Trump is requiring the United Kingdom to get rid of laws protecting LGBTQ people before he will agree to a trade deal with them.

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.

Just ran straight from the Bernie / AOC rally (actually had to miss some of Bernie!) to my 18 month oncology check up annnnnd STILL CANCER FREE!!

"Even w/ the latest step-back from the draconian Liberation Day measures, the 145% tariff on China actually lifts the U.S. average tariff rate to around 30%...making it the largest tax increase on U.S. households and businesses since WWII." www.jpmorgan.com/insights/glo...

IN EL SALVADOR: Senator Van Hollen says Trump is in violation of court orders — and is paying El Salvador to imprison an innocent man. (And #KilmarÁbregoGarcía is not the only one)

Great work everyone

yes! this dude will back down to anyone who tells him to fuck himself! this is the only response worth having!

The projection is off the charts here

ICE Argues Migrants In Camps Are Free To Die At Any Time theonion.com/ice-arg...

Which chicken shit House Dem said this off the record? Which one of you is too cowardly to add your name to this horrid statement? Speak up so we can primary your ass back to the stone age.

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

That’s right… Bill Kristol?

BREAKING: Peter Guthrie has been expelled from the UCP Caucus for speaking out about government corruption. That makes two! The cracks are getting bigger and Danielle Smith is frantically scrambling. Keep the pressure on, friends. Demand your UCP MLA stand up too. A better Alberta is possible.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

A town hall for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Tuesday quickly deteriorated into chaos, as police officers forcibly removed several protesters and subdued two of them with stun guns. Read more: nyti.ms/42MLMZV

I'm not sure if I should speak out against the guy kicking my ass. I don't want to be seen as anti-ass kicking, which I generally support

Says the guy whose charity was shut down by the state of New York for making illegal campaign contributions.

Judge Xinis in Tuesday eve order homes in on key issue: "Abrego Garcia appears to remain inexplicably detained in CECOT." She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”

Let’s be perfectly clear… When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is ‘the role of Congress’ to remove him from office… Full stop. Any Questions?!

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

Just asking questions, Stephen!!!!

•DISORDER IN GEORGIA• Many constituents at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall last night were furious. Vehement opposition to Greene’s representation, the Trump regime’s fascist takeover, and destructive Republican policies led to explosions of anger and chaos. •GREENE’S GOONS• Within minutes…

Let’s be clear, what Poilievre is proposing - using the notwithstanding clause to change criminal justice in Canada- IS a step towards authoritarianism. All other things aside, even this alone utterly disqualifies Poilievre as a wannabe tyrant. #cdnpoli #elxn45 #elbowsup #neverCPC

There are many things I am more upset about now than this (although that number would be zero in a rational world). Still... What the holy fuck?

Merciless Karma! #Resist 💙🙏🍀💕 fiftyfifty.one

Cinco de Mayo parades in Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Jose have been canceled due to organizers' concerns about ICE raids and anti-immigrant sentiment, as community members fear attending.

🇺🇸

There's no way around it: if we care about law and order we have to let the government commit crimes

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

NEW: Judge Xinis authorizes up to 15 interrogatories, 15 document requests, depositions from all govt declarants (Cerna, Katz, Kozak, and Mazzara) and up to two others to assess what the govt has done to "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

My new government will bring in a new training benefit for workers in key sectors — so you have the skills you need to keep building Canada strong.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article
