Homeland Security @DHSgov FALSE. Ricardo Jesus Prada Vasquez is a Venezuelan national and confirmed member of Tren de Aragua, entered the United States on Nov. 29, 2024 at the Brownsville, Texas Port of Entry via a CBP One app appointment. Prada was paroled into the US and served with a notice to appear before an immigration judge. On Jan. 15, Prada was encountered at the Detroit Windsor Tunnel in Detroit, Michigan attempting to enter the U.S. from Canada and was referred to secondary inspection. Further investigation resulted in Prada being designated a public safety threat as a confirmed member of TdA and in violation of his conditions of admission. Prada was apprehended and transferred to ICE Michigan for detention. On Feb. 27, an immigration judge ordered Prada removed from the U.S. On March 15, Prada was removed to El Salvador.

NEW: DHS has admitted for the first time that it sent Mr. Prado to El Salvador, in a statement which accuses him of being a gang member.

The man never once got a trial on this issue. No judge ever found him to be a public safety threat or a member of a gang. No due process. No nothing.

USAID staff have two days to clean out their offices at the agency’s former headquarters in DC.

People are gathering on the sidewalk in the rain to show their support, applauding workers as they pass by.

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas.

You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

I spoke with @marcelias.bsky.social about exactly why Kash Patel is one of, if not *the* most dangerous Cabinet picks. Watch below:

Have I had my mind changed on social media? Yes - NOT by arguing with randoms, but by following experts and first hand folks who share what they do, what they think and what's going on. The change isn't binary - I used to think one thing, and suddenly now another - it's slow and additive: Learning.

Isn’t it funny how the U.S. media is suddenly posting stories about the improving inflation picture now that the election is over? 🧐

In 55 days, this building will become the epicenter of corruption on our planet.

That should make everything cheaper.

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system.

He had help.

It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms.

Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court.

70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon.

There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.

Merrick Garland operated with fear and favor.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Donald Trump’s transition team is planning for all cabinet picks to receive sweeping security clearances from the president-elect and only face FBI background checks after the incoming administration takes over the bureau and its own officials are installed in key positions, according to people familiar with the matter. The move appears to mean that Trump’s team will continue to skirt FBI vetting and may not receive classified briefings until Trump is sworn in on 20 January and unilaterally grant sweeping security clearances across the administration. Trump’s team has regarded the FBI background check process with contempt for months, a product of their deep distrust of the bureau ever since officials turned over transition records to the Russia investigation during the first Trump presidency, the people said. But delaying FBI vetting could also bring ancillary PR benefits for the Trump team if some political appointees run into problems during a background check, which could upend their Senate confirmation process, or if they struggle to obtain security clearances once in the White House.

“The FBI should do the background checks, in my judgement,” said Sen. Susan Collins (Maine), who serves as the ranking Republican on the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense and as a senior member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, argued that the FBI has access to information gathered by law enforcement on the federal, state and local levels that private firms don’t. “If you wanted to supplement it with a private firm, I’d say OK. But the FBI does have access to information that probably a private firm wouldn’t have, even a really good savvy one,” he said. Cramer said a private firm could help the FBI in its background investigations, but he “sure wouldn’t leave it” entirely outside the FBI’s hands. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) argued “it’s just been routine” for the nation’s top law enforcement agency to handle background checks for high-level appointments.

Guardian is reporting that Trump wants to delay FBI background checks until he has taken over the FBI.

But four to five GOP Senators (Collins, Cramer, Murkowski, Rounds, and Ernst) have suggested they want FBI background checks.

The same Republicans who have made an absolute spectacle over which bathroom a transgender Congresswoman could use, completely ignored how the traitorous ex-president used one of his.

The money required to provide adequate food, water, education, health and housing for everyone in the world has been estimated at $34 billion a year. It is a huge sum of money. About as much as the world spends on arms every 4 weeks.

Welcome! 😃

I’m workin my tuchus off following folks back. If I don’t get to you quickly, it’s not personal, I promise. Plus, you don’t have to follow me to be able to comment like you did in the bad place! Thanks for your patience 🫶💙🙏

Trump Can't Disavow Project 2025 As the conservative policy created by the Heritage Foundation becomes more unpopular, Trump tries to distance himself from a plan that was drafted by his key advisors that is tailor made for Trump.

Trump has nominated Russell Voight, the lead architect in Project 2025, to lead the Office of Management and Budget. open.substack.com/pub/shero/p/...

Trump’s Labor pick, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, has a 10% AFL-CIO rating, flunking Worker Advocacy 101. She voted against unemployment protections. This isn’t a champion for workers; it’s another move to stack the deck against working-class Americans.

Tweet: The Republicans were obsessed with Obama releasing his birth certificate, and VP Harris releasing her McDonald’s pay stubs. BUT THEY don’t want to release the report investigating THEIR Attorney General nominee for allegedly hooking up with a child? Interesting how that works!

I see how that works, yes. Do you?

So true. 💯

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

YouTube video by MSNBC RFK Jr., anti-vaxxers, and a measles outbreak: Mehdi’s deep dive

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

Linda and Vince McMahon are being sued by five people who served as “ring boys" who allege that they were being sexually abused by WWE wrestlers Pat Patterson and Terry Garvin and that both Linda and Vince knew exactly what was happening to them but didn't do anything to stop it.

Yikes.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs.

So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.
