Pete Hegseth has one sideburn. did the other one get shaved off as a prank or what?

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Imagine that: a drunk Fox entertainment host can't run the largest agency in the world. It's a real shocker. www.mediaite.com/politics/the...

Dark Ferris Bueller.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

Americans are entitled to and should demand better than this from the President of the United States.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BREAKING: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is firing 1,500 workers, and will soon have only about 200 remaining. That means the CFPB will be largely unable to carry out its mission of overseeing financial institutions and regulating companies that scam consumers.

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

well i am sure this administration will take strong action to make sure food safety is a top priority going forwa… hold on i am getting an update

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Time to give Palantir the Tesla and Target treatment. Make it shameful to work there. Organize rallies at their offices.

SCOOP: Internal Palantir Slack messages obtained by @josephcox.bsky.social show the company did a recent sprint to build a tool that helps ICE find the physical locations of people who have been marked for deportation. www.404media.co/leaked-palan...

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

So all 9 members of the Supreme Court, then?

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.

“So many supermodels want to date me. You don’t know any of them because they live in Canada.”

A Chicago Bulls hoodie makes Kilmar Garcia a gang member the same way a shiny gold cross makes Karoline Leavitt a Christian.

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

🤣

You think the bond markets didn’t like the tariffs, they really won’t like this ….. Also real authoritarian stuff

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

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.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

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.

FFS

Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide. That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

no criminal record no gang ties no tattoos active pending asylum case **19 years old** sent by trump to prison (forever?) in el salvador www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

According to 60 Minutes research, 90% of people sent to brutal El Salvadoran prison have NO criminal record. This is deeply upsetting. They sent another plane full yesterday. Bombard the WH with calls (202) 456-7041. And your Reps. 1 202 224 3121 Everyone deserves a hearing. That is the law.

Stephen Miller claims on Fox News that returning the Maryland father who was wrongly deported to El Salvador would constitute a "kidnapping" and "invasion of El Salvador's sovereignty." "He was not mistakenly sent to El Salvador," Miller lies. "This was the right person sent to the right place."

These are some of the most unhinged things an American politician has ever said.

Trump has fully turned on Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

There we go. Support this man.

Someone should check which Trump allies and members of Congress bought Apple/tech stock on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/t...

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

the three of us are having a conversation

🚨 From a fellow BlueSky traveler: Homeland Security stormed LA schools without a warrant, targeting kids. Principals shut them down. Schools are not battlegrounds. We will not let our communities be terrorized. Stand up and fight back. #ProtectOurKids #DefendOurSchools

The takeaway here is that they'd rather let your kids go hungry than let trans kids be themselves

Trump took his tariff insider trading scheme to Congress and made Marjorie Taylor Greene an offer she couldn’t refuse. MTG is now a gleeful participant in Trump’s crime spree.
