Alt: Editorial cartoon by Gary Huck. A large 4 engine airplane, viewed from above. An ICE deportation flight. The interior fuselage contains hundreds of bodies, packed side by side, in the manner of historical depictions of slave ships' human cargo.

The staggering incompetence of this administration would be hilarious, if the stakes weren't so high.

It is far too soon for me to apologize for anything. There are still a lot of things I plan for Snowflake Stinky. I'll apologize when HE is in an El Salvador prison. "Sorry - sorry it took so long, nimrod".

What is it going to take to get Kilmar Abrego Garcia back safely into the US as ordered by federal courts? Someone with a large open checkbook, and a good team of independent operators?

I'm going to state something that's obvious at every university: today was the deadline for folks to decide which grad school they'll join in the fall. This probably won't make headlines, but because we don't expect normal funding, universities aren't admitting a normal number of students. (1/4)

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

Thom Tillis won’t show up for Person County and he sure won’t show up for a town hall. Call your Senators and Representative. Ask them when they’ll face your questions.

Interesting. I'm sure the White House physician is prescribing Viagra and other male "gender affirming" medications like they were Tic Tacs. Or - day I say it? "Willy Nilly".

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.
