Is Rachel Maddow really going back to Mondays only? Jen Psaki just can’t fill those shoes.

I’m livid. Trump defunded the CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) program. The program supports and advocates for victims of child abuse, neglect, human trafficking, and children in the foster care system. Volunteers work closely with the court system to ensure that children are safe. 💔💔💔

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

In a new report, Sarah Stillman investigates deaths related to starvation, dehydration, and neglect in county jails across the U.S.—a crisis that at times has been covered up by private health companies and government officials. nyer.cm/hMT7u9R

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Still waiting for my check from 2017. Should I give up that hope? I could use it to stock up on safe eyedrops.

Bates: He inherited an economy that was the best-performing in the world. But in just two months, he’s crashing that economy with the biggest tax increase on middle-class families in 50 years—raising the prices he promised he would lower, and breaking his number one promise to them.

Cutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will result in people dying. Cutting medical research and funding will result in people dying. Cutting foreign aid, FEMA and NOAA will result in people dying. A few cars on fire is considered violence, but somehow the rest isn’t.

House and Senate republicans are actually calling out the Trump administration for their plans to withdraw from NATO's Supreme Allied Command Europe - the primary command that oversees support for Ukraine, and the first step in abandoning NATO allies.
