‘People were burned alive in their cars’: As peace talks falter, Ukrainians resign themselves to fighting on

INBOX: Yikes — Senator @PaulBaileyforTN (R) called out for ducking pastors before voting to block undocumented kids from schools, and Senator Tom Hatcher (R) allegedly lied to pastors and said he’d oppose it, then voted for it. 😕 🤥

FLORIDA 🌴🦩 University of Florida - International student Felipe Zapata Velásquez was detained & deported by ICE during a traffic stop. Students and faculty protest in Gainesville. "Justice for Felipe" #3E #USprotests #FloridaProtests #FuckICE

Bill Maher saying the fact that he met and had a *nice" conversation with Trump doesn't mean he's gone all MAGA before introducing tonight's guest...Steve Bannon. You can't make this shit up

The administration is going to run into a legal bind. (1) As a baseline OUTER limit, the written agreement with El Salvador is limited to 1 year. (2) The text reads: "pending the United States’ decision on their long term disposition."

A very, very good question.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1963: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is arrested and jailed in Birmingham, Ala., for his anti-segregation protests. Dozens of other protestors were also arrested for defying an injunction against their activities. /1

Do yourself a favor and read this. It is really good!!

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

Unprecedented lying & constitutional crimes, now happening daily

If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

@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."

In Ukraine’s Zhytomyr region, public outrage erupted after a local hospital director ordered the closure of the neurology department and laid off staff. In response, furious residents staged a protest — and threw the official who signed the order into a dumpster. #3E

Sanders: When Trump looks out at this crowd… they pay attention to this stuff, Elon Musk does. You are scaring the hell out of them. Because they know what we know: They are the 1% and we are the 99%

"Cut off nose to spite face" File: If the US is going to claim it loses control over people when it sends them to a foreign prison as an appendage of the US penal system, that Trump Admin strategy is dead because no US court is going to permit relinquishing jurisdiction in these circumstances.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

US ‘demands control’ from Ukraine of key pipeline carrying Russian gas

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

As tensions between the U.S. and China escalate over President Trump’s tariffs, JD Vance sparked acrimony by referring to its people as “peasants” in a Fox… VP Vance the voice of an “Ugly American.” Crude. Insulting. Harmful to our diplomacy. These “peasants” have built a sophisticated nation.

So Trump *has* conceded he has the ability to bring GarcĂ­a back. So not doing so would be contempt of court.

WHAT DO THESE GENIUSES THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MANUFACTURING JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY IF THERE IS A RECESSION !?!?!?!?!?!!?

When Trump, Musk, and MAGA extremists try to gut Social Security and slash Medicaid to fund billionaire tax breaks, our seniors say: Hands off! We’re not backing down. We’re just getting started.

Here is Steve Witkoff securing his spot in the history books when people point out that the US Trump regime sided with Putin during World War 3.

"The bond market is not like the Supreme Court, or Paul Weiss, or Columbia University, or any of the other institutions Trump has conquered, co-opted, or corrupted." "He cannot scare it into submission. He cannot bribe it." from @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-fina...

After destroying the US economy and carrying out massive insider fraud that has made his collaborators and billionaire sponsors wealthier, the Trump regime has set its eyes on the next crime, robbing Ukraine. Here is Trump's proposed partition of Ukraine vs Ukraine's minerals.

Ukraine does not owe the United States a single dollar, everything the US provided and has yet to provide is owed to Ukraine. The US is the debtor and nobody should fucking forget that. These aren't donations, they are debts.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

The U.S. offering “protection” to Greenland in exchange for control isn’t diplomacy—it’s organized racketeering in a suit. This is how the mob works. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

New: Trump says he will comply with Supreme Court compelling the govt to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US after he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador — “If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back I would do that. I respect the Supreme Court,” Trump said per pool

“Taking an increasingly combative stance, the administration defied a federal judge’s order to provide a written road map of its plans to free the man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. Trump officials then repeatedly stonewalled her efforts to get the most basic information about him at a hearing.”
