@schumer.senate.gov , you said openly defying SCOTUS was a redline. Here it is. What is your plan to act?

Lawyers across the country, including me, are ringing the bell as loud as we possibly can about the fact that the Abrego Garcia case signals the end of our democracy. The vicious, fascistic lies Trump, Bondi, Miller, and Homan have told about it underscore that they know exactly what they're doing.

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

There’s been no doubt where this was headed. Trump repeatedly said he intended to send Americans to foreign prisons. Justice Sotomayor got that. The conservatives on the Court have no excuse, but they acted like they expected Trump to fall in line & obey, when all evidence was to the contrary.

Surely, it won't be lost on the courts that if Donald Trump has the influence over El Salvador President Nayib Bukele to persuade Bukele to get on a plane to come to the United States, he has the influence over Bukele to get him to put a kidnapped prisoner on a plane to come to the United States.

In a span of 2 minutes, Stephen Miller said it’s kidnapping if the US gets a citizen of El Salvador returned to us and then Trump declared an intention to ship US citizens to El Salvador. 2 minutes.

Presidents Trump of the U.S. and Bukele of El Salvador said Monday they had “no basis” to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported there last month. No basis? Trump is treating federal law and federal court orders as mere trash. apnews.com/live/donald-...

if Ritchie fucking Torres can do this and Chris Van Hollen can fly to El Salvador the rest of the Dem caucus can show up too hell, everyone should go on the El Salvador trip now’s the time, folks, this road ends with you in the foreign prison

Where's Chuck? Senator Schumer took an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. It's time to step up @schumer.senate.gov, or let someone else take the reigns to defend our democracy. The Reformers

Until now, Trump's DOGEy cuts have all been illegal. Trump is now seeking a legal way to codify about $9 billion of those cost.

These two posts: * “We need to treat antifa and BLM like terrorist organizations,” said Joe Kent, Trump’s pick to lead counter-terrorism efforts. * Trump to Bukele (president of El Salvador): “Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It’s not big enough.” 1/

Speaking directly to Pres. Trump in English, Ukrainian Pres. Zelenskyy says: “You think you understand what's going on here… But, please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of plans for negotiations, come to see the people — civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead.”

Apparently Supreme Court rulings are optional now.

There we go. Support this man.

I have such mixed feelings about this. #scichat #space #BlueOrigin

SO JUST TO RECAP: 1. The Supreme Court rules against Trump 9-0. 2. He flies in the dictator of El Salvador specifically to say he won't return Kilmar Abrego Garcia in front of the whole world. Is this supposed to be evidence for the Supreme Court? 3. The timing indicates a high level of concern.

AOC: That is the story that Republicans tell—not mine, but all of ours—when they say a waitress or a working person is unqualified to serve in Congress. But the truth is, many of us are far more qualified to understand what real life is actually like than any of them ever will be.

If the president can spend a quarter of his days in office golfing, corporations can give workers a four-day work week.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

I guess it’s good to know that the next Democratic president can ship Trump and his cabinet off to a Central American prison without a trial and we won’t ever have to worry about them coming back.

Public broadcasting is under attack in the US.

More of this!

What a relief to have Marc Elias and his team working to protect these votes. Thank you!

Imagine being the richest person on the planet... imagine what you could do to help impoverished nations & people... imagine what you could donate to medical research to help cure illness... imagine the happiness you could bring to the world... but instead you choose to be an absolute C*NT! SMH 🤷‍♂️

So today I cancelled my family holiday to the US… my reasoning? Well my wife is of Middle Eastern origin and my kids have her dark complexion… subsequently we can’t risk being in the wrong place at the wrong time… sadly this is America today… so for now I’ll spend my tourist dollars elsewhere 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

Not one Democratic vote in Congress for anything until Abrego Garcia is home. Not one, not for anything. It should be easy to say and easy to do. It's the absolute least they can do.

Sumy is tonight being hit by Russian ballistic missiles again - a day after Putin’s Palm Sunday massacre killed 34 locals, including 2 children in the city. Every day Trump attacks Zelensky & is silent on Putin, it emboldens the terrorist. This is Russian genocide, now enabled by Trump.

“It leads us to believe that the only reason our funding was cut is that we have been singularly vocal in our opposition to this administration’s actions.”

Nope. Predictably is not a Fed trait.

President Donald Trump lashed out at a member of the media during the press conference with El Savadoran President Nayib Bukele Monday.

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

ii miss the calm

The press content the two dictators today reminded me of this post from Just yesterday 👇

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)
