BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

Donald Trump on Russia attacking Ukraine on Palm Sunday: "I was told they made a mistake." What do they have on him?

initial reports made this sound like a minor failed attempt

Good question!

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

This is to the shame of our country

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

"So it's not that they won't be subject to tariffs geared at reshoring, they'll just be under a different regime. It's shifting from one bucket of tariffs to a different bucket of potential tariffs." -U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on the electronics tariffs

Former commander of Pituffik Susan Meyers must have known that she would be fired for this. But apparently she found there are bigger considerations at stake than keeping her command. Question is if we'll see more of this sort in coming months? Berlingske has obtained her leaked email #Defence

@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."

The VA is having mental health clinicians work in cubicle farms and tell veterans they can’t guarantee their privacy because of SecVA’s asinine return to work order. There isn’t room! Veterans will suffer. That’s the real goal. Force VA to fail. The price? Veterans. Enough is enough.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

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!

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

SCOTUS: Facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia JUDGE XINIS: Tell me what you're doing to return him DOJ: We need a week XINIS: You have 3 hours DOJ: No There's supposed to be a hearing in 10 minutes.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

We keep hearing about "agreements" btw Trump and law firms or Trump and universities. Where are they? What are they? Are they really committed to paper? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/why-a...

We cannot abandon this young man- a gay makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison, by a disgraced former Milwaukee cop with major credibility issues He is Andry Hernández Romero. God knows what will happen to him. Call your representatives. Call the WH. We care

Say it with us: “constitutional crisis”

We had trade agreements around the world. We broke them. Now we have to renegotiate, in a rush, without expertise, with countries who know their interests and who cannot trust us. Here’s how that puts America First. by Peter Navarro

So basically he moved the deck chairs around a little.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Ok sorry but getting on my soapbox to say that this isn’t a u-turn or a 180 or even a pause on tariffs. The MASSIVE tariffs are gone but BIG tariffs are still in place. And more so than before last week. Frame it right.

Cult of personality watch. These are not the habits of a democratic movement.

Don’t be misled by yesterday’s market rebound. The economic crisis is not over. Downturn remains likely. Trade conflict remains a threat to markets, jobs and growth. And irreparable damage has been done to US assets and the country’s standing by the recklessness and ignorance of the administration.

💥 "90 day delay except China" was leaked 1 day before the actual announcement. This is the biggest insider trading scheme in history.

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Dear media, STOP CALLING THEM RECIPROCAL. THEY ARE UNILATERAL TAXES ON AMERICANS. ~ Everyone

Wild that it’s just now sinking in who actually pays for the tariffs (Hint: Small business owners, American consumers, etc.)

Just like that we’re not talking about signalgate.

An actual opposition party would be all over TV for the next 10 days reminding people of this tariff bullshit, letting people know that Congress has the power to end this, and getting to work on doing just that. Instead all that exists is the Democratic party so none of this will happen.

Deporting people means a judge signs a final deportation order, and the person is returned to their own country. What we are doing is kidnapping a person off the street and paying for them to be held indefinitely in concentration camps outside US courts' jurisdiction. 100% deliberately extralegal.
