They never don't look painfully stupid

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

A third, culminating report on the Trump-El Salvador Scandal—as massive and fully sourced as the first two—is coming to PROOF on Sunday or Monday. I want it out when Bukele arrives in D.C. on Monday. All told, PROOF will have published almost a whole book on this. Stay tuned. Subscribe below:

Robert F. Kennedy today, talking about his past work with persons with disabilities. Shameful.

Perhaps media should look at possible motivations here? Gabbard isn’t a _real_ Texan—and the Texas GOP doesn’t need her—so her residency declaration there (likely a fraud) was to save money. The reason she needs to remain a _Hawaii_ voter is Trump and the GOP think she can flip a Senate seat there.

This is insane. Also this brazen grift must be challenged.

UPDATE: There is evidence this image is from 2024. The problem: that doesn't make the situation better, but worse. What questions did the Trump administration ask about this satellite imagery in January 2025 BEFORE it started sending American residents to CECOT? Surely it had access to this data.

BREAKING: The Court has folded. The Trump administration wins. As expected. Shame on those major-media journalists who falsely told the public yesterday that the Supreme Court order upheld rule of law. In fact, it facilitated this travesty of justice today. It is unlikely Garcia will ever return.

No! Stop this, major media! That’s _not_ what just happened! DOJ at _no_ point made _any_ commitment to “bring Garcia home,” nor did it ask for “more time” to “bring Garcia home.” It said that Garcia is in the custody of El Salvador and the court has no jurisdiction there. Get it right, dammit!

I just confirmed myself this satellite image (1:48PM ET 4/11/25) of one of the yards at CECOT. I have no idea what this is, but those saying it is bodies and blood certainly are not getting that idea entirely out of nowhere. It may well be.

This is all horrifying. Our system is not supposed to work like this.

BREAKING: As expected, and consistent with all the PROOF reporting from the past week, the Trump administration has now _refused to follow court orders_ in the Abrego Garcia case. Major media misinformed the public by telling them that the Supreme Court ruling in the case was a win for rule of law.

As I expected, the government ignored the 9:30 a.m. deadline set by the federal court in Maryland. The court moved the deadline to 11:30 a.m. As I expected, the government ignored the 11:30 deadline. A 1:00 p.m. court hearing was scheduled. As I expected, the government demanded it be canceled.

If you read this report, you understand how the scam is going to work: El Salvador will refuse to return people the Trump administration is supposed to be "facilitating" the return of by claiming that they have _their own national interest_ in keeping them. It's a scam...and it's Human Trafficking.

This was one of the potential outcomes discussed at length in my pinned report. The Court is demanding signs of effort but not a specific result, which is a huge win for the Trump administration, as it appears to confirm its theory that El Salvador has control over anyone on its soil. This is bad.
