Lock up Pam Bondi for contempt of court until they bring home the man mistakenly sent to El Salvador. A little while in jail will make her act.

Shame on any college or university that allows anyone from the Trump administration to work on campus overseeing admissions, hiring, course offerings, foreign students, opinions voiced by American citizens who are faculty or students, or any other higher ed operations. Be like Harvard.

Bravo, @harvard.edu! Which university will step up now to display your independence and academic freedom? Which university will capitulate and allow Trump to set your admissions guidelines, hiring policies, course lineup, and demand firing the “critical mass” of all faculty? Stand up! Fight back!

Trump and Musk are robbing Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid so that billionaires get more tax cuts. We’ve paid into these programs all our working lives to protect ourselves from poverty in our old age. But now the assholes are taking our money so the rich get richer and we just suffer.

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

Ran into a guy wearing a NOAA sweatshirt in Charleston SC last night. I told him I’d be thinking of and praying for him. He said they just got word that their little Charleston office would be closed. In Charleston. On the coast. In a hub of hurricanes. Make it make sense.

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

The Greenville & Spartanburg Democratic Party chairs put out a joint statment today about Peter Navarro's false claims about BMW in Upstate SC. We refuse to be pawns in the Trump admin's political games.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

A Texas doctor with active measles is treating patients while he has measles. His license should be revoked and he should be sued by every patient for malpractice and assault. Being educated doesn’t mean you’re not stupid.

Now Trump says he wants to send US citizens who are convicted of violent crimes to the El Salvador prison. Has he lost his mind? We know he has, but good god. I’m not an attorney but even I know that’s illegal.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

I don’t get what Trump’s deal with the shower is. I think he’s just cheap and has crappy shower heads and old pipes at Mar-a-lago. And if he needs to flush 10 times after using the bathroom, he’s got problems Kohler can’t solve.

If there’s a job I’ve been dreaming about, Howard Lutnick, it is putting screws in iPhones. Bring on the American manufacturers so we can pay $3,000 for a cell phone.

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

What is “yippy?” Is it the same as mad as hell? Because that’s where I reside under the Trump administration. What an utter FUBAR.

The forced birthers always ignore the facts. Thanks @waltermasterson.bsky.social and crew for calling them out on it. Hate I missed y’all that day! Thanks for being there in solidarity!

Trump said he hates it when people call tariffs a “tax.” So from now on, we should only call them taxes.

“I know what the hell I’m doing. These countries are calling us up kissing my ass. They are dying to make a deal. ‘Please, please, sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything. I’ll do anything, sir,’” Trump told his adoring audience. He loves that “sir” thing. When we’re being screwed, you aren’t “sir.”

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Elections have consequences

My brother is an SAE @adamkinzinger.bsky.social. I didn’t say “was,” I said “is,” because we consider our membership and commitment to our creeds to be for a lifetime. I remember helping him memorize this his freshman year and he can still recite it, as I can my Delta Zeta creed. Words to live by.

It was always a lie. “We’ll stop at 12 weeks.” Sort of like “women who have miscarriages are protected.” And “abortion is allowed if your health is at risk.” Women and GIRLS are still dying. And still being arrested for miscarriages.

This does not look like college kids playing basketball. Houston has some grown ass men.

How’s this for a headline? Man, but this is one dumb, cruel asshole.

For the love of god, vaccinate your children. It’s hard enough to keep them safe and healthy — don’t lose your babies to preventable diseases.

Why hasn’t any reporter asked Trump when he will start manufacturing his tacky red hats in the USA instead of China?

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

lol

Congress has always had the power over tariffs. All they need to do is take back what power they’ve given the president. They need to act now - not 60 days later.

I didn’t want this to happen. I voted for the smart black lady.

Last time he told you not "not to worry" half a million Americans died of Covid.

It’s easy for multi-millionaires Trump, Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick to dismiss the drop in the stock market. They’ll be fine. But for those of us for whom our 401k is our only retirement plan, this BFD. And not in a good way.

Not our day but @GamecockWBB is MY team. All day. Every day. No. Matter. What. #Gamecocks always. So proud of this team. WE WILL BE BACK!

I still #BELIEVE! How about the rest of my #Gamecocks? @GamecockWBB

LFG #Gamecocks! Beat those huskies.

Here’s an update on the guy in charge of finding fraud in our government.
