But not put in jail for contempt. Why not?

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Make no mistake, the women who were sent to space today were not a demonstration of female empowerment. That was a demonstration of male power (wealth and virility) in the same way a pimp leverages women’s sexuality to prove his dominance. They were props, not promises. #blueorigin

And let’s not forget that Doge is costing us so there is a substantial net loss from this ‘efficiency’ initiative.

How do you feel about having to pay taxes to a lawless dictatorship

Not convenient.

But yet, the courts do nothing.

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

🚀🚀

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Put some butts in jail.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

Who is stopping him? There has been no accountability to date. Until a judge has the balls to put somebody in jail, we are lost.

He wants to build prisons in El Salvador for American citizens he doesn't like. Enough's enough. He needs to be stopped.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

The court system is a coequal branch of government. If the administration isn’t going to follow their orders it’s time to hold some senior officials in contempt.

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported. We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back. That would be the end of democracy.

I wonder how the Supreme Court feels about granting Donald Trump immunity for official acts now that one of those official acts is telling the Supreme Court to shove their ruling and fuck the fuck off.

There we go. Support this man.

Not to mention planes staying in the air.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

He never misses an opportunity to not criticize Russia — even when they murder 35 people on Palm Sunday

BREAKING: Last week’s trade data shows an incredibly bleak picture for the economy: - 49% drop in global container bookings - 64% drop in U.S. imports. - 30% drop in U.S. exports.

There is a 0.000% chance he wrote this one.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

There it is.

THE MORE YOU KNOW…💫

What a fucking moron.

Nobody knows from one hour to the next what the policy of the US govt is that impacts trillions of dollars in global trade. There is no economic certainty for investors, corporations, or small businesses. Mad King Donald is determined to wreck this economy.

So no one NO ONE held accountable for Signalgate!!!!! Our pilots could have died!!!!! They are still using unsecure networks and oh let some time go bye flood the zone and it will be forgotten. Like Jan 6th and everything else. WTAF!!!!! Im outraged!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Most certainly this is true. That Biden was able to regain trust after Trump’s first term was an amazing achievement.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has “100% hatred” toward Russian leader Vladimir Putin. “How else can you see a person who came here and murdered our people, murdered children?” says Zelenskyy. https://cbsn.ws/3YyaIlp

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Financial Times: "Since 1990, America has lost over 5 million manufacturing jobs. In that time, it has gained 11.8 million roles in professional and business services, and 3.3 million in transportation and logistical activities, linked to multinational supply chains." #EconSky

🧵Garcia is their test case He's under zero charges from El Salvador that would hold him in containment He is kidnapped to El Salvador and held in a facility currently being funded by the US Therefore not under the "sovereign" authority of El Salvador, but a mix of El Salvadorian & US authority

As I feared. They're invoking state secrets privilege over the deal with Bukele.

Every single “investment expert “ is emphasizing diversification to include investment in other stock markets. And that will extend to private markets and start ups. It’s possible to export your smartest people, hire overseas , and fund their business at a fraction of costs you face here. Insane

Jail them all.
