What’s the heritage? Losing?

Yes. Watch the @60minutes.bsky.social segment. The photojournalist talked about what happened. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/ven...

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

According to Alito, the Trump administration told a judge at a Friday night hearing that it did not plan to deport more migrants to El Salvador on Friday or Saturday, so there was no need for SCOTUS to halt any flights. I read the hearing transcript. Alito is wrong. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

So glad that members are going down to El Salvador to personally investigate what our government has been doing to over 250 men we’ve sent to be imprisoned for no crime without any trials.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Nearly a third of independent businesses in Georgia have already experienced significant or moderate price increases from tariffs, according to a first-quarter survey of 700 such companies by the Atlanta-based nonprofit group Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

It’s been 27 days since ICE sent Andry (the make-up artist with “mom” & “dad” tattoos that ICE claimed were TdA tattoos) to be imprisoned in El Salvador. Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and @repdexteror.bsky.social for not forgetting him.

@vegavandal.bsky.social This is what I mean, how much of a “Bessent’s got this” bid has there been in markets from people with access to him?

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

X is 110% wholeheartedly FUCKED!

This seems quite obviously unconstitutional?

The Everson Museum, Syracuse, NY, is one of the few that recognize contemporary ceramic art. One of my cups is part of a currrent fundraiser at the Everson. The museum is very worth supporting. Find yourself a new cup. You may bid here: www.32auctions.com/organization...

I did not have Gustavo Dudamel/LA Philharmonic/Cynthia Erivo/Purple Rain on my Coachella 2025 Bingo card But thankful it happened

Expect more headlines like this. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Uh fuck no???

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

BREAKING: Education Department says it will begin collection on student loans for over 5 million borrowers in default.

Absolutely unacceptable that neither The Washington Post nor The New York Times have a copy of the complaint in or linked in their stories!

#IsAmericaGreatYet since USA shithole government started applying #VPKrasnov4547 philosophy regarding SARS-CoV-2 testing to *ALL* public health issues?! 🤬 www.medpagetoday.com/washington-w...

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

Yes we can.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

Mind-boggling that DHS's official position on this case is genuinely that a US citizen dad from Albuquerque visiting family in Tucson went up to a Border Patrol agent and said "Hi, I'm a Mexican man who entered here illegally, please deport me." Do they think we are dumb?

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Without the courts who will he complain to about this?

Among the awful here: He used his personal phone. What a sloppy mess: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

This is the game. Unite and then manipulate the data for whatever mischief you want to do www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

Much of the IT and cybersecurity infrastructure underpinning the US health system is in danger of a possible collapse following a purge of IT staff and leadership at the Dept. of Health and Human Services, four current and former agency workers tell WIRED.

Tom Homan on ABC does not deny that the administration's position is they have a right to grab people off the street and deport them without a hearing

i always like some source for these types of claims. so did a little search and here it is: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

Past performance is indicative of future performance. A drunk, abusive womanizer who doesn’t believe in washing hands after a piss might not have been the best pick. Everyone in the intel profession knew that he & Waltz shared that info like schoolboys. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

i will remark again on this hallmark of maga politics, which is that trump embodies the organic will of the voters and this imbues him with sovereign power that cannot be checked or limited by any other institution in the society.

Nearly half of people currently detained by ICE/CBP have no criminal charges, yet some are being held in conditions that would be unacceptable in high-security prisons. Admin has eliminated oversight bodies ensured health/safety requirements are met www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
