EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration has acknowledged that it grabbed a Maryland father with protected status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador—but claims that courts are powerless to order his return, @nickmiroff.bsky.social reports: theatln.tc/Bot5mE4O

NEW: DOGE is trying to gift itself a building worth $500 million, court filings show. It's the culmination of a dramatic battle between DOGE and the United States Institute of Peace, a Congressionally funded think tank. www.wired.com/story/doge-t...

Meanwhile, they're pausing enforcement on foreign bribery.

All this rhetoric about "paid protestors" and yet Musk is offering checks directly to voters?

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

This should chill everyone in this country to the bone. All she did was write an OpEd the administration didn’t like. This is fascistic suppression of free speech.

It amazes me how quickly democracy is falling.

Yep

How has no one been fired or resigned over Signal gate?

Resignation letter from FDA’s Peter Marks (he was director of its Center for Biological Evaluation and Research)

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Well if a DHS staffer is placed on leave for unclear information mistake, why isn’t Mike Waltz and Hegseth on unpaid leave as well? #TheyMustResign l.smartnews.com/p-jSSMyaA/7j...

Khalen Saunders hosting an LGBTQ-inclusive football camp this summer. Love it. Need more of this.

Military mom here: fire every one of the assholes who endangered the lives of American troops with a Signal chat.

This doesn't look good, folks www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why. Is. Hegseth. Still. In. His. Position. ??

Countries that have issued a travel advisory this year warning their citizens about visiting the United States: Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Ireland Netherlands New Zealand United Kingdom

Since when did spray painting a car become a greater federal offense than assaulting a police officer? Party of law and order...bs

You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t take Republicans seriously when they make this big show about law and order in defense of Tesla when, at the same time, they are letting Trump stab law enforcement in the back—pardoning violent criminals who assaulted police officers.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

The Trump administration has set up an email ([email protected]) allowing polluters to request exemptions from nine Clean Air Act rules. Under Section 112(i)(4) of the Clean Air Act, the president has the authority to grant these exemptions through a Presidential Exemption.

I just got a public death threat from a few folks who noticed I am doing a library event to talk about my career and my books. They called me all the familiar names, then “I won’t be sad if someone shoots her in the face.” And a woman’s reply, “Right between the eyes.” I am a children’s author.

I think we are at the point where it's clear that the administration is either completely incompetent or infiltrated by foreign intelligence. Either makes my skin crawl. Be ready for them to announce the invasion of Greenland any day....

Saving you a click, perhaps: not that Bill Murray.

SCOOP: A WIRED review of public data shows that national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

Whatever happened to the "5 things " DoGe emails ? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full. Already forgotten Typical Ready Fire Aim

David Geier has apparently been commissioned by HHS secretary RFK, Jr. to study potential links between vaccination and autism. He and his father have 2 papers in 2017/2016 claiming to show Hep-B vaccination greatly increases risk of autism/obesity. However, their studies have FATAL FLAW...

There's no gaslighting your way out of this.

Obvious, but still important to nail down. The Yemen strike info was marked classified as it circulated in the Pentagon. www.cnn.com/2025/03/26/p...

Some unvaccinated children being treated for measles at a Texas hospital showed signs of liver damage from ingesting too much vitamin A. RFK Jr has been recommending vitamin A. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/h...

Yes, Fox News, I have definitely texted the wrong person before. In fact, I've done it numerous times. The difference here is that my erroneous texts revolved around lunch details or sending an article to a friend -- not outlining attack plans that put our troops in grave danger. Hope this helps.

A US president not knowing four US servicemen are dead 24 hours after it was reported is appalling.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Fired? Chelsea Manning was sentenced to THIRTY FIVE YEARS in prison

This is classified information. The President will claim it is not because he’s declassifying it AFTER the fact because his administration is now responsible for one of the greatest national security failures of our time.

Signalgate is just the start. In its first two months, the new Trump administration has made move after move that exposes the government to penetration by foreign intelligence services. By me in @nytimes.com ... www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/o...

THREAD: Key questions today for every reporter and Congressman looking into #Signalgate: 1. How can anyone (aka Trump) trust Mike Waltz going forward since he's so dumb as to add a reporter to such a highly secretive group chat?

Hey guys remember the Hillary Clinton email server? Seems kinda, small today, doesn’t it?

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social How is the SECDEF still in office after today?

This is so disturbing.
