The kids are the adults in the room.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Very eye-opening piece here. In a nutshell, Bukele cut a deal with MS-13 to operate freely but with less violence, Trump sends indicted MS-13 bigwigs back to El Salvador for kid glove treatment and dismisses charges that would have exposed all this. Security theater for all involved.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

BREAKING: Republican-majority panel of the Republican-majority NC Court of Appeals rules 2-1 that the Republican candidate for Supreme Court (their colleague on the Court of Appeals) wins the election even though he got several hundred fewer votes than the Dem appellate.nccourts.org/opinions/?c=...

NEW: The ACLU has filed a sworn declaration from a Venezuelan woman who ICE sought to turn over to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, who declares that "I heard two US government officials talking and they said 'there is an order saying we can’t take off but we already have.'"

Oil and gas industry wants to be able to dump highly toxic fracking wastewater—full of benzene and heavy metals, often radioactive—with more abandon, including in rivers and streams, and White House is open to that. insideclimatenews.org/news/2003202...

We are in the midst of an authoritarian takeover. From holding universities hostage to stealing your Social Security to tanking the economy, everything we hold dear as Americans is being stripped away. Nobody is going to save us; we have to save ourselves.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

There are enough ridiculous things he says and does without needing to make them up. www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

Good rule of thumb for determining who are the good guys and who are the bad guys is “which side is eliminating libraries” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

2016: GOP dilutes party platform regarding aid to Ukraine under Trump 2019: Trump tries to withhold military aid until Zelensky “announces” an investigation into the Bidens 2025: Trump and Vance openly side with Putin It’s been the play the whole time, now it’s just out in the open

This is disgraceful. Trump just wants to claim a diplomatic win, and is willing to throw democracy under the bus in order to get it. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

DOGE is cutting fraud, waste, and abuse in the same way a bull in a china shop helps reduce unneeded inventory.
