I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Looks like the Trump administration is now making a concerted effort to publicly portray Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a human trafficker and terrorist, despite not making any of these claims in court. Tom Homan: "Karoline Leavitt is exactly right... he is an MS-15 gang member based on our intelligence."

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

"Trump cannot assuage the bond market. He cannot convince it that he is 'normal' and should be given the benefit of the doubt. He cannot scare it into submission. He cannot bribe it. The bond market is not like the Supreme Court or Paul Weiss or Columbia."

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

There are likely effective vaccines for major health concerns like Bird Flu, Lyme Disease, and even multiple forms of cancer - just to name a few - but we just lost funding for further study, our entire vaccine advisory group, most drug approval personnel at FDA, and HHS is overseen by antivaxxers…

As anyone who followed the stock market during the 2008 financial crisis can tell you, big swings up-and-down are a bad sign, not an indication that things are about to start steadily rising again.

Marine Corps Veteran Janessa Goldbeck, CEO of Vet Voice Foundation, is sounding the alarm: The SAVE Act would make it harder for Troops, disabled Veterans, and military families to vote—by requiring in-person proof most can’t access. This isn’t security. It’s voter suppression.

Gonna repeat something I said often on the hellsite: The Stock Market is NOT the economy. Meaning stocks being good or bad isn’t always an accurate reflection of the economy. But the mess Trump is making is much bigger than the stock market.

the thing about this presidency is that there is zero doubt he is letting all his friends and family know before any trade move he makes, which would be in a top 10 presidential scandal of all time, but it doesn't even register with Trump because he does so many crimes & media gives him a pass

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.  Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.  Life on this pale blue dot will be resilient - whether we’re part of it or not. #science #history
