Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

Ooops! Watch as Vice President JD Vance appears to drop the National Championship trophy following the celebration at the White House with OSU. Watch the full celebration here: youtube.com/watch?v=VJuT...

How long, in minutes, would it have taken the GOP to introduce articles of impeachment against Clinton, Obama, or Biden if they had said they were going to ship American citizens to a prison in El Salvador? 15? Less?

It is pretty wild to think of Barack Obama sitting with someone from Central America and going “well uhhhh I think it would be a good idea to uhhhh send American citizens to your secret prisons” and the media just being like oh ok that’s dope man anyways how about TARIFFS

These two posts: * “We need to treat antifa and BLM like terrorist organizations,” said Joe Kent, Trump’s pick to lead counter-terrorism efforts. * Trump to Bukele (president of El Salvador): “Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It’s not big enough.” 1/

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

This is horrifying and should, in any reasonable world, lead to immediate impeachment. On a hot mic, before the media arrived, starting around 7:15 on the time index, Trump tells Bukele he is going to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvadoran gulags. This is fascism.

President of El Salvador says he won't return mistakenly deported man to U.S. Trump’s administration claimed it had no responsibility to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the U.S. despite an order from the Supreme Court. This is Trump’s new America. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

People love to list useless things done by Roman emperors, namely Caligula’s declaring war on the sea. But a technocrat “conquering space” w/an 11 min 🚀 flight carrying a brigade of rich female celebrities—when ticket $ combined are worth the entire NEH budget for a yr—is beyond Caligula levels imo.

Trump admin officials who have conceded that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was erroneously removed to El Salvador: 1. Solicitor General John Sauer, in a filing at SCOTUS 2. ICE official Robert Cerna, in a sworn declaration 3. DOJ lawyer Erez Reuveni, in court filings and at a hearing

Steven Miller’s new theory, that a "saboteur," "Democrat" DOJ atty invented the idea that Abrego Garcia was mistakenly removed to CECOT—is false. The error was admitted, on 3/31, by Robert Cerna, an ICE acting field office director: 1/3 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

Elon Musk now admits his Department of Government Efficiency will produce only 15% of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

MILLER: “A DOJ lawyer, who has since been relieved of duty, a saboteur, a Democrat, put into a filing that this was a mistaken removal. It was not.” Astonishing stuff — DOJ conceded even to SCOTUS that the deportation was “administrative error.” Is Trump’s Solicitor General also a saboteur?

Stephen Miller is a liar and a propagandist and while there is clear value in understanding what he's saying as a means of understanding what the administration is doing, not a single fact out of his mouth can be trusted.

John Oliver on Trump’s “incredibly stupid” retaliatory tariffs calculations

Trump's moves are already imposing immense costs on the United States and on the world via lost scientific progress on preventing Alzheimer's, curing cancer, etc.

Here’s the “good faith disagreement” this book praises. They felt we needed more of this.

For whatever reason this part of the 'kid who killed his parents and wanted to assassinate Trump story' doesn't seem to be getting as much play. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It looks very much like the Department of Homeland Security memo seeking to revoke Ozturk's visa copied language directly from the Canary Mission website. Is DHS just following the "deport list" from an anonymous website? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

The Trump administration just got into very deep trouble with the Supreme Court order. On left: DOJ claims USG only needs to "facilitate the return" of Abrego Garcia (via domestic policy) On right: Supreme Court 9-0 held USG must "facilitate Abrego Garcia's RELEASE FROM CUSTODY in El Salvador"

I'm a lawyer and this is correct. Straight line of "blatantly illegal constitutional end-runs to violate human rights" from Iran–Contra to Gitmo to CECOT paved by the only consequences the perpetrators suffering being more money, more power, and more prestige.

Imbecile 🤭

This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper. And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that. Gift link wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

“.. judging only from price action, we are suddenly witnessing a comprehensive turn away from US assets (stocks, USTs, corporate credit and the dollar). this is the single most important theme to monitor over coming weeks. .. for the moment capital is flowing out of the US.” - GS Desk/Pasquariello

How New Washington works: Companies have been bilking the govts out of billions for "skin bandages" that don't do much Biden moved to crack down Then a company donated $2M to Trump super-PAC After that, Trump publicly praised the product, and froze the crackdown www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/h...

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

I am not sure that I have ever seen a post that so fundamentally misunderstands the motivations and skill set of federal employees. Set aside the meaning of "productivity." The federal employees that the Trump administration has sought to remove are not going into manufacturing.

This can’t happen soon enough. He’s an aspiring, modern-day Heinrich Himmler.

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.” That is dangerously false. www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

“For electronics, at least, we’re now putting much higher tariffs on intermediate goods used in manufacturing than on final goods. This actually discourages manufacturing in the United States.”

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

“If I were president… I will end that war in one day, it would take 24 hours.” “I would get that ended in a period of 24 hours. It would be easy, that deal would be easy.” Instead, he grants his fellow psychopath latitude for ongoing mass murder. Insults Zelenskyy. Envoy: “Putin’s not a bad guy.”

Musk's DOGE goons physically dragged a high-ranking Social Security executive from his desk for not going along with their plan to list more than 6,000 migrants as dead despite being alive. www.thedailybeast.com/doge-goons-p...

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

You can see our court filing here: link.status.news/4j1VOvW

The United States Supreme Court, as packed by the Federalist Society, as supported by the Randy Barretts and Ilya Shapiros and Jonathan Turleys of America, is suited to squabble over what “facilitate” means but not to achieve justice or protect or defend the United States Constitution.

This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.

I tell my undergrads that my 20th c lecture course revolves around two big questions — what is America and who counts as American?
