If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

He's wiping out your life savings, destroying the Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid upon which you were promised you could depend, ending the medical research that would protect and prolong your life and that of your families & gutting your liberties...and he doesn't care about any of it.

Seems like it would be useful to know a little bit more about the president's financial holdings, how much money he has, and where he has it as he makes decisions that are tanking the global economy. Are these decisions enriching him? Who knows! Maybe we should?

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

A lot here on the shocking facts but the key finding is those sent to CECOT are being held at the direction of the US, a contract prison including paying for it, and the government's argument they have no ongoing control over them, the ability to direct their release or return, is complete bullshit.

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York. But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

WEDBUSH: “.. We have spoken to hundreds of investors, tech CEOs, supply chain experts around the world this week .. “.. In a nutshell, if these tariffs (in current form/rates) hold there is no debate .. it would set the US tech world back a decade in our opinion while China is the clear winner.”

I live in the DC area. Every headline you read about job cuts includes someone I know. Every neighborhood. Every PTA. Every book club. Every congregation. Every poker night. Someone in all of those places has lost a job they loved, sometimes after decades of service. My community is hurting.

Last week, Republicans called immigrants "gangbangers." This week, Republicans call Jewish leaders "Fuhrer." Next week, what will they call you? The "othering" of vulnerable groups is core Nazi propaganda. Call it Republican Nazism, because it will not stop here. bsky.app/profile/leta...

Mystery solved — why did Trump list sparse or unpopulated islands and territories as tariff targets? Because it came from a list of top level DOMAINS. A Trump staffer clearly used AI to make the list — and no one corrected it before it was unveiled to destroy global markets.

But please do go on and tell me how much respect Trump has for our military. When the dude calls for martial law, our military best choose wisely. He doesn’t give a fuck about you. You’re a bunch of “losers and suckers”.

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk's latest filings include a strong set of declarations from a number of experienced immigration lawyers in MA, NH, VT, and ME who say the way Öztürk was rapidly shuttled out of state and then from place to place was highly unusual, illogical, and (by all appearances) unnecessary.

Colin Powell used the Pottery Barn rule--if you break it you own it. This adminstration breaks everything and owns nothing. It admits has wrongfully deported a Salvadoran man and claims it cannot get him back. Is the United States, is President Trump, so powerless?

It is hard to think of anything worse that a civilized society could do then to send a person who doesn’t belong there into lifelong incognito in a brutal prison abroad. The fact that Vance (a YLS grad) and Leavitt are doubling down and essentially saying “no problem “ is beyond shameful.

A fired HHS worker asks a senator about layoffs that are hurting services for “people with disabilities” and asks what he’ll do to help them. Once the senator is safely behind his staff in the elevator, he ignores the suffering & replies that the worker is a “clown” who “deserved” to be fired.
