NEW: The Trump administration plans to end the IRS Direct File program for free tax filing. He’s not only raising your taxes, he wants to make them harder and more expensive to file.

Today @vanhollen.senate.gov was denied entry to the same prison.

TV Premiere Dates: www.metacritic.com/news/tv-prem... July 9 - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FXX / Hulu 7/10) - The 17th season of TV's longest-running live-action comedy includes a continuation of a recent crossover with Abbott Elementary.

Chinese refiners are importing record amounts of Canadian crude after slashing purchases of US oil by roughly 90% amid escalating trade tensions

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

"If the U.S. government can disappear a person legally residing here with a wife and child who are U.S. citizens and then fart around as if federal court orders are meaningless, the idea of America is pretty much shot." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this: Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget. None of their destruction is actually about saving money.

Once again sharing this info. Please share with your friends and loved ones in the National Guard or active duty military.

He still doesn't know who started the war. Or pretends not to know

I blame Chief Justice Roberts. He clearly has no idea who he is dealing with in Trump. He is allowing Alito and Thomas to frog-march America into full-blown fascism. The April 10 SCOTUS order was an abomination—and I and many others _instantly_ saw (and said) that it would lead us where we are now.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Trump confirms his plan to send incarcerated U.S. citizens to El Salvador. Can you hear me now? www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar...

This guy released dangerous criminals convicted of violently assaulting police officers into our streets.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

DOGE promised to cut 2 trillion. Then it was one trillion. Now it’s only 150 billion. And spending has increased. At what point does the experiment end?

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal Someday, there must be justice. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Now that’s how you write a headline.

Seems pretty clear that doge is a total scam

We just need to turn the negative productivity of scientists at NASA and IRS auditors that DOGE fired to gainfully making shoes in Nike factories reshored from Vietnam. This is the groundbreaking economic thinking of communist purges from Mao to Pol Pot with a sprinkle of American Exceptionalism.

I’m told this can’t win because it’s unpopular so the smart play is for Democrats to suck up to conservatives in order to win the votes of 9 bigots who don’t like spray tan.

Trump just totally ignored Cheryl Hines at UFC 🤣….love this for her!

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer.  So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

Well, in fairness, it’s Russia first, then Greenland, then North Korea, then the U.S.

Someone please explain the reason for this to me as if I’m a child

We stand by our reporting. So read it here:

Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app. Pure corruption.

An Australian man with a US work visa was detained upon reentry, called a “retard” and told, “Trump is back in town; we’re doing things the way we should have always been doing them.” He was held with 100 people including many Canadians. Posters celebrating equity had DEI scribbled out in marker.

All this must be destroyed

my 90 year old dad who has never touched a computer in his life will appreciate getting all the hot scoops on why his payment didn't arrive over on X, the very serious platform run by very serious people

Surely this is some sort of violation. Most people don't use Twitter, especially senior citizens, regardless of what Elon wants to think.

‼️ Further, the Social Security Administration will shift its public communication exclusively to X. ‼️ ==> There will be 90% fewer people to answer questions and make sure checks arrive on time. This is NOT how we respect and take care of our seniors. #MomSky www.wired.com/story/social...

The failure isn’t the insane President. The failure is all the supposedly sane people pretending he’s not.

Trump: "We're gonna get good elections pretty soon. There's a lot of clamor for it ... the states are just an agent of the federal government."

Donald Trump said his tariffs would help our farmers. But the real cost of his self-inflicted tax will hit them hard, potentially putting many just one crop away from bankruptcy. How American can that be?

House Speaker Johnson is eyeing big cuts to Medicaid. Nearly 40% of the people in his district in Louisiana rely on it

Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward. This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda. 🔗: www.axios.com/newsletters/...

Trump and Musk have imposed a downsizing of the Social Security Administration by cutting 7,000 jobs, including many IT positions. As a result retirees and disabled people are facing chronic SSA website outages as they attempt to log in to their online Social Security accounts. wapo.st/3FXUSdu

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

The fires of hell are not hot enough for the people who did this to him and so many others. They WANTED innocent people to be caught up in this cruelty. That's why this evil government insisted on no due process.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

the sick thing is, we have an actual policy that was revitalizing US manufacturing without relying on the nimble hands of underpaid 10yo wastrels it’s called the Inflation Reduction Act and they are shoving it into the wood chipper

I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S. This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S. #handsoff

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.
