Bring ALL the people our government illegally renditioned to a foreign prison without habeas corpus. Not just one obviously innocent man. Bring them back for due process in THIS COUNTRY. That is the law.

nobody likes the secret fact that a significant contributor to both is how shit-awful men think they're allowed to be. some women would/could have a child without a partner, but not most, and a lot of men are not making a persuasive case why a life with them is better than a life alone

If he’s saying he can use the promised free lawyering “after I leave” office, he’s admitting he committed extortion for personal gain. Another day, another impeachable offense.

Politico has this piece on th absurdity of trying to negotiate 75 bulateral teade deals in 90 days. But the piece wildly understates the problem. Trade deals are laws. They have to pass congress. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
