I wonder how the Supreme Court feels about granting Donald Trump immunity for official acts now that one of those official acts is telling the Supreme Court to shove their ruling and fuck the fuck off.

Now do the crucifix.

Catch 22 redux: The Oval office meeting with El Salvador president. US position: the decision to return Garcia is out of our hands. El Salvador position: the decision to return Garcia is out of our hands.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The administration that called Canada “the 51st state” and said “we’re going to get” Greenland is suddenly cowed by sovereignty.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

Let me clarify, bc there are a lot of other facts that are important too. These all take Trump at his claimed word, to want to combat fraud, antisemitism, and China--that's what right wingers claim they're getting w/Trump. Only Trump has failed them all.

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)

“We are definitely on a path towards full-on stage repression.” - Fiona Hill, Former Trump senior director for European & Russian affairs on the National Security Council

🚨TARIFF UPDATE: Tariffs are non-negotiable, negotiable, but not a negotiating tactic. They are permanent until they are paused but they will never be paused, until they are paused which means they increase. Permanent exemptions already announced are temporary, but nothing has been announced. 🤡🎪

Pretty clear now Trump and Miller are proud of this Salvadoran gulag they've built, and are not going to give it up. It's complete madness. bsky.app/profile/asha...

The main question I want the press to ask Bukele when he's hear: 1. What is your response to @dropsitenews.com reporting that you are taking US prisoners because Trump is dropping charges & deporting Salvadoran gang members who can credibly speak to your participation in a gang truce?

My latest at @msnbc.com: "Every member of Congress, like the nation as a whole, faces a binary choice: It’s Trump or the Constitution. We can have one or the other but not both."

From Fox Business analyst, after Howard Lutnick said this morning on the Sunday shows that the tariff exemptions on tech were only temporary.

Last July, Project 2025's Kevin Roberts said “the second American Revolution ... will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” It was a declaration of war against the American people, a demand for our surrender. Some cowards in law, academia and business have submitted. Many of us never will.

I’m not a Christian but this spoke to me. If you are, read this and carry it with you into your Holy Week.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

Here is a bit more about the author of the law that Rubio is saying that he is using to combat antisemitism. It removes the need for the Sec of State to provide any sort of justification for deporting people he sees at odds with the foreign interests of the US. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Statement from Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro: "Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg." State police are investigating the arson.

Passover celebrates the Jews breaking free from the bondage of tyrants, and the worshipping of false, golden idols some 3,200 years ago—so glad we got all that out of the way and don’t have to deal with that kind of shit today.

"He took his case to Europe. For closed-door meetings with EU’s heavy hitters. Japan was in the room too, listening closely. The pitch was simple: if Trump went too far with tariffs, Canada would start offloading Treasury bonds. A slow, steady bleed...." deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-ch...

The administration is going to run into a legal bind. (1) As a baseline OUTER limit, the written agreement with El Salvador is limited to 1 year. (2) The text reads: "pending the United States’ decision on their long term disposition."

Consumer sentiment is now lower than it was during the Great Recession and the second lowest reading since 1952. The guy who inherited hundreds of millions from his father and squandered it now inherited an economy that was the envy of the world and squandered it.

And wait until we see, on the other side of the ledger, higher borrowing costs (from decreased demand for Treasury securities) and decreased revenues (from laxer tax enforcement if not also tax cuts).

Thanks trump

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

Dr. Peter Marks, recently pushed out of FDA, told us he believes the measles outbreak is being underreported. He says the case count is likely 3-7x higher, saying we could actually have as many as 3,000 cases. Yesterday, Sec'y Kennedy said we had 600+ cases and the outbreak was under control.

Disgraced former congressman that likes to hook up with women under 18?

Just kleptocracy taking hold, nothing to see here.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Oooh, I've got some anti-Christian bias to report; the current administration that targeting Catholics and Lutherans who work with migrants.

Right, because Grandma is on X. This is corruption, plain and simple.
