Either the U.S. government is able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Just watched the Home Counties private schoolboy Nigel Farage telling northern voters how he understands steelworkers because he used to work in the “metals business” himself. He was, ahem, a commodities trader at the London Metal Exchange in the City.

It is worth reminding people that the UK Labour government have repeatedly told us that any trade deal with the US would NOT see a lowering of UK food standards. So I don't know why we keep seeing people suggesting it would. We had the business secretary say it this last weekend: 1/4

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

🧵 We must learn from history—or risk repeating it. During 1989–91, the U.S. experienced over 55,000 measles cases and around 120 child deaths—mostly among unvaccinated, uninsured preschoolers. This led to the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, which provides free vaccines to eligible kids.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

So, the so-called President who “accidentally” sent Abrego Garcia to an El Salvadoran gulag doesn’t “have the power” to bring him back, and the President who imprisoned him there doesn’t “have the power” to send him back? So who the fuck does? The Care Bears? Batman? What the actual fuck???

Please don’t underestimate how much FUN Donald Trump, Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele, Stephen Miller and Pam Bondi had today pissing on the grave of Abrego Garcia—a permanent legal resident of America with no record, a US-citizen wife, and 3 US-citizen kids. This is their JAM.

Another appalling story of deportations to CECOT based on virtually no evidence and no due process. One small note; the timelines in this story are a bit off (the flight was on March 15, there's no way the guy talked with his son on March 16). I've reached out to the reporter to flag.

Can’t say more strongly: they are claiming the power to disappear people with no recourse, to entirely remove anyone they want to, forever, with no ability to stop them. “Unamerican” doesn’t do it justice. Diametrically opposed to anything even remotely resembling a society we should support.
