or Lindsey Graham

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

JUST IN: Five Jan. 6 prosecutors are joining a group of prominent Trump critics to urge the DC Bar’s disciplinary office to investigate U.S. Attorney Ed Martin. They include: Matt Beckwith, Sean Brennan, Isia Jasiewicz. Brendan Ballou and Mike Romano societyfortheruleoflaw.org/ed-martin-co...

"The Camp of the Saints" remains, and so does "Mein Kampf." Okay. I agree. But the cadets' tender eyes must not fall on Barbara and Karen Fields's book on race? Madness, and a national embarrassment. (Barbara is one of the best teachers I ever had.) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

SCOOP: Much of the IT and cybersecurity infrastructure underpinning the US health system is in danger of a possible collapse following a purge of IT staff and leadership at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), four current and former agency workers tell WIRED.

Last week on the LP Podcast, @ritholtz.bsky.social explains why tariffs are not bringing back your manufacturing job, and they never will. Watch the full episode here: youtu.be/9B3q5-3vjtY

Trump's executive orders targeting law firms are unconstitutional and threaten judicial independence. Firms should sue to stop them, Adam Unikowsky argues.

I can’t believe he’s not wearing a tie. Outrageous display of disrespect.

This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper. And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that. Gift link wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has “100% hatred” toward Russian leader Vladimir Putin. “How else can you see a person who came here and murdered our people, murdered children?” says Zelenskyy. https://cbsn.ws/3YyaIlp

The Supreme Court granted Trump de facto impunity for his personal crimes ... and then expected him to obey their judicial orders? Impunity is impunity.

“Nayib Bukele is a minor strongman who will do whatever Donald Trump demands of him. If Trump wants Abrego Garcia in the United States, then Bukele will return him. If Bukele understands that Trump does not want Abrego Garcia returned, then he will keep the man.” www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

Sarah Longwell explains the significance of Trump’s falling approval rating on the economy, why a gradual and steady decline might be particularly ominous, what Democrats should and shouldn’t be saying, and what each of us can do to make a difference. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-can-...

Because Trump is on Putin’s side, these are words Trump will never say.👇

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

It's going to be his financial Covid. Only totally self-inflected and it will take longer to recover from.

When I was in 9th grade the coach told me my sweater made me look gay. I replied that was good, as I was trying to get his wife to leave me alone. And that's the real reason why I failed gym.

It’s okay—I can just sleep on the floor like, you know, a dog or something

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

❗️"Iran, North Korea, China are already involved in the war, Putin has spent $1 trillion on it in 3 years," — Zelensky ▪️We are stronger on the battlefield, but the imbalance of partners is happening; ▪️We do not have enough air defense systems. We need at least 10 systems to cover only civilians.

🇺🇸❗️“I believe that Russian narratives prevail in the United States. It seems to me that the vice president is justifying Putin’s actions. This is a change in reality. The Russians are the aggressors, and we are the victims,” — Zelensky.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

“What did they have that eludes their lesser-known heirs today? The answer is that Kissinger & Brzezinski were immigrants. Newcomers often value America’s freedoms more than its native-born and are statistically far likelier to start companies, win Nobel Prizes & launch schools of thought.” ~Ed Luce

It’s nesting season for roseate spoonbills. I saw this one sleeping on its nest in the Orlando Wetlands. #SleepingSpooney #Birding

Make it make sense

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

It appears that we are no longer a Constitutional Republic. 😡⚖️

Seems pretty clear that doge is a total scam

Just think about what this authoritarian coward is saying. He’s saying he has the power to deport people without any due process, but when it comes to bringing back the ones who were mistakenly deported, he says he’s utterly powerless. The courts must slap him hard.👇

Technically, I worked in the domestic shop under Mr. Haldeman, but President Nixon asked me informally to try to sit in over on the foreign policy side to keep an eye on Henry

Aspiring Nazi who wanted to overthrow the government. You'll rarely hear MAGA and Republicans talk about white supremacist terrorists. abcnews.go.com/US/wisconsin...

Like delicate cherry blossoms dancing in the spring breeze, our time here is beautiful but brief. Why waste these precious moments building walls when we could be building bridges? Let's pause, breathe deeply, and allow joy to bloom in our hearts like flowers reaching for the sun.

Trump now saying — contrary to his previous statements and those of federal officials — that people removed from the U.S. to El Salvador are in the “sole custody” of El Salvador

More than 20 dead in Sumy after russian attack, according to local media. ❗️ Warning, the video contains sensitive material! Trump this morning: "We are making good progress in peace negotiations with russia."

“For electronics, at least, we’re now putting much higher tariffs on intermediate goods used in manufacturing than on final goods. This actually discourages manufacturing in the United States.”

😢 Zelensky: Sumy. The world must respond firmly. The US, Europe, everyone in the world who wants this war and these killings to end. Russia wants exactly this kind of terror and is dragging this war out. Without pressure on Russia, peace is impossible.

What’s the statute of limitations on market manipulation and insider trading? Asking for 75 million friends!

I know times are bad because any date from the future (2034, 2078, 2026) sounds like it could be the title of a post-apocalyptic movie.

Me, June 6, 2024: “Conway envisioned [that if reelected] Trump would ‘try to violate every law,’ [and] predicted to host Ronny Chieng … ‘You’re gonna see capital flow, both human and financial, like we’ve never seen from the U.S. before.’”

Russian terrorist attack in Sumy, Ukraine today, Palm Sunday. Latest: 31 killed including 1 child, a further 84 injured. It is impossible not to conclude that Putin has been emboldened by Trump. This, just hours after Witkoff’s disgraceful pandering to Putin. (🎥 Euromaidan)

“If I were president… I will end that war in one day, it would take 24 hours.” “I would get that ended in a period of 24 hours. It would be easy, that deal would be easy.” Instead, he grants his fellow psychopath latitude for ongoing mass murder. Insults Zelenskyy. Envoy: “Putin’s not a bad guy.”
