DOOCY: Deporting American citizens to Central American prisons -- is it legal? LEAVITT: Well, it's another question that the president has raised. It's a legal question that the president is looking into.

Republicans could stop this at any time. Republicans could stop all of this at any time.

Another packed auditorium for Bernie Sanders and AOC at the Fight Oligarchy event in Bakersfield, California. Love to see it!

Can we all sue? This is awful.

Sarah Wynn-Williams, ex Meta Facebook exec and author of Careless people is BRAVE. I remember a long time ago Zuck talked about wanting to be president. Hope his buying a house in DC isn’t the start to more oligarchy ish. youtu.be/WbuBdHqYENM?...

😕🇺🇸

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

Yes. He said this out loud in the Oval Office. You can’t deport a U.S. Citizen. That’s not deportation.

@vanhollen.senate.gov is braver than every Republican in Congress right now.

@vanhollen.senate.gov is it possible they won’t return him because they can’t? Is it possible they sent these men to their deaths for $6 million per year? Are we the taxpayers complicit in creating death camps?

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.

@marcelias.bsky.social is it possible that Kilmar and the other sent to CECOT were sent to their deaths? That’s why they won’t bring him home?

Is it possible that CECOT is actually a death camp and that they won’t bring Kilmar home because they can’t and that goes for the others as well?

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

it's wild that today ICE was just like, "we're the thought police" unironically

I heart @brooke — telling a suicide bomber who blew up the economy due for no reason that he is brilliant is peak beta chode for Ackman.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

Didn’t this mfer get a government grant? Some people are just absolute 💩

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Do we know yet what happened to Xiaofeng Wang?

Overnight, attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia filed a short but satisfying bonus reply brief with SCOTUS, taking issue with two brand-new factual claims in the govt's latest brief. 🧵 www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Not sure who needs to hear this but one cannot “deport” a citizen. Thank you.

Well, not the best lives. There is a reason it got this bad. Give us nationalized healthcare and equality across the board and we would be enviable.

Elections have consequences

And just to be obvious, if this isn’t the moment to use every parliamentary procedure possible to hold the legislative branch hostage until the executive branch is brought under control, then there is no point to having a legislature at all

mark zuckerberg's just bought a house in DC. what post is he about to get? I hope it involves ethics. he's so good at that

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

If you have ever had a relationship with a narcissistic partner or parent, you will recognize this kind of dumping.

In theory this nightmare could end today:

I just learned that the entire press team at the FDA was fired last week. The *entire* press team. It's difficult to grasp how bizarre this is. To wrap my brain around the idea, I made a list of things the FDA is responsible for, and that reporters now have no one at the agency to ask about... 🧪🛟

Abolish ICE.

This guy is the biggest pick me girl since Pearl.

I’m sitting here working my butt off doing the good citizen thing and meanwhile our government who is supposed to be working for us and helping us with our pursuit of happiness is just trying to legislate their misogynist sexist bigoted bullshit on all of us.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.
