Trump administration keeps saying they can’t bring home any of the illegally detained prisoners from El Salvador. But they have no trouble flying there for photo ops.

Breaking news: Rory McIlroy finally secured his first green jacket and the career Grand Slam with a short birdie putt on the 18th hole, defeating Justin Rose at the Masters.

“.. judging only from price action, we are suddenly witnessing a comprehensive turn away from US assets (stocks, USTs, corporate credit and the dollar). this is the single most important theme to monitor over coming weeks. .. for the moment capital is flowing out of the US.” - GS Desk/Pasquariello

China has offloaded $50 Billion in US Treasury bonds & limited further purchase of Dollars. Meanwhile, an anonymous buyer is purchasing European Bonds.

“As is evident, simply by looking at him, Dear Leader is in exquisite health, having the trim body of an athletic 23-year-old, the mind of an inquisitive genius, an the couth of the most refined men. Truly, the most perfect human walking among we lesser mortals. Praise God!” --The Court Physician

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.

With Elon Musk admitting to Trump's Cabinet that the $1 trillion in government savings he had promised will be closer to $150 billion, an 85% reduction, fans of DOGE are quickly losing faith. Even the $150 billion promise may be a pie-in-the-sky boast. Shocking.🙄 www.rawstory.com/doge-failures/

I am old enough to remember when the first Trump administration met to work on healthcare, including maternity and abortion care. Here is a picture of the event. Do you notice anything?

They done Martha dirty

Of course.

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, said he and his family were evacuated from their home early on Sunday after an arson attack that significantly damaged a section of the governor’s residence.

Warren: Whenever there’s a crisis anywhere in the world—terrible things happen—and investors, you know what they do? Investors go to the United States government treasuries, because damn, it just doesn’t get any safer than that. Except with Donald Trump as president.

Available NOW!! Great new book I helped with. Poisoning the Well, an expose of #PFAS coverup & a firsthand look at communities suffering Superman’s not coming: but people are fighting back. By journalists @sharonudasin & @RachelFrazin bookshop.org/p/books/pois...

Marco Rubio has ensured his place in history for war crimes.

Warren: "There is no tariff policy. It's just all chaos and corruption. That's all we have going on. And how can you believe any of these guys?

BREAKING: Famed Economist Paul Krugman just told Ari Melber: "This Tariff pause is [still] a tariff rate that is higher overall than Smooth-Hawley. This is a bigger shock to the economy than any trade policy in any country’s history."

The Vermont independent told a crowd of thousands of supporters that the U.S. was facing a moment of "extraordinary danger."

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.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

I’m loving Chinese manufacturers airing luxury brand’s dirty laundry on TikTok. [Source: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjRMTmyP/ ]

Great question!? 🙋🏽‍♀️

If the FDA employees weren't necessary, how are the new contractors necessary? FDA to replace laid-off employees with contractors, sources say www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-rep...

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

Anyone still on X? It is simply another revenue stream for Musk. Shut it down, there are plenty of other Social Media forums to absorb the former X account holders. Bluesky, Mastodon, and many others.

😂

WELKER: Consumer confidence has plummeted. Inflation fears are at the highest level since 1981 NAVARRO: But we did have the greatest rally in stock market history for many decades last week WELKER: But it's down from when the president announced his policies overall

Seems pretty clear that doge is a total scam

Does anyone in the White House even know what is going on?

My congressman,Sam Graves, hasn’t had a townhall since 2012. We are having them in his absence.

The government plans to call Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg to the witness stand. The trial is expected to run nearly two months in a federal courtroom in Washington.

If I were an editor at a prestigious national publication I would simply ask writers to define what they mean by words like "forced" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

After much thought I have decided we will be better off if the felon dies simply because Vance doesn't have the charisma to continue to convince Republicans to go against their own interests.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."
