NEW: Senator Van Hollen has met with Abrego Garcia.

The Trump administration is weighing deep cuts to federal housing programs, including a sweeping overhaul of aid to low-income families.

You are here.

Wow. Then why was he freed with no charges and given permission to stay in the country in 2019? Man, whoever was president then sure owes us an explanation for letting this monster out in our streets.

There should be more coverage about ICE assaulting, raping, and molesting immigrants. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Just a thought... With Russia and China pushing disinformation into the U.S., how is Trump and MAGA helping us again by removing the agency that works to prevent this from occurring? Seems like their all working for Russia and China. What say you? #WEARETHEFLOOD www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

MAGA doesn’t care about antisemitism. Pretending to care about it is just blaming Jews for MAGA’s own abuse of power.

I've been saying it for a little while now and will say it again; we don't have three branches of government right now. We have two real branches (executive and judicial) and a junior varsity branch (legislative) that is acting like it's a smol bean with no power. THAT is a constitutional crisis.

The administration’s lies about this case are insane.

Trump, convicted on multiple felonies, pardoned domestic terrorists and white nationalist gang members involved in Jan 6th. Republicans want immigrants with no criminal records locked up while their violent criminals walk free. That’s white supremacy, not public safety.

Goldman on Trump threatening to deport Americans to a gulag in El Salvador: "This is the stuff of dictators ... Republicans in Congress have completely acceded to his wishes and turned over all of their own authority to Donald Trump. There is no check and no balance from Congress."

THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.

So now, the party of Lincoln—yeah, that’s fucking rich, ain’t it—has become the party of “Fuck your laws, fuck your rights, and fuck you if you disagree.” Reagan is rolling in his grave so hard you could hook a turbine to him and solve the Texas energy crisis. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Since the beginning I’ve said that Elon and his DOGE tech bros know the real value in pillaging these federal agencies is in the data, but not to raid your bank accounts. It’s to influence the outcome of our elections.

People: “The Republican congresswoman bought tens of thousands of dollars in stock from various high-profile companies just before President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on his international tariffs and sent the market soaring.” people.com/marjorie-tay...

NEW: China is switching from American to Canadian oil. Chinese purchases of American oil are down **90%** year on year. Purchases of oil from Canada are up +700%. That equates to a $20 BILLION annual loss for the United States, at current oil prices. Tired of winning yet? 🇨🇳🤝🇨🇦

See, I held back this particular conspiracy theory of mine. Like why the hell would El Salvador care about any of this? But you have to remember who Trump is. He solves problems by making deals. He said what's it gonna cost me to disappear some people. El Salvador had a price.

El Salvador’s government rebuffed a request Wednesday from Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) to free Kilmar Abrego García, whose case has become a flash point in the battle over President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign since the administration mistakenly deported him last month.

I am a woman, I move through the world as a woman, every single person I know treats me as a woman, every new person I meet acknowledges me as a woman, it is ludicrous for any kind of court to pretend I’m not a woman.

•••CONSUMER ALERT••• Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell: Expect higher inflation and slower economic growth as a direct result of Trump’s tariffs — which are “significantly larger than anticipated.”

The White House’s blatant disregard of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg's order is “sufficient to conclude” that there is probable cause for criminal contempt, Boasberg wrote. He added that none of the government’s explanations to date have been satisfactory.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen said he spoke with the American embassy in El Salvador today and they said that they’d never been told to in any way facilitate the court ordered return of Mr Abrego. That sure sounds like evidence of criminal contempt to me.

Marco Rubio says that Americans living in Europe shouldn't ever have to face any ramifications for their political speech online. The chutzpah is jaw-dropping, as he is PERSONALLY trying to deport legal immigrants for their political speech in the United States.

This is a huge deal. Casey DeSantis started a little pet project to “graduate” people off Medicaid but in actuality stole court settlements from FL taxpayers and funneled that money into political campaigns to fund opposition to medical marijuana and abortion rights amendments.

Honestly believe part of the whole situation with Abrego Garcia is about this. Bringing him back would indicate someone made a mistake and you will literally never hear anyone in this administration apologize for anything. Starts at the top.

It’s this, and that all of this drama serves their larger purpose of terrorizing brown immigrants from coming to the U.S. at all.

Scoop for @reuters.com: On Friday, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission will stop collecting data on injuries from incidents like car accidents and adverse drug effects due to staff cuts at the CDC. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Never forget.

With Judge Boasberg's contempt opinion today, we at the beginning of a constitutional crisis. And the Trump administration gets to decide whether we descend into further chaos or restore the rule of law. Trust Democracy Docket to keep you informed: newsletters.democracydocket.com
