Trump:

"We found absolute... irrefutable proof that Obama was seditious. Obama was trying to lead a coup. And it was with Hillary Clinton."

Trump: "After what they did to me... It's time to go after people. Obama has been caught directly."

Reporter: Who should the Justice Dept. target?

Trump: "President Obama. He started it. And Biden was there with him."

Another sure sign that the fix is in.

Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus on X:

"We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case."

And says they're already in discussions with the administration.

“A horrible display of waste… rotting fruits and vegetables… store after store closed… if the ice raids continue be ready for even bigger sticker shock when you go grocery shopping…” 🍎 🥕

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. 

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing.

it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary.

Grow some balls

He’s such an idiot.

Lawmakers demand answers after a Haitian woman dies at an ICE detention center ICE says it is investigating the cause of death of 44-year-old Marie Ange Blaise in a Florida detention center on Friday. A local congresswoman says Blaise had complained of chest pains "for hours."

So this is incredibly distressing.

The image is a poster with a bold message painted in large, green, brushstroke-style letters on a dark background. It reads: “FIGHT POVERTY NOT THE POOR” The style is raw and expressive, conveying urgency and social activism. At the bottom, it includes the text “Poor People’s Campaign | poorpeoplescampaign.org” and credits the design to Jesse Purcell, 2017.

History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

~ All of Us

THANK YOU. THANK GOD HE IS ALIVE.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.

Dark stuff. The lack of evidence against the Salvadoran deported in "error" is appalling. And the implication of Trump's position really is that anyone removed in "error" might not have recourse.

See this exchange w/ @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social in four screen caps:

An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

Trump administration acknowledges it wrongfully deported a man to El Salvador terror prison but argues to the judge that he lacks the ability to order the man’s return www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is godawful.

I'd like to know what the two-year-olds he has in mind look like.

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang.

One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.

What. Is. This. Garbage.

A screenshot from a court filing reads, in part: "Julio Noriega is 54 years old, was born in Chicago, and is a U.S. citizen. On January 31, 2025, he was walking near the corner of Cermak Road and Harlem Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses. As he walked out of a Jiffy Lube, he was approached by ICE officers who grabbed and handcuffed him and put him into a van, without an opportunity to explain his citizenship. The officers drove Julio and others around for more than an hour before bringing him to an ICE processing center, where he remained, still handcuffed, for several more hours. All the while, Julio had a wallet containing identification that ICE had confiscated. The officers never showed Julio a warrant, and they did not ask him any questions to ascertain whether he was a noncitizen or a flight risk. After about 10 hours, ICE officers reviewed the contents of Julio’s wallet, realized he was a U.S. citizen, and released him with no money and no paperwork."

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Primary every single one of them.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.
