for the apparent male Secretary of Defense.

Thank you for stepping down and passing the torch.

Due process is not negotiable.

So what happens when we are at a point where the First Felon openly refuses to obey direct court orders, even from SCOTUS? We don't know, because we've never been here before. But if we are not in a Constitutional crisis now, when will we be in one? Will the people rise up, and fight, or not?

It’s hard to imagine Abrego Garcia’s lawyers agreeing to this unless the government was making meaningful concessions.

The actual headline is she was doxed by the US government for fighting back and is being attacked by MAGA brown shirts.

To all the Democrats saying, let’s look for a better test subject… Don’t worry, they’re moving pretty quickly because of your fucking ineptitude to counter this moment. We need a Van Hollen in every state right now.

Trump defied a 9–0 Supreme Court ruling and deported a Maryland resident—Kilmar Abrego Garcia—into a foreign mega-prison. Most Dems stayed silent. + AOC & Bernie are acting like we’re in a crisis. I break it all down on this week’s inaugural edition of FriendoCast: open.spotify.com/episode/64gs...

The opportunity for Democrats here is to take every one of these ā€œmistakesā€ and make a single case - that the Trump admin has no clue what they’re doing, and thus we cannot trust them at their word. Being a lawless king is one thing but being an inept, idiot, stupid, lawless king is another.

So Fox poll says Trump is at 33% on tariffs and inflation; 38% on taxes and the economy. But but but immigration ... well, about that.

Donald Trump's flurry of pathetic, deranged posts this morning proves once again—that’s all he’s got. Republicans in Congress might still be scared of his mean tweets, but the rest of the world is laughing at him.

Trump's syphilitic-emperor routine yanking tariffs up and down at random, and the obvious fact that he doesn't have the balls for a real fight, is about the worst imaginable situation trade-wise prospect.org/economy/2025...

Don’t buy Tesla but it’s ok to stay on X. Right. #NaziEnablers

As Trump takes aim at core Democratic Party-affiliated institutions, let's be perfectly clear what his goal is: Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, speak out against him, or run against him in elections. That's what dictators do.

Unfuckingbelievable! šŸ‘‡ Thoughts?! šŸ¤”

Weird how when I walk down the street in sunglasses šŸ˜Ž no one says to me "Hey, I need to see your eyes. You're living in a prison of fear!" Oh right, because sunglasses aren't politicized like masks are

So anyway the party of small government wants access to your private medical records to build a national database of people with certain characteristics nbd

If Trump is not removed before the end of this year, we will have fascism for generations.

Yeah, who wants to make six figures doing a desk job when you can make $15 an hour doing backbreaking work in a factory for a few decades.

All of the kidnapped and trafficked hostages need to be returned. Every one of them.

Recording a one hour video/podcast tomorrow morning talking about how the Constitution in today's immigration policy has gone missing AND the Fugitive Slave Clause. Feel absolutely no pressure that I'm two guests later from Jamelle Bouie. Will post when it's done.

Tesla sales in Europe plunged 36% in March, the third consecutive monthly fall, while European EV sales grew 17% in March. Burn it to the ground!

A recent book on Hitler’s rise to power examines how a country with a functional, if flawed, democratic machinery handed absolute power over to someone whom the conservative political class regarded as a chaotic clown with a violent following.

Do undocumented migrants have the right to due process? There are six Supreme Court cases that say they do. This is Part One in a series going through all six. Hope you can watch. youtu.be/47doKQBedN4

The White House is abusing this family (they are citizens) and it’s ridiculous. It needs to be stopped.

Are we so financially illiterate as a country that one would take $5000 in exchange for 18+ years of financial dependence for another? Come on, now.

A 62-year-old man who was in a medical crisis died after a flight crew delayed calling for assistance until the plane had landed and all the passengers had disembarked, according to a lawsuit filed by the man’s family.

Never in the history of business has one person done so much damage to his reputation & company brand as quickly as Elmo has done to himself & TSLA. The damage will get worse & is permanent. Couldn't happen to a more deserving monster.

As those who have studied history understand, an autism registry is a five alarm fire… Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?!

If the federal government doesn't step in to help people rebuild in natural disasters you don't have a country anymore.
