Remember, the Trump Adminstration made it a humanitarian priority to bring back Andrew Tate from Romania.

Has anyone produced the contract by which El Salvador is holding folks for the US?

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

The so-called “art of the deal” led to the tanking of a healthy economy – imposing tariffs, weakening the dollar, & sinking the stock market. How long can we let the economy slide until we don’t fall for it? @jimacosta.bsky.social & @michaelrstrain.bsky.social join @10AMET to break it down. #Velshi

There are some very bad stories going around about the Mahmoud Kahlil case. The hearing today was before an immigration judge — which is located within the Justice Department. They are NOT a "federal judge" in the sense that anyone reading at least one nationwide story saying so thinks of it.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

My God

The Republican “SAVE Act” isn’t just unnecessary (citizenship is already a voting requirement) — it would also disenfranchise millions of U.S. citizens who don’t have passports or access to their birth certificate, or who recently changed their name. It’s dead on arrival in the Senate.

Kirkland & Ellis, Allen Overy Shearman Sterling, Simpson Thatcher, and Latham & Watkins should be viewed as administration shills now. It would be a mistake to engage them in any matter in which your interests and positions are not congruent with this administration’s.

We went from one of the strongest post-covid economies in the world under President Biden to chaos, corruption, and now a Republican recession. ✅ Millions of Americans are delinquent with house payments. ✅ Cost of housing is up! ✅ Cost of groceries are up

Looks like the DOJ want to follow rules that they set up but not our laws.

Everything is bad, but this one is a five-alarm fire. There's now nothing preventing the DOJ from manufacturing charges against these two from whole cloth. Worst case for Trump is he upends two lives until a judge tosses the cases -- while sending a clear message about loyalty. Thank John Roberts.

GOLDMAN raises recession odds to 65%. “.. We Now Forecast 2025 Q4/Q4 GDP Growth of -1%, Well Below Consensus .. “.. We Expect the Unemployment Rate to Rise 1.5pp to 5.7%”

It's outrageous that they gave Trump the powers trusted to them in the Constitution, even if just on an "emergency wink-wink basis" It's unconscionable that they're now proposing a way to block themselves from taking their rightful powers back.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Looks like the United States may be his seventh bankruptcy.

Just because it’s satire, doesn’t mean it’s not true.
