Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

Reuters: U.S. JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO TRANSFER TUFTS UNIVERSITY STUDENT HELD IN LOUISIANA IMMIGRATION DETENTION FACILITY TO VERMONT

MORE NEWS: Judge Boasberg has called an emergency hearing in 35 minutes on lawyers for Alien Enemies Act targets’ urgent claim that Trump administration is resuming summary deportation.

Let's elevate the fighters: Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

Defiance of court order. Purging Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. New by Judge Amy Berman Jackson: Court has reason to believe Trump officials "are thumbing their nose at both this Court and the Court of Appeals." "dressing their RIF in new clothes" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"This is a lesson into the lengths that President Bukele will go to deceive people about what's going on. And it also shows the lengths Trump will go to" -- Van Hollen details how the photos appearing to show him and Abrego Garcia with margaritas were staged by the government of El Salvador

JUST IN: Lawyers for Venezuelan nationals say they’re being loaded onto buses this hour in anticipation of a new wave of Alien Enemies Act deportations, w less than 24 hours notice. They’re asking Judge Boasberg for an immediate restraining order requiring 30 days notice.

The President of the United States fears only those who do not fear him.

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Americans are entitled to and should demand better than this from the President of the United States.

This is some sick shit

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

How is it possible U.S. citizens are being held as illegal aliens in America even after they produce their birth certificate? This is intolerable. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

When the regime talks about kidnapping people because they might be violent someday, I wish the press would always note they also released without hesitation people with a history of legal run ins who were violent on January 6th and unrepentant about it.

I can't wait to see this guy in the box at the war crimes trial.

The Food and Drug Administration is drawing up plans that would end most of its routine food safety inspections work, multiple federal health officials tell CBS News. 🔗 www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

Reuters: APPEALS COURT DENIES JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S REQUEST TO HALT JUDGE'S ORDER REQUIRING IT TO 'FACILITATE' RETURN OF WRONGLY DEPORTED MAN

People want institutions to stand up www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

We must expect and demand that the executive branch follow the law. We must expect and demand that the executive branch comply with court orders. To expect and demand anything less is a form of obeying in advance. Defeatism is a form of surrender.

this is just a horrible, pathological liar. we know that. but they know they've lost the public on this one. the escalation is the giveaway

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

As I’ve been saying for years, Trump’s pronouns are me/me/me/me/me/me/me. Everything is always about him. He has no consideration or empathy for anyone else, and no principles or values other than what’s best for him.

Note that all 5 original plaintiffs in the Boasberg case denies that he is even a member of Tren de Aragua--meaning it's possible that there is a multiple Arbego-Garcia problem.

JUST IN: @aclu and @democracyfwd ask Boasberg to reimpose nationwide TRO on Alien Enemjes Act deportations. They also want to refile habeas corpus claims in DC for the roughly 130 men deported March 15 despite Boasberg's order to turn planes around. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Let’s keep saying it: IMPEACH… CONVICT… REMOVE.

The American government is paying to keep an innocent man in a death camp.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

El Salvador refuses to let Democratic senator visit or speak with Kilmar Abrego Garcia: ‘We have an unjust situation here’

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Just know that the utterly horrific or unconstitutional thing he's doing right now is just meant to distract you from the 15 other utterly horrific or unconstitutional things he is doing right now.

Remember back all those years ago when Pete Hegseth held a top secret national security conversation on Signal?

Something has changed. People are fired up and ready to stop the chaos and cruelty. Keep it up.
