If what the capitulating law firms told the NY Times is correct, then they are the most incompetent lawyers in America. It isn't possible that they thought that they made a deal with Donald Trump and he was getting nothing and it would not come back to bite them.

All married women need to change their name back to maiden name

Marco Rubio says that Americans living in Europe shouldn't ever have to face any ramifications for their political speech online. The chutzpah is jaw-dropping, as he is PERSONALLY trying to deport legal immigrants for their political speech in the United States.

Welp, this speaks for itself

NOTE: There are more people *in this frame of television* than there are transgender athletes in the State of Maine *All* of this is theater for stupid people

“Now a team of researchers is offering what it contends is the strongest indication yet of extraterrestrial life, not in our solar system but on a massive planet, known as K2-18b, that orbits a star 120 light-years from Earth.” Right in our backyard! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/s...

Some abuses cut so deep. My first vote in 1993 was to establish Americorps, and since then I have met so many bright, promising, inspirational young people whose door to the future was opened by experience volunteering. Musk/Trump again chokes off growth. www.king5.com/article/news...

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

Only 25 countries in the world are fully functioning democracies - and the US isn’t one of them, report claims (Canada is a full democracy) The new Democracy Index for 2024 suggests global democracy in decline despite a year full of elections worldwide www.independent.co.uk/news/world/d...

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

Stocks sink after Powell warns that Trump's tariffs have the potential to put the economy on a path to higher inflation

There are two words you never want to hear from a Fed chairman, and they are "challenging" and "scenario" www.wsj.com/economy/cent...

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

We fought a civil war to get this into the Constitution. No one who claims to be a patriot may ignore it. Read it out loud three times, and note the difference between rights of citizens and rights of persons within our jurisdiction. There is ZERO truth to the idea that immigrants can be deported

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

Trump must think America has had it too good for too long, because now he’s getting the world off the dollar as a reserve currency. Watch Barry Ritholtz explain what that means for us on the LP Podcast: youtu.be/9B3q5-3vjtY

John Oliver on the administration's tariff math: "It'd be like trying to figure out the square footage of your home by dividing your phone number by your dog's age."

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. ⤵️

Trump orders government to stop tracking cancers in U.S. firefighters. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

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.

A very good question!

The trade war between the US and China has spurred Brazil’s agricultural sector and pummelled American farmers. “It is a boon for farmers in Brazil and Argentina, and it will help their industry a lot,” points out a lead agriculture analyst. on.ft.com/42oB1f2

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

Here it is: Republicans told us in Project 2025 that they’d eliminate Head Start.  Now, they’re doing it.  Their concern for high costs, for kids, for parents — all lies. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

A very, very good question.

BREAKING: Famed Economist Paul Krugman just told Ari Melber: "This Tariff pause is [still] a tariff rate that is higher overall than Smooth-Hawley. This is a bigger shock to the economy than any trade policy in any country’s history."

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

isn’t that their job

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development
