Before they exiled the kids, they used them as hostages. I hate this so much. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

You mean exiled.

This is so bizarre. Ultimately, Burgum will be blamed when DOGE cost cutting affects National Parks, our most popular public agency. Why delegate when you are going to eat the blame? Something to be said for Cabinet officials who care about their political reputation rather than billionaires.

6 weeks ago today, planes flew a few hundred people to El Salvador, where they’re being held at CECOT — a place from which Salvadoran officials brag no one is ever released — at US expense. Their continued detention there is our continued shame.

“He is terrified, he won’t go outside, he won’t go to class.” A USF grad student with an expunged record for a misdemeanor allegation had his visa revoked—and spent his lifesavings fighting it—only for DHS to reverse course and reinstate his status. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

Truly apropos of nothing, one of the most inexplicable parts of Trump Era media coverage has been the total lack of interest in his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. They were very close friends! Ghislane recruited girls AT MAR-A-LAGO. There's video of them giggling as they watch young girls dance!

I think we should raise the salience of this.

THEY HAVE DEPORTED A TWO YEAR OLD CHILD BIRTHRIGHT CITIZEN This is why I have no patience anymore for people playing games with this stuff.

If New York elects Cuomo you are just not a serious city. Don't bother us with your little in-the-know New Yorkisms anymore. They are no longer cute. Learn to say "in line" like every other normal dipshit in this country who can't stop electing right wing Democrats.

Trump's deportation force is currently holding three times as many people at Krome as their capacity. Two of the detainees have died. Reportedly more than 40 women are being held at this all-male facility. Reports of lack of water and food, unsanitary conditions and medical neglect.

Luigi Mangione's attorney Karen Agnifilo said during a hearing that the Manhattan DA's office informed her that someone listened to an attorney-client call — but it was "inadvertent." "We were just informed by state court prosecutors that they were eavesdropping on all of Mr. Mangione’s calls."

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

Telling my boss that I've written 200 beautiful emails and I'll be revealing them very strongly in the next few weeks. I can't say who I sent the emails to or what they were about but the response has been frankly very positive and I think you'll be very happy

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

What is the cost to taxpayers of this strategy of ignoring the law, being sued, losing, and then backtracking the illegal policy?

We’ve already fought wars over this right. It is very clear how citizens should/will respond to government attempts to intrude on their domicile without a warrant. Trump and Bondi are going to get agents killed (and cost the government significantly) unless they are stopped by congress/courts.

The Justice Dept. has authorized law enforcement officers to GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES WITHOUT SEARCH WARRANTS if they suspect that someone is an "alien enemy" I talked to @usatoday.com about Attorney General Bondi's "Guidance for Implementing the Alien Enemies Act," links below

Let's say Harris won last year and Vance was holding 10k-20k person rallies where he railed against left-wing "oligarchy." Would the CW be that this was crazy and a waste of time? Or would we be seeing NYT op-eds and A1s about what "oligarchy" is and why the GOP base was on fire about it?

Bad math. The costs far exceed the savings. Therefore there are no savings. Combine that with the disruption of vital services and DOGE has been an unmitigated disaster and complete failure.

i feel like trumpcoin, and the fact that we never talk about it, is pretty emblematic of the way the press refuses to grapple with trump. it exists in order to pay him bribes. it expressly gives you political access. it does not pretend to have a licit motive. it was a one-day scandal.

What they are taking from DOGE is a) the idea of state surveillance, b) targeting research and c) increasing red tape.

Think about what it says that France, South Korea, China, etc., are all pushing back on — or outright denying — the timeline for trade deals from the President and Treasury Secretary.

This has always been an obvious problem with their slapdash approach. You can temporarily “save money” on paper by deciding to randomly stop paying bills. But if it turns out you needed some of that stuff, it’s ultimately going to be more expensive.

everyone who said dems needed to be fighting for every single inch and delaying trump’s staffing and govt funding as much as possible was right. everyone who said to lay low and wait for trump to self-impeach was wrong.
