How long before we find out there’s no deal with China and this stock market rally was just another way for them to manipulate the markets?

Pete Hegseth just ordered the installation of a makeup studio at the Pentagon for him to prepare for his television appearances, which will cost thousands of taxpayer dollars to build.

Registries for pregnant women and children with autism, but no registry for guns?

Trump is now on Twitter posting doctored photos of the tattoos of Kilmar Garcia. The whole world knows we have a deranged lunatic in the White House—and no one seems to know what to do about it. He is so obviously mentally unwell that there is no longer any serious debate about whether that is so.

So much damage

While we realize these "leaders" are craven, evil, and just terrible... let's not forget that they are also ignorant, incompetent, and deeply stupid.

Want to prevent mass shootings? Stop electing people like this.

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

“We have a system of checks and balances. A tyrant can always be stopped as long as congress has a spine.” Congress:

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

What Lisa Murkowski said tells you very clearly that while the Congress is more powerful than the President, with the power to shut this down... they are either for all of this or cowering in corners and abdicating responsibility for any of it.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

Wealthy, powerful, faux Christian white people are destroying this country because they hate non whites, women, and they hate non conformity. They want all the money, power, and they want us beige and soulless for the machine. Fuck them all.

BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen just confirmed: Trump is colluding with El Salvador to violate a U.S. Supreme Court order. Worse? They're using American taxpayer money to torture a man with zero evidence of any crime. Republicans? Dead silent. This isn’t just illegal — It’s evil.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

A plea. Can we stop declaring this a “constitutional crisis?” It’s bigger. It’s a crisis about fundamental American ideals and structures. “Constitutional crisis” makes it sound like an abstract lawyerly crisis It’s bigger.

I Agree! You?😊💙

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

How did Katy Perry manage to do something more cringe than marrying Russell Brand?

OMG. RFK Jr. at the "Make Indiana Healthy Again" talking about autism: "This whole generation of kids is damaged." This is what he thinks of kids with autism? That they're "damaged?" Reprehensible.

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.

BECAUSE… WOW

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Did I mention they are all evil, too
