Reporter: Do you have a reaction to the suicide of Virginia Giuffre? Trump: It’s a very sad situation — the whole thing. Her and the others. It's a horrible thing. (Giuffre was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell while working at Mar-a-Lago.)

Dear media, It's trafficking The word you're looking for is trafficking Coupled with kidnapping The only thing he's deporting is a fuckton of American embarrassment to every country in the world. STOP calling them deportations. That is a legal term. It's not even close to what he's actually doing

So, a guy wearing a mask (who just happens to be an illegal immigrant) strolls past two Secret Service agents, sits down at the table next to Kristi Noem, drags her purse across the floor with his foot, and walks back out still wearing a mask. What an absurd crock of BS! cnbc.com/2025/04/27/m...

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

To all the MAGA people gloating about arresting a judge by saying “no one is above the law:” Girl, you elected a multi-felon who skated all consequences who appointed an Attorney General who took a bribe without any consequences. Please sit down. And stay there.

If it’s true that their only “evidence” against this judge is that she advised someone to leave out a side door, this is complete banana republic bullshit and should be unequivocally condemned by both parties.

Trump (soon): Although President Xi hasn’t called me and China won’t talk to us, he’s a good man and I know he really wants to call and say how much he respects me with tears in his eyes so I’m going to do him a big favor and cut the tariffs. I think he learned his lesson. MAGA!

Folks are angry because they're, understandably, tired of hearing, "The president can't do that!" Consider what I offer from Lincoln in my Wisc. L. Rev. article about coups and the Constitution. The law belongs to us. Institutions need our belief in law. Faith without works is no answer either.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats. This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...
