The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.

I guess it’s good to know that the next Democratic president can ship Trump and his cabinet off to a Central American prison without a trial and we won’t ever have to worry about them coming back.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

When the world loses confidence in the dollar, it will move on as quickly as the felon in chief did to destroy it. They do not have to put up with this nonsense and will move right on without us. Fat chance the U.S. will ever be in a position of leadership again. Impeach these people already.

Add up the deficits caused by covid stimulus, the TCJA, the IRA, and the BIL, and you still don’t reach the level allowed in the budget passed yesterday. So much for the party of fiscal discipline. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

On today’s episode of “He’s Tearing This S**t Up”—Trump plans to dismantle NOAA, shutting down climate research and weather labs.​ In Texas, that means fewer hurricane warnings, less drought data, & more risk to our communities.​ This isn’t just a budget cut—it’s a threat to our safety.

Wake up America before it's too late! In a chilling warning of potential abuse by an overreaching Executive Branch, Justice Sotomayor outlined the very real possibility of American citizens being confined to foreign prisons without redress. Here is that portion of her dissenting opinion:

He’s literally going to kill us. Our system was not created for one man to have this much power. The Republican Congress needs to get it the fuck together and stop this insanity.

My dad recently started hospice after nine years of cancer. I can’t even begin to describe the absolute rage I feel about everything happening at NIH.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
