The Columbia deportation case is bad enough on its own β€” but the precedent is worse. People can be deported without breaking a law because of a vague reference to foreign policy.

To President Zelenskyy, From an Embarrassed American Dear President Zelenskyy,

President Zelenskyy,

The vast majority of Americans are fully sickened to our core by the violence visited upon you every day, with help from our President and his party.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife.

Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped.

We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

RFK Jr.: It Would Be Better if β€˜Everybody Got Measles’ β€œThe measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Sean Hannity on Fox News.

Hope Rs who voted for him are pleased with themselves. And remember when I said MAGA Rs back policies that kill kids? MAGA freaked out. I was sadly right. www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-jr-it-wo...

FBI investigating Trump EPA claims of fraud in $20B Biden grant fund While career prosecutors in two U.S. attorney offices and a U.S. judge balked at a court-ordered freeze, Citibank has locked down billions without explanation.

First of many, but here we have a completely manufactured criminal investigation. One career prosecutor already resigned over it. Goal is simply to claw back $20 billion in Biden era climate money. Open and shut corruption. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

There Will Be Retribution From Marc | Donald Trump will insist on using the powers of the state to attack his political opponents.

In light of the news that Dan Bongino will be the Kash Patel's Deputy FBI Director, I am reposting what I wrote a few weeks ago.

Utterly batshit and you could take away that 1) there’s no regard for democracy small d or any democrat big D 2) afraid of women speaking out is the case as much as what she said 3) bullies are not strong they are weak (the rep and the security firm)

Every time I think thing can’t get worse, the appointees can’t get worse, Trump says β€˜hold my beer.’

I am stunned, even by Trump standards, that Dan Bongino, a man even Fox got rid of, is now the new deputy director of the FBI.

We are so effed.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them.

Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Several administration officials tell workers not to reply to Musk email Leaders at defense and intelligence offices were particularly wary of Musk’s demand over the weekend asking workers to outline what they did last week.

Musk’s move fast and break things mentality is putting our government in chaos. This is no way to run a country.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The word "socialism" has been thrown around as a catch-all label of evil for well over a century. It's just as foolish now as it was in Roosevelt's time.
