If Trump made the request, President Bukele of El Salvador could fly Kilmar Abrego García home to America. If necessary, the Trump regime could pay for Abrego García’s safe return. That would certainly qualify as “facilitating.”

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

Donald Trump is celebrating the victory that he’s not officially a comatosed vegetable. Big win there.

Is there any link between the Trump admin’s “deal” with El Salvador and Bukele’s plan for a “Bitcoin City,” which was going to be scaled back in order to receive loans from the IMF — and Trump admin’s plans to use gold reserves to buy Bitcoin? Or all just coincidence theweek.com/business/eco...

I could be wrong, but this sounds like an admission of a human trafficking conspiracy.

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, and Khanna rising to the occasion.

As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback. Thanks and Happy Pesach!

Some news from the man who lies about everything

Judge Xinis said Friday “There are no business hours in this court.” I’ll be keeping an eye on her docket this evening given Trump’s late and insufficient response to her order, and Abrego Garcia’s motion to show cause. Not to mention Trump’s assertion that Bukele has sole custody.

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

Apparently Mahmoud Khalil's being deported because the "evidence" is a letter from Marco Rubio, and the law says the secretary of state can PERSONALLY determine who to deport. Wtf.

Poll: 46% of GOP Voters Back Military Detention Camps for Immigrants

NEW: A US State Department official tells Judge Xinis that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive and being held in the CECOT prison, "detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Fed up of this hypocrisy!

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

What’s the statute of limitations on market manipulation and insider trading? Asking for 75 million friends!

Mortgage refinance rejections hit a record high, with nearly 45% of applications denied, per the New York Fed. The spike reflects rising interest rates and stricter credit standards, leaving more homeowners locked out of potential relief.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

If they're not paying taxes, what are they doing in IRS records? Sounds rather ironic!

So all the White House political reporters are spending the weekend getting up to speed on the Abrego Garcia case and litigation related to the gulag in El Salvador so that they can prep good questions for Bukele’s visit on Monday, right? Right????????

NEW: It’s 5 p.m. ET, and DOJ is officially late on its first daily court-mandated report on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🍿🍿🍿 Share this if you want to see a one-on-one debate between Hakeem Jeffries and Mike Johnson on the House floor over the budget resolution.

It was Republicans and their desire for cheap Chinese products that made China so powerful. Half of our prescription meds are manufactured there now, great plan to start a trade war. Is there a strategy? 🤷‍♀️

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.)

Not surprised in the least.

Can you believe we all debated about transitory inflation and soft landings for 3 whole years?
