Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

It is very bad that one of our two parties has so fully collapsed into far right authoritarianism that it no longer cares about basic governance, & all of our other societal institutions, especially the media, should stop pretending otherwise.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Once again, I ask what exactly people have seen in the last three months to make them believe that the 2026/28 elections are going to be free, fair, & competitive in any traditionally meaningful sense of the words 🤷‍♂️

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these: 1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps. 2. We decide who enemies are. 3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos. /1

Miller is a lunatic.

“No, Donnie, these men are cowards.”

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

Just goes to show that there was actual no "safe" confirmation vote to take for any of Trumps cabinet nominees. Every single Senate Democrat voted to confirm Rubio and it will be a black mark on their records

they are not "seemingly" "pushing the limits" they acted illegally then when a judge told them to stop they ignored the order illegally. they are criminals, doing crimes

Having the President call out private citizens like this is appalling, dangerous, and scary.

Passing the bill he wants passed gives him more power. Not passing the bill he wants takes away from his power. Pls stop insulting everyone’s intelligence.

Please, please retire @schumer.senate.gov. Make room for someone that still has fight in them. You are not ready for this moment.

Dear NBA Refs, Why does your own NBA video rule book show that a player who is hit on the lower hand and wrist is guilty of a foul, but in the Kings/Clippers game you called this same thing a legal “high five” situation? Care to elaborate, @nba.com videorulebook.nba.com/archive/poin...

I mean, there's nothing left to say at this point. Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins are national embarassments, & Article I of the Constitution has failed completely. At some point, we need adults who swore oaths to act like it, & it seems like we don't have any of them left. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Again, a total failure of all civil society groups right now. Every one of them, cravenly failing to speak out & waiting for someone else to do it. Wall Street CEOs. Fortune 500 CEOs. University presidents. Religious leaders. Total collective action failure while democracy dies.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

if you were an unreconstructed segregationist from jim crow alabama, what would you do differently than this administration with regard to civil rights enforcement?

"All elections are rigged and Democrats don't exist" is the kind of paranoid delusion that once got you shunned from society and maybe committed. Now it gets you retweeted by the defacto president and the adoration of thousands of other cultists.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

If this happens - and if Musk et al get control of BLS - then all economic bets are off. I can’t say it any more plainly than that.
