Three co-equal branches of government. When the executive branch ignores the orders of the judicial branch, we have a constitutional crisis.

Bernie Sanders makes surprise appearance at Coachella, draws massive crowd

Trump tells Fox News "I would love to do that" when asked by Rachel Campos-Duffy if we will send "homegrown criminals" to El Salvador prisons. "We’re looking into it and want to do it."

BREAKING NEWS!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

Amidst all the chaos in our country, the media is supposed to be the institution to hold our leaders accountable. I sit down with Ron Fournier to talk about the lack of spine in our media and the need for a new political movement to unite America. Watch here: youtu.be/s_USyn-riPc

They didn’t just send Abrego Garcia “back to El Salvador”, they sent him to a fucking torture prison. They didn’t send him “back to where he was from.” They sent him to his death. They cannot prove he was a “terrorist”. They took him by “mistake.” And they do not fucking care.

It took awhile for the reporters in the Oval Office to ask about bringing Kilmer Abrego Garcia back today. @adr1600 says the media is somewhat complicit.

They should cancel the Olympics here. The world doesn't need to reward the hate permeating from this once great nation that is no longer great, but run by criminals with no respect for the law. I'm in L.A. and I say this. You may send people who won't return. Just say no the USA Olympics, world

The crazy thing about humans is this: We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth. The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first. That’s it. The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice. Greed is holding us back.

Just updated this timeline to fix a typo and address an error in the last box where I'd gotten the manner of arrest wrong. I present the full version Mr. Abrego's time in the United States, using court documents to explain the allegations of gang membership and what actually happened in his case.

OPINION: Weissmann on Trump’s deportations: ‘It is up to the Supreme Court to show some backbone’ Nicolle Wallace, Andrew Weissmann and panel discuss what comes next for the American judicial system with the Trump admin. willfully defying court orders www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a-_...

WATCH: We asked Rep. Lee Reeves if the bill he & Sen. Jack Johnson just passed to strip local TN GOP county parties of the ability to hold caucuses or conventions instead of primaries impacts their wives’ local WILLIAMSON COUNTY school board/judge races. (Spoiler: yes)

. Let’s be clear: Mohsen Mahdawi wasn’t detained for paperwork he was targeted for protesting genocide. When immigration is weaponized to silence dissent, that’s not democracy. That’s authoritarianism in plain sight. .

You guys, it's my first by-line. #NotAJournalist www.435news.com/protest-in-a...

All charter airlines should refuse to take people to El Salvador prisons All have were sent without the hearing everyone is entitled to. ( regardless of citizenship etc)

"Tracking the official deportation numbers is difficult because the Trump administration has stopped publishing the Office of Homeland Security Statistics’ detailed monthly accounting of immigration enforcement activities." wapo.st/3Rl7Ggt

The number of abortions in the US rose in 2024, a study found. But fewer people crossed state lines for them. The availability of pills is a factor, and advocates say costs and logistical concerns also mean some who would consider abortion lack access.

NEW: We already broke the ICE tip line! The “Good Trouble” segment for the Daily Beans podcast today was to flood the ICE tip line with reports about Elon. Well done everyone! See the next post in this thread for what happened when I managed to get through 1/

In case anybody had any doubt about what he meant with his gay-bashing swipe at @anthonymkreis.bsky.social, here's Randy Barnett eagerly endorsing "CrusaderPepe" wailing about how libertarians are wrong to not fight "degeneracy" with a rainbow flag as his top example. Utterly disgusting.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for obtaining this horrifying video where tRump admits his plan to deport American Citizens to El Salvador prisons. THIS IS FACISM. SPEAK UP. SPEAK OUT. YOU ARE NOT SAFE IN THIS COUNTRY. YOUR CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE. FIGHT BACK! #DemVoice1

Only approx 12 of these people have violent criminal records. 12. Only 22% had any kind of record. Only 12 of that 22% had violent records. 75% have NO RECORDS in either country. The US Gov is lying and calling them all criminals anyway. (OG Post link in comments) #truth #elsalvador #KAG

Donnie, who thinks he can suspend everyone's 5th amendment right to due process, has publicly stated that he's looking into imprisoning US citizens in foreign prisons. Video 1/2

I agree with him…

JUST IN: A federal judge has halted Trump administration’s early termination of programs that admitted hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans into the United States. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Trump claims to Fox News that the money he brings in from tariffs "could be so great it would replace" income taxes.

A reminder that Donald Trump caused bankruptcies of farmers to skyrocket during his first term, even with his bailouts which totaled more than $28 billion. He's in the process of doing it again with his absurd tariffs and trade war with China, that Biden had nothing to do with.

The top 400 billionaires pay an average federal income tax rate of just 8% when the growth in the value of their stock holdings is included in their income. That’s little more than half the 14.9% average income tax rate that all taxpayers pay. #BillionaireTaxBailout

Trump is turning off Independents in record numbers, especially on the economy

I love this lady. She provides news and information with sympathy and compassion. Her comment that the US is a backsliding democracy is on point. Thank you GOP for destroying us.

JDVance gets schooled by his fellow Yale Law alumnus.

When an administration is openly defying Supreme Court orders, none of us are safe. I served in the Navy in places where people were picked up off the streets. As governor, I’ll always defend the constitutional rights of New Jerseyans.

Another Federal Judge, U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani, stood up to Trump🔥 She blocked his unconstitutional attempt to revoke the TPS status of over a half million migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, & Venezuela. Deep respect and admiration for these Judges💙 www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tru...

Tourism in America? LOLZ Yeah, say goodbye to that 🤣

Looks like China doesn’t need the USA is done with us (until Trump is out).

Hands Off Social Security rally TODAY at 12:30pm PT in Oceanside, CA

70 Michigan students are facing deportation. No explanation. No due process. Just revenge. This is Trump making good on his threat to punish student protestors—and using immigration as his weapon. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s already here.

Kristi Noem reportedly: – spoiled an ICE operation by announcing it to the world as it was ongoing – earmarked *$200 million* for an ad campaign featuring herself – tried to install a 28-year-old who worked on her reelection campaign as acting ICE director. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

"though he doesn’t appear to have any special expertise on environmental matters, he does have important connections. His name is Matt Luby and he’s Vivek Ramaswamy’s best friend from high school" new from @jamesctobias.bsky.social www.publicdomain.media/p/vivek-rama...

This administration’s chaos is tearing families apart, including this 19-year-old from the Bronx who was sent to prison in El Salvador and taken away from his father.   All those sent to this dangerous prison without due process must be released.   Now.
