Steve Bannon gets pardoned after scamming a bunch a small-dollar MAGA donors in his ‘We Build the Wall’ scam. But George Santos made the mistake of scamming a bunch of Republican millionaires. No pardons for that.

BREAKING: Disgraced former GOP Representative, George Santos, has just been sentenced to 87 months in federal prison. He is also ordered to pay $373,749.97 in restitution. More details to follow!

Selling access to a “private dinner” and White House via memecoin? If a Dem did this, Fox would never let us hear the end of it.

Trump kills programs to combat opioid addiction: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

LMAOOOO, they baited the podium 🤣🤣🤣

Seeing a lot of "RFK IS Wrong About Autism" headlines. Well, duh. Strike the word "austism" and replace it with "everything" and it saves time.

By 2028, if not already deceased, Trump will be so senile, it will barely be fun to see him go to prison. But, I’m still pro-hard time.

Please let JD Vance killed the Pope become the new JD Vance fucked a couch.

🚨HUGE: Joni Ernst is toast. A Democrat FLIPPED a deep-red Iowa seat Trump won by 21 pts. Vets, farmers, unions—Iowa voters are DONE with Trump’s trade war. Now, Democratic challenger Nathan Sage says it best: “Unions are under attack, farmers are getting f*cked.” We can win. PART 1:

I coached at a school without one trans kid, but the girls had to be in the gym at 5:45 am and out by 7 am because our sport didn’t matter. If folks really cared about equity in girls sports, they’d fund them and give them the same access to gyms and fields and uniforms and coaches and busses.

Supreme Court, if you're listening . . . SENATOR CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: "Has the Trump administration made any efforts to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return to the United States?" US EMBASSY IN EL SALVADOR: "No."

London bus stop near Amazon HQ 🔥

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.

Van Hollen shouldn't have been the only Democrat who went to El Salvador, but he was, and he will be rewarded for getting confirmation that Abrego Garcia is still alive.

Abrego Garcia, criminal or saint, was denied his due process rights by the gov’t. In this country, people are entitled to those rights, whether criminals or not, whether citizens or not. joycevance.substack.com/p/does-it-ma...

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

Absolutely! Who else agrees?

Turns out @mcuban.bsky.social was correct

If Kilmar Abrego Garcia had only beaten Capitol police officers half to death with a Trump flag on his way into pissing on the halls on Congress while looking to hang a Vice President—he’d be free right now.

When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.

MAJOR BREAKING: The challenger Joni Ernst privately feared the most has announced he’s ENTERING THE RACE! Nathan Sage is a popular sports broadcaster and already has massive support. MAGA knows this Democrat can win. Today is not a good day for Joni Ernst. Let’s go!!

I’m a mechanic, marine, and sports radio host, raised in a trailer park in Mason City, Iowa. I'm fighting for a Democratic Party that people like me actually want to be a part of. I'm Nathan Sage. I'm running for US Senate. And I'm going to kick Joni Ernst's ass next November.

Make sense of this mess: We’re shunning skilled immigrants —while dumbing down schools by banning books & defunding education. And the grand plan for the workplace is a bro-club of white men hoarding power. So when does “greatness” kick in? Because all I’m seeing is regression wrapped in a flag.

📌If Trump jailed the three liberal justices on the Supreme Court most Republicans would go along with it. THAT’S where we are right now. I’m not wrong about this.

NEW: An AP journalist was denied access to an Oval Office event with Donald Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, despite a ruling by a federal judge last week ordering the WH to restore The Associated Press’s full access to cover presidential events on First Amendment grounds.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

"the worst and dumbest people in the world gloating about how they solved the ‘grift’ of sending lifesaving medications to dying babies...” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against him. The Constitutional Crisis is no longer some abstract idea, it's right here staring us in the face.

HAPPENING NOW: The Justice Department has missed a 5pm deadline to file details about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's whereabouts and efforts to comply with a judge's otder to facilitate his return. Still waiting to see if they're just a few minutes behind or not planning to file at all

When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one. No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

I was thinking that at least mass shooting numbers have diminished. But then I did a little search. Now it seems that it's just not being reported as much instead.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

Exactly

Surprise, surprise. readsludge.com/2025/04/07/m...

Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward. This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda. 🔗: www.axios.com/newsletters/...

trump’s tariff trash fire and Musk’s DOGE disaster are sinking MAGA. Democrats now have the playbook to finish them. Read and share with your family and friends how we CRUSH it in 2026 in my latest free Substack! brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

They have the power to stop him… THEY CHOOSE TO LET HIM RULE WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS!!!

Wow!

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.
