Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

Supreme Court, if you're listening . . . SENATOR CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: "Has the Trump administration made any efforts to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return to the United States?" US EMBASSY IN EL SALVADOR: "No."

Jessica: Abrego Garcia's legal status was approved by the Trump administration in 2019, and every year since then, he has checked in with the departed of homeland security, and no one has said anything about him being a gang banger.

Elon Musk admitted DOGE is failing at its own goal. But remember, the whole reason Elon Musk is gutting our government services to find “savings” in the first place is to justify HUGE tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. This was never about efficiency.

Note to Speaker Johnson: this person was NOT a Medicaid client laying around their house watching TV. www.yahoo.com/news/dayton-...?

Trump has pretty good instincts about when he's going to be in trouble, politically or otherwise, so him explicitly giving himself plausible deniability now in his statements should be interpreted as an acknowledgment that he sees some danger in the policy in general & re Abrego Garcia specifically

Media: Joe Biden, we demand you have a granular level of knowledge about every domestic & foreign policy issue confronting our nation Also Media: Sir, your mastery of public policy is astounding even though you're just reading off a piece of paper and clearly have no idea what you're talking about

All day long yesterday, the MAGA dipshits on Elon Musk’s platform were screeching that the FSU shooter was a far-left LGBT Palestinian sympathizer antifa liberal prog. Huh. Weird. nypost.com/2025/04/18/u...

This completely alarming and important NPR and Jenna McLaughlin reporting on the unfettered access DOGE has to the federal government’s computer network, cloud, credentials, security — and a possible overlap with Russian hackers — is just beyond. No guardrails. A must-read:

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.

You are here.

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

The Republican FSU school shooter, Phoenix Ikner, was interviewed about an anti-Trump protest, where he made fun of protesters. MAGA is acting like Kyle Rittenhouse didn't attend an anti-Trump protest. Were they calling Kyle a liberal? 🙄

Columbia is proof that appeasement doesn’t work. Harvard is doing the right thing.

Food inspection is precisely the kind of thing that only the federal government can do properly at the scale needed to keep people safe. Quite literally people will die if this plan is executed. www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for the Florida State shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

Say more, Senator. Who, specifically, are you afraid of? Who do they work for? To which political party do they belong? What are they doing/saying in particular to make you afraid? Why will you not explicitly call out the perpetrators and organizers of this mass campaign of terror?

I can't wait to see this guy in the box at the war crimes trial.

Hmmmm…. If there was only some way he could have avoided all of this… apple.news/AorIfOSwaQvS...

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

What a totally not-misogynistic not-white-supremacist coincidence.

I’m sure that the White House — as focused as it is on legal and philosophical consistency and fairness — plans to target churches and other religious organizations next.

My @ragingmoderates.bsky.social co-host 👇🏻👇🏻

A Trump ally has told CNN’s parent company that they could avoid future lawsuits from the Trump administration if they make a documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Donald Trump Jr., which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money.

Our own @stuartpstevens.bsky.social has a message for Democrats: stop treating this like politics as usual. Our Democracy is being eroded, so wake up and fight before it’s too late. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/to-democra...

And “shocking abuses of power” are what, folks? Say it with me: “Impeachable offenses”

Says the guy whose charity was shut down by the state of New York for making illegal campaign contributions.

Every few weeks, I go over to FOX News' website for entertainment. I just did that and noticed..... NO commenting can be done on their stories! The comments are usually more entertaining than the "news" stories are.

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

REPORTER: Why not show the public the evidence? BONDI: Well, he is an illegal alien who has been living illegally in our country from El Salvador ... He is not coming back to our country R: But the evidence. We're not gonna see the evidence? BONDI: We have the transcripts from the court hearings

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

SCOTUS, in a 9-0 vote ruled to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. He refused. Judge Xinis ordered him to report back to her on his status. He refused. Only dictators ignore the judiciary and rule of law. Who's next? It could be anyone, if we don't continue to speak out and take to the streets.

Quite possibly the most disgusting man alive. Jesus Christ, this report.

Washington Post: "Ed Martin, now the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, did not disclose his RT and Sputnik appearances from 2016 to 2024 to the Senate." Are we supposed to be shocked that Ed didn't disclose going on Russian state media? Yet another Putin stooge.

Pam Bondi is a liar, propagandist and criminal accomplice. Kilmar Abrego Garcia never received a court hearing and due process. Pam Bondi is an eternal stain on the Justice Department and justice itself.

UPDATE: It happened. In an 11:15 meeting, employees were told that the office has been eliminated and their positions will be terminated.

Trump is requiring the United Kingdom to get rid of laws protecting LGBTQ people before he will agree to a trade deal with them.

#2 hit me differently just now. It’s not just “stay calm,” tho we should. It’s “I’m in the moment. What’s the best choice now?” You can feel urgency w/o soul-draining terror. And that realization is the root of resistance and change.

Tacky, tacky, tacky..... www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

C'mon NW Georgia! Get rid of her in the next election! MTG’s Town Hall Goes Haywire as Voters Tear Her to Shreds newrepublic.com/post/194051/...

Everyone keeps talking about how big corporations are going to get screwed by Trump's tariffs. No. They just tell suppliers "fuck you" and let them eat it. The people paying the price for this disaster are small businesses. They'll fold. Albertsons will find new suppliers as small businesses fail.
