Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

A third Hegseth official is out. But still not Hegseth himself? The lack of accountability and personal responsibility at the top is unprecedented. And no doubt there’s more chaos to come. And all this the day after the Pentagon announced the loss of two US servicemembers at the Mexican border.

In today's bonus "One First," I look at the power that federal district judges currently have to appoint private special prosecutors to try criminal contempt of court, and why #SCOTUS likely wouldn't—and, in my (perhaps surprising) view, *shouldn't*—uphold it: www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-143-...

The US gov is disappearing innocent ppl to dark site prisons, defying the courts & refusing to fix their “administrative errors” It’s against everything America is about Trump said he would be a dictator on day 1 & he never stopped

Tr*mp is now officially 6'3" 224 pounds with 4.8% body fat. The Mister Universe contesters are frightened he might join the May 25, 2025 Competition in Austria.

"Visiting America is not an entitlement. It is a privilege extended to those who respect our laws and values,” Marco Rubio wrote in an opinion piece for Fox News." You know, like the values in his native Floridistan where freedom equals the deaths of innocent children by assault rifles.

Oh fuck. They're going back to save Hitler, aren't they?

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

“One of the top MS-13 members”? This woman is an officer of the court and the Attorney General of the United States. She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility. Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

In today's edition of "Not A Drag Queen!" patch.com/florida/brad...

Trump has taken the most powerful country in the world, with the greatest alliances, and the strongest economy, and flushed it down the toilet based on his understanding of politics in 1984 and trade deficits. The greatest self shot to the nut sack in history

The administration’s lies about this case are insane.

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now. We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done. We will rally every corner of the U.S. We will not stop until they actually vote no.

Pierre Poilievre cannot be trusted

The only thing missing from the reporting is what Trump said to the heads of these law firms: "Some day, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me."

The Social Security website keeps crashing so people can't access their benefits portal. Some Americans even got error messages saying they aren't getting payments at all. What's DOGE's response? Fire half of the Social Security tech team. I'm pushing back.

Remember back all those years ago when Pete Hegseth held a top secret national security conversation on Signal?

Mélanie Joly on Prime Minister Mark Carney

If the judge is looking for an attorney to prosecute the Trump administration for contempt of court... 🙋‍♂️

Trump, Musk & their cronies have launched a massive attack on fed. government workers Allies of workers are pushing back Tomorrow @ 8:15 pm ET I’ll join an all-star lineup of pro-democracy leaders to discuss the wave of litigation against DOGE—& what’s next:

Well, if he's not father of the year, then fucking PROVE IT in court, you toady c--t.

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell must be so embarrassed they never thought of gutting Social Security by inventing a fake government department with no oversight or accountability and having it chainsaw the entire system.

🚨BREAKING: A group of law students, represented by Democracy Forward, filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from gaining access to sensitive personal information. Paige and I discuss the courage of these students and the ongoing assault on the legal profession. youtu.be/NTP3Agz4K4Q

As usual, indispensable analysis to understand what is really going on in the Abrego Garcia case and what is likely to happen next.

“They’re not really using AI, they’re not really driving efficiency. What they’re doing is smashing everything,” the former official said. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

They should be more concerned

Holy shit, just learned that RFK Jr's "Children's Health Defense" website made a fake CDC page with false anti-vax information linking vaccines to autism. They took down the page after the NY Times started asking questions:

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

If he’s “America first” then I’m Sabrina Carpenter. 💋📉#FeesFeesFees #Tariffs #NewVideo #Parody

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...
