Profile in Peril: Gaby Trump's cruel cuts will hurt a popular TV chef and U. Conn. student. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) doesn't seem to care. No paywall. Please share widely. open.substack.com/pub/virginia...

Trump: "I did it last time. And they undid it. That's why we have to stay president for a long time."

My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music. Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Rick Scott sent thoughts and prayers to Tallahassee shooting victims but no legislation to address gun violence.

It’s weird seeing “Trump” and “working out” in the same sentence, isn’t it?

As I detail in this post, part of Bukele's "truce" with MS-13 is to give them greater control over the prisons in which they are incarcerated. Which means that Abrego-Garcia was sent back to a country where he faced gang retaliation, into a confinement where MS-13 will have power over him

Trump found a better way to hurt North Carolina than eliminating FEMA. Every MAGA voter there owns this.

DHS is threatening to revoke Harvard’s ability to host international students and the IRS is looking at revoking their tax exemption. The “stop the weaponization of government” crowd sure is quiet as fuck on this one.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

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

A Trump ally has told CNN’s parent company that they could avoid future lawsuits from the Trump administration if they make a documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Donald Trump Jr., which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

WE'RE LIVE! @mayaonstage.bsky.social is joined by Adrian Bono, a political journalist and founder of The Bubble, Spain’s #1English-languagee newsletter, to discuss how societies that remember fascism are better able to avoid it. This episode is a must-watch! open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Adam, will he?

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

This is the leadership we need!

Goodnight 🌙 Fuck Marjorie Taylor Greene

Think about it people…🙄

Words alone cannot capture the depth of emotion in this testimony. A voice from the past, once fighting against extremism and fascism, now speaks with heartbreak as history threatens to repeat itself. Watch, listen, and reflect.

Undocumented immigrants paid hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes over the last 10 years — while 6 tech giants dodged $278 billion while raking in tax breaks and government contracts. But somehow immigrants are the problem.

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.”

🚨NEW: Senator Chris Van Hollen says he was just told by El Salvador’s Vice President that Garcia is still imprisoned because “the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT.”💥 This is despite him not being a MS-13 gang member nor being charged with a crime.

#ProudBlue Thank you Senator Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov for keeping your word and traveling to El Salvador, in the hopes of discussing the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Praying for your safe journey…and your safe return 🙏🏾 #ReturnKilmarNow
