Alito criticizes US Supreme Court's decision to 'hastily' block deportations reut.rs/4cBCMdm

Pete Hegseth reportedly spilled Yemen attack details in another Signal chat

Earlier today I was listening to a Bulwark podcast where they were discussing that WSJ story about Elon’s harem and they called it “Nazi eugenics.” The Never Trumpers are not fucking around.

EXCLUSIVE: Following up on ProPublica piece on Thiel startup RAMP hunting for the motherlode govt payments contract, as of yesterday a DOGEr & Ramp employee, Roland Shen, is now inside Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service, the US Govt's central payments hub. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/rampi...

Four people close to Hegseth, including his three top aides, have all fallen in his search for who is leaking embarrassing information about him. It looks like *everybody* is! Because he’s a buffoon! www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

In an unusual overnight order, most of the justices voted to halt several illegal deportations. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the A.A.R.P. order. Though neither has explained why yet, the order says that a statement from Alito will come soon.

Injustice against one is injustice against all of us.

Casar: "These issues aren't just about immigration. They are about the civil liberties and the basic rights of every single American ... we do not have a king in the United States of America."

Casar: "This message of saying we've gotta break the unholy alliance between corporate greed and corrupt government -- I used it on Fox News live the other weekend. I can use it in rural Texas, suburban Texas, urban Texas, or suburban Colorado. It works."

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night. Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

It is time for Trump to put up or shut up in Court. A FEDERAL JUDGE said “no evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any criminal organization.” No one is vouching for one man. We are standing up for EVERYONE’s right to due process under the Constitution.

One way they're trying to justify kidnapping Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign gulag is by accusing him of an act of violence against a woman. If those are the rules.... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...

Van Hollen vows congressional delegation visits will continue as the Trump administration refuses to follow court orders

JUST IN: The National Labor Relations Board told employees Wednesday that DOGE staffers would be assigned to the agency, one day after a whistleblower alleged DOGE may have removed sensitive NLRB data.

Over 25,000 people came out to see Bernie Sanders and AOC at their “Fight the Oligarchy” rally in Salt Lake City, Utah. Bernie Sanders: "I want to say a word about my "daughter" about Alexandria." Person in the crowd: "Future president!" Crowd: *cheers and laughs* Bernie: *huge grin*

Jefferson Griffin is asking North Carolina's courts to retroactively change election rules and throw out 65k ballots so he can win a seat on the state Supreme Court. It's time for federal courts to step in and end his nonsense. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Human Rights First strongly condemns Trump’s invitation and upcoming meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, because of his authoritarian tactics and numerous human rights violations. Trump went on Truth Social praising and complimenting this monster as if he's a hero.

Elgin detectives were dubious when their chief suggested starting a true crime podcast to help find Karen Schepers. But it worked.

State Department staff are being told to report “anti-Christian bias” among their own colleagues. Donald Trump has never read the Bible or The Constitution. And he doesn’t follow either one. How bout get your fucking Cult out of The People’s government.

There is not a soul on earth who believes that President Bukele wouldn’t immediately release Abrego-Garcia if asked by the United States. President Bukele is coming to the United States this week; he can give Abrego-Garcia a ride on his plane!

The same Christians who shunned me for reminding them that Jesus wasn't white, American, or Christian—have become hateful white nationalists in the name of that Jesus. It has been tragic but illuminating. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-was-a-pa...

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

owning a small business in 2025…

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Donald Trump’s tariff chaos leads to corruption accusations protos.com/donald-trump...

Why DOGE is killing the agency that keeps banks from ripping you off

Trump wrote on Truth Social, "Great News! ‘The Big, Beautiful Bill’ is coming along really well. Republicans are working together nicely" ... Just hours after House Republicans’ infighting forced them to delay a vote on a multi-trillion dollar budget bill.

The PM has not spoken directly to the US leader since he started his tariff chaos.

NEW: Today, the House will vote on the SAVE Act, a bill that would disenfranchise millions of voters. As Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL) states, “this bill is not about protecting our elections, it’s about making it harder for Americans to vote and easier for Republicans to win.”

BREAKING: House GOP takes critical first step toward President Trump's tax cuts and border agenda after party leaders quell conservative rebellion over costs

“This was part of the plan” Let’s recap: Declare a global trade war Panic the markets Create massive selloffs; $10T+ in losses Weaken the dollar Take most of it back at the last minute Recoup some of the losses you were responsible for People rejoice coz it could’ve been much worse Heckuva plan.

Trump is surprised when a reporter tells him that the EU today announced tariff increases on the US

NEW: An unsigned interagency agreement calls for the Dept of Labor to reimburse the US DOGE Service up to **$1.3 million** for work done by four DOGE affiliates over 18 months. Musk has previously stated that DOGE staffers would cost taxpayers nothing. from me and @timmarchman.bsky.social:

Three House Republicans. Four Senate Republicans. That's it. That's the math.

In three months, we went from global economic powerhouse to pariah. Our tragedy is made entirely in the USA. By one man. Donald Trump.

When Trump launched these tariffs, most of us who are not economists did some research only to discover that Trump knows less than we do. Chilling discovery. It appears that his goal is to get other counties to grovel to him. There is nothing in it for us

Sadly, what it will probably take for Trump to stop this suicide mission with the global economies will be when Rupert Murdoch decides he has had enough, and starts covering what is actually happening for Trump’s base.

Most of us have here in the US have gone about our lives without fear of gangs. Today, what is terrifying and real and new for us, is the fact that the Trump regime can disappear students, neighbors, friends without warning and without due process #TrumpRegimeTerror

Think about what kind of person you have to be to lie about sending someone to a torture prison for life based on nothing bsky.app/profile/atru...

I've been asked on here what the military's obligation is around following unlawful orders, & what resources are available to them. This article explains the obligation to refuse an unlawful order, with UCMJ citations, & provides a template for doing so.

Is this who we are? 😳🇺🇸

I can not stress enough what complete morons the people in the Trump Regime are at every level.

A new RAND study just found that $79 trillion was taken from the bottom 90%. We don't have an abundance problem. We have an oligarchy problem - the oligarchs are hoarding the abundance for themselves.
