BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com

Unreal

“The truth is that a tattoo identifying Tren de Aragua does not exist,” she told me. “Tren de Aragua does not use any tattoos as a form of gang identification; no Venezuelan gang does.”

Glenn once wrote a book about how it was bad that elites didn’t face consequences for their crimes

there are those in this world with only evil in their soul

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.

I don't give a shit what he chooses or declines to rule out. It's not his fucking choice. Stop writing about it as if his opinion matters. Write about it like it is: unquestionably illegal, not a debate, not his call, not going to fucking happen.

Not surprising but absolutely wild to go on stage and blame bad things on a nefarious billionaire who is pulling on the puppet strings of politics while you are the richest man in the world who is on stage because he's spending millions trying to influence an election!

I know it’s obvious and everyone has pointed this out but the richest man in the world is giving out million dollar checks to buy an election and also going “watch out: there’s a rich guy trying to influence this election!”

There are not "methods for doing so" and it continues to be extremely irresponsible of news orgs to not flatly point this fact out

The “methods for doing so” are (1) getting two thirds of Congress and three fourths of the states to repeal the 22nd Amendment and (2) declaring himself king. That’s it. Stop treating this despotic bullshit as if it’s some worthwhile thought experiment we have to consider as legitimate.

I'd read a long essay not only on this phenomenon but why the Democratic Party and the press seem determined to ignore it.

Paige Bueckers has set a new UConn WBB record for points in an NCAA Tournament game in today's win over Oklahoma 🔥 ◽ 40 PTS ◽ 16/27 FG ◽ 6/8 3-PT FG

pedocon theory on its way to becoming a scientific law

Here is a sitting Democratic Congressmember pointing out that the US bombing Yemen is a war crime. This is possible! It is a thing you can do, if you're an elected official.

All the right's fearmongering over George Soros, and this guy is literally out here buying votes for the world to see.

the incentive to lie and act like a piece of shit on a daily basis need to be ripped away

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

Appalling anti-American principles being advanced by the Secretary of State.

Just wasted four minutes thinking of how Rs would dunk on Ds if their social media referred to bullets as “freedom seeds.”

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is really depraved.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

The "Is it a constitutional crisis yet?!" discussion is so absurd: Of course you can construct increasingly esoteric definitions for why this current moment doesn't meet your exact criteria yet. But meanwhile, this is where we are: Masked agents of the states abducting people for writing op-eds.

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

me coming in guns-a-blazing, with absolute certainty and confidence that what I say next will eliminate any doubt about my competence

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

There was one singular person the Trump team wanted to kill. They thought they tracked him to his girlfriend’s place, presumably in a civilian apartment building in Sana’a. So they dropped bombs on the neighborhood and leveled the building. Reactions from the group: “amazing job” “Excellent” “👊🇺🇸💥”

Read for yourself: Here are the attack plans that Trump advisers shared on Signal. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Now he wants to pay his brownshirts. But with your money, not his.

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration admits he retaliated against the entire population of Maine—mostly newborn babies and their parents—because he thought the state’s governor had been rude to Trump in a White House meeting. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...

there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all

It should be a major scandal that the Social Security Administration made it harder for parents to register their babies in Maine to punish the President's enemies www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...

Government efficiency at work.

holy shit www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

congestion pricing is one of the most comprehensively successful policies NYC has ever seen, so of course all the worst people want to get rid of it

One of the rationales of voting for Trump was “He’s a billionaire so he can’t be bought.” No US politician has ever been so overtly purchased.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

So we’ve got two competing schools of what the Democratic Party should do next. One of them is hosting the largest political rallies in history in places like New Hampshire and Arizona, and the other one just got $120 million from Silicon Valley and is on a book tour.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Donald Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary has financial advice for Americans: 1. Please buy Tesla stock to help poor Elon Musk. 2. Shut up and don’t complain when you don’t get your Social Security check.

They’re best friends. The big dead pedophile and the permanent president are best friends.

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

if the democratic party had a functional propaganda arm it could make a lot of hay of the fact that a non-trivial number of MAGA personalities and politicians are child sex offenders

I think disappearing people who are here legally because the state disagreed with their speech is Bad but I don’t have a law degree so what do I know
