Carney: Donald Trump is trying to break us so the U.S. can own us. They want our land. They want our resources. They want our water. They want our country. And we're all going to stand up against Donald Trump

This guy's a hero. Good shit, Senator.

BREAKING US Senator Chris Van Hollen confirms he was able to meet with his constituent Kilmar Abrego Garcia Abrego Garcia is currently imprisoned in El Salvador after being deported there by error (according to the Trump administration’s initial statements).

"We in the philanthropic community must not wait like sitting ducks. We must prepare and unite to defend our freedom to support the millions of people who rely on charitable foundations to build stronger, healthier communities and opportunities for all." - @guitarwatson.bsky.social

Full stop

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to ā€œcrap, this was not the interview I prepped!ā€ but the result was memorable.)

An appeals court denied an effort by the Trump administration to halt a US judge’s effort to facilitate the return of a Maryland man wrongly deported to a prison in El Salvador, saying the government's conduct was shocking to Americans’ ā€œsense of liberty." From David Voreacos: buff.ly/EO1hCyx

The Trump administration is allegedly paying El Salvador to defy a U.S. Supreme Court order to repatriate an American citizen wrongfully expelled. This is state-sponsored kidnapping, masked as foreign policy.

"In the days since, the Trump administration has come closer than any administration in my lifetime to directly defying the Supreme Court. It shared no meaningful information with the District Court and appears to be doing exactly nothing to secure Abrego Garcia’s release."

. @nytimes.com trying to claim Trump's popularity remains stable. Their editorial decisions continue to mystify.

It’s horrific that there are students who lived through Parkland and are now going through a second school shooting at FSU. The government has failed our children. It doesn’t have to be this way.

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

Experts say that countries that warrant that paranoid approach to travel might include not just Russia and China but also the United States. Here are a few steps you can take to minimize the risk of Customs and Border Protection accessing your data.

Fire and brimstone from the fourth circuit šŸ”„

Trump’s latest scheme to pay for tax cuts for billionaires: www.axios.com/2025/04/17/t...

Every day, it just gets worse. Now Elon’s staff is moving to hide their actions — by secretly using Starlink.

During his first term, the šŸŠšŸ’©šŸ¤“ had 7 associates and his bookkeeper sent to jail, and 6 lawyers lost their licenses. Why would anyone give this criminal a second chance and yet here we are again with members of his cabinet possibly going to jail for contempt of court for defying US judges.

🤣

The Trump administration canceled $400 million of federal funding to Columbia, but New York’s Ivy League university keeps handing millions to the president. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

DOGE is shaping up to be the biggest failure of all time. All pain. No gain. Shrouded in secrecy, lies, and false projections. A scam on the American people.

If Trump’s erratic behavior feels like it’s accelerating, that’s because it is. An important message from our founder:

"these are taxes that are really going to hit the American working and middle class harder than any other part of the economy."

American Oversight put together a timeline showing how participants in the Waltz/Hegseth Signal chat continued to make changes AFTER Judge Boasberg ordered them to preserve the chat. But that's ALSO after Wicker and Reed asked DOD IG to investigate. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump admin is again openly defying a court order. He is making a mockery of our Constitution. How much will Congress tolerate? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...

Only about 10% of taxpayers who itemize are eligible to take the state and local tax deduction that lawmakers are trying to boost, a Bloomberg News analysis shows

This video Paige and I did explaining what happened in court today is going viral. Thank you for all the nice comments and to the thousands of new subscribers. I hope you find it useful. youtu.be/5HRmolBoM_k

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

The government knows Abrego Garcia is not a criminal The government knows Abrego Garcia was protected from deportation - under Trump in 2019 The government admits that forcibly removing Abrego Garcia to El Salvador was an "administrative error" CASE CLOSED - BRING HIM HOME

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Honestly this is disgusting and ignorant, I’m speechless.

Chief Judge Boasberg's probable cause ruling is *not* an appealable order. DOJ can ask the D.C. Circuit for an extraordinary writ of mandamus, but that requires showing that the district court ruling both (1) was clearly wrong; and (2) is not otherwise capable of being remedied on a future appeal.

JUST IN: The National Labor Relations Board told employees Wednesday that DOGE staffers would be assigned to the agency, one day after a whistleblower alleged DOGE may have removed sensitive NLRB data.

Of course with U.S. citizens it wouldn’t be deportation. It would be expulsion. Banishment. And unconstitutional.

While this toll scam isn’t new, it is becoming more prevalent, particularly in West Michigan. www.mlive.com/news/2025/04...

Trump admin just blatantly telling the courts to eff off now.

The IRS lists six reasons it can revoke 501(c)(3) status. Not one applies to Harvard: āž”ļøoperation for private benefit/inurement āž”ļøexcess lobbying āž”ļøelectoral activity āž”ļøexcess unrelated business income āž”ļøfail to file three straight 990 annual returns āž”ļøno longer being operated for original exempt purposes

El Salvador allowed Republican Rep. Riley Moore to tour CECOT yesterday—but denied access to Democrat Sen. Chris Van Hollen today. What could they possibly be hiding that only the GOP is willing to overlook?

Senator Chris Van Hollen says that he hasn’t been able to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia nor has he been able to have a phone call with him. He doesn’t know his health status. Unacceptable. El Salvador needs to show proof of life!!!!!

The judge finds probable cause to hold Trump's admin in contempt. Oh, what a shock—Team Chaos broke the law again. Who’d have guessed? Lock in for the legal circus! #TrumpContempt #JusticeServed

Something has changed. People are fired up and ready to stop the chaos and cruelty. Keep it up.

oh ok give me a moment while I look for my shocked face šŸ™„ oh wait that’s not it 🤮dang where is it šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«oh wait here it is 😱

Yes...we are there. Now let's act like it. My latest.

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.
