He is gonna accidentally kill the pope or set fire to the sistine chapel or something

There is more evidence behind the claim "JD Vance killed the pope" than there is behind the claim that any of the people renditioned to the slave camp in El Salvador are gang members.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

I don’t believe in coincidences

Holy shit! #timberwolves

Q: "do undocumented immigrants have freedoms?" Scalia: "anybody who's present in the United States has protections under the Constitution" Ginsberg: the Constitution "doesn't speak of citizens ... our constitution says person and the person is every person" www.youtube.com/shorts/eh_cb...

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Why would Ellie Kemper agree to be “Kohl’s Mom”? Is she being extorted?

The second group is dumb and should be purged from the party

Umm, there are THREE SEASONS of Love on the Spectrum, bitch!

What’s giving Dems the impression that “waiting for their pitch” and “not getting distracted” is even remotely working? It just appears that they’re doing nothing…

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Bondi says she's looking at suing Minnesota and California next over their accommodations for trans people, saying "they are the top two that should be on notice"

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

The cop who provided the Gang Interview Sheet that is the main basis for the MS-13 claim was suspended and indicted for serious professional misconduct, as we reported today: newrepublic.com/article/1940...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

I have had The Muppets Theme song in my head since the mid-1980’s. Is that normal?

We now return you to your regularly scheduled bullshit...

NPR’s Steven Inskeep: “If I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?”

there's so many layers of fraud and abuse in this story that "someone might have been trying to log into the NLRB's systems with a valid Doge username and password from russia" doesn't even make it into the first 5,000 words

i'm watching a group of conservative law professors insist that there is a grand debate over birthright citizenship that somehow escaped generations of scholarship and only popped into existence after a right-wing president announced an effort to nullify the 14th amendment.

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

Joel should choose a therapist that didn’t have such a big conflict of interest!! #TheLastofUs

Let's do our jobs. Speak clearly what we know well. Help each other understand our world. Tenure is made for moments like this, to boost your security & courage. Truth & solidarity is the only path. Silence won't save you.

NGL…I got a little nervous… #timberwolves

"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil" "Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs." Free this man immediately. apnews.com/article/mahm...

The Wisconsin GOP is trying to pass a draconian bill that will cause huge coverage loss for eligible Medicaid beneficiaries. It's classic administrative burden-making it much harder to renew benefits, including *forbidding automated renewals*.
