This woman has been my strength when I was weak, my carer when I was ill, raised my family of strong women. We've been through so many challenges together and came out the other side stronger. I couldn't love her more. For all those unsung heroes on #internationalwomensday, I salute you. 💪

Trump: I am the strongest, most powerful person ever! The whole world lines up to kiss my ass! Courts: Return Kilmer Abrego Garcia from the El Salvador torture prison you sent him to Trump: Sorry. No can do. Totally out of my hands

"This bullshit answer may just be enough to satisfy the Supreme Court’s order that the government do their best, but that they can’t do anything else to force Abrego Garcia’s return because of the 'due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs.'”

Is there any link between the Trump admin’s “deal” with El Salvador and Bukele’s plan for a “Bitcoin City,” which was going to be scaled back in order to receive loans from the IMF — and Trump admin’s plans to use gold reserves to buy Bitcoin? Or all just coincidence theweek.com/business/eco...

“Turkey detains two investigative journalists.” The journalists say they were held “because they investigated the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu” who is seen as “the main [political] rival to…Erdogan.” The “charges relate to ‘threats’ and ‘blackmail,’ the…prosecutor's office said.” 4/10/25

This is at odds with the idea floated by Rubio and El Salvador President that we are paying to keep prisoners there under a one-year contract - and we may have made various concessions to have El Salvador agree to it (e.g. why is DOJ all of a sudden releasing various MS13 gang members from prison?)

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

When Rubio announced the agreement with El Salvador in February he touted it as a way to outsourcing the federal prison system by allowing the US to send American citizen inmates there to serve their . This undercuts the Trump administration’s claim to the courts that it can’t get people back.

Naturally, according to Witkoff, the quickest way to stop a robbery is to let the burglar finish looting every house in the neighborhood he couldn’t reach. And, apparently, the fastest way to stop a serial killer isn’t to jail and punish him - but to bring him more victims for massacring.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development
