Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. And he’s a rapist.

Trump Looks to Avoid Casting Blame in Texas Flood as Democrats Question Cuts

Please keep perspective on the NWS role. I guarantee that even if the DOGE cuts impacted them, either in number of folks available or expertise shown the door, the professionals still there are busting their asses to do the best they can. They’re traumatized too.

As I understand it, elements of the “Big Bastard of a Bill” like no tax on tips and reduced tax on Medicare expire in four years where the billionaire perks are permanent. Has anyone in the press compared what’s permanent and what’s only temporary?

I don’t think there’s been enough mention that R’s made sure the Draconian impacts only occur AFTER the midterms. Hide the cuts to your healthcare until they get your vote. Shameful

Trump considering adding another 36 countries to his no travel list: report State Department memo asks diplomats from 36 countries to meet new requirements or face travel restrictions

To be clear, we’re asking countries to make changes in their processes OR agree to allow us to dump undocumented immigrants in their country? WTF?

Trump asks the Supreme Court to neutralize the Convention Against Torture Trump’s lawyers claim they’ve found a loophole that will allow Trump to ship immigrants overseas to be tortured.

Just when I think the attack on our values has hit bottom, Trump’s DOJ asks for a loophole to avoid the Convention on Torture. Not for felons, not for terrorists, but for undocumented immigrants. We’re losing our souls.

The Seven Ugliest Provisions in Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Weakened courts, happy heirs, and work requirements. The House-passed version of Donald Trump's tax plan takes from poor, gives to rich.

“Penn Wharton, Trump's alma mater, finds that most households earning less than $51,000 will immediately see their after-tax income drop.

Meanwhile, the bill boosts incomes of members of the top 1% by nearly $70,000 in the first year alone…”

ICE deports another Salvadoran man in defiance of court order ICE agents earlier this month deported Jordin Melgar-Salmeron to El Salvador, despite a federal court order allowing him to stay in the U.S.

TIMELINE ABREGO GARCIA GANG ALLEGATIONS - SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION. 2011-2019: Entry and Early Life: Kilmar Abrego Garcia flees El Salvador to the US at age 16, after M-18 gang members extort his family and threaten to kill him and rape his sisters if they didn’t keep paying. He moves in with his US citizen brother in Maryland and lives there without trouble for years. March 28, 2019: PGPD Arrest. Kilmar is arrested for loitering outside Home Depot while looking for day labor. A Prince Georges County PD detective grills him about whether he’s a gang member. He denies any involvement. Four hours later, he is transferred to ICE custody, without PGPD charging him for any offense. April 2019: ICE Allegations: At a bond hearing, ICE claims Kilmar is part of MS-13. They submit one piece of evidence: a “Gang Field Interview Sheet” (GFIS) filled out by the PGPD detective that claims Kilmar is part of MS-13. The GFIS says (1) he was wearing Chicago Bulls gear, and (2) a “confidential informant” allegedly claimed that Kilmar was a ranking member of the “Westerns” clique, which is in Long Island, a place he has never lived in.

Summer 2019: Investigation: Kilmar’s lawyers reach out to PGPD to investigate these claims. They find out that (1) the police did not even file an incident report about his arrest, and (2) the detective that filled out the GFIS has been suspended for an unknown reason. August 2019: IJ Decision: At his final bond hearing, ICE declines to offer any evidence of gang membership other than what’s in the GFIS. The IJ denies bond, finding that the GFIS is sufficient proof of membership at this time, despite noting its obvious flaws. Kilmar appeals this decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. October 2019: Withholding Win: The immigration judge rules that Kilmar is ineligible for asylum because he filed the application too late. But the judge does grant “withholding of removal,” finding that it was “more likely than not” that he would be subject to persecution if deported to El Salvador. A removal order is issued, but with a restriction that the one country he cannot be deported to is El Salvador.

December 2019: BIA Decision: Kilmar appeals the bond decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. The appeals board declines to find “clear error” in the immigration judge’s decision to rely on the GFIS document. However, he is released anyway because he had won withholding of removal. 2019-2025: Normal Life: Kilmar lives a normal life in Maryland with his U.S. citizen wife, their biological son, and his two stepchildren. With his work permit, he gets a job as a sheet metal worker, joins a union, and raises his family in a DC suburb. He doesn’t get into any trouble with the law. March 2025: Sent to CECOT: On March 12, 2025, ICE comes to Kilmar’s home and arrests him in front of his children. Three days later he’s transferred to Texas, where, thanks to an “administrative error,” he is put on a plane to El Salvador and sent to CECOT

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered.

As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

If there was a test case for the moral compass of this country, this is it. We failed. I’m just sick. Hope this is turned around.
