I wrote about the contrived, retconned allegations against Abrego Garcia in April. There is absolutely no reason to think that the government is charging him based on anything other than the administration trying to save face. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

So to review: 1. He never should have been deported. The admin admitted that. 2. The admin said he was an MS-13 member and also they couldn’t get him back. They lied. 3. They are now charging him with a crime that they did not mention until literally now.

MAJOR UPDATE: The Supreme Court just handed DOGE the keys to all the sensitive personal information Social Security has on file — your income, benefits, health records, and more. Why do Donald Trump and his cronies need access to millions of Americans’ private data? It’s absurd.

Getting out of DC isn’t just about location, it’s a state of mind. The future of the party needs to be mapped by people like me who grew up, lived, and worked in normal America. The highly informed policy wonks from the DC bubble are not the people to save us.

The GOP broke the law to deport this man—then decided to indict him. Court order? Ignored. Due process? Tossed. Now they want credit for “law and order”? Chile, please. Y’all did the process completely backwards. This is Trump’s America: lawless, reckless, and cruel.

It’s the best day ever over on Twitter. Dems should take the 20 million they’re blowing to figure out what many of us could tell them for free: that men see Ds as weak, and instead spend it telling America that Trump’s coming for their earned benefits.
