Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens.

Call it what it is — fascism.

History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

And let’s talk about the children, about 1600 I believe, who were infants or toddlers separated from parents at the border first time around, who are now around 6 years old and never reunited because no system or records were kept.

What in the biometric hell is this?

Just went to drop metal recycling like I’ve been doing for a year and they said they are now required to “set up an account,” take my picture and get a thumbprint??

WTF

Episode 40 - Two Truths, Two Sets of Data Catch up on the themes from Week 40's list in a quick listen!

The striking thing about this week’s list is not the number of broken norms, but the nature of what Trump is getting away with, and how he has yet again seized control of the narrative.

Not in North Texas

Yeah, at 60, don’t know if I’ll survive to see it

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Marco Rubio admitted the Admin ignored intelligence while dragging us into the conflict in Iran

Yesterday Secretary Rubio admitted the administration ignored its own intelligence reports while illegally dragging us into the conflict in Iran. He literally said "forget about intelligence."

That's the type of "leadership" that started the Iraq War.

The United States should not wage war against Iran.

Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.

This is a horrific war of choice.

🚨🚨BREAKING

TRUMP SAYS THE UNITED STATES IS NOW INVOLVED IN ISRAEL-IRAN WAR.

"We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran...Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA."

Trump authorizes US military to take control of land at US-Mexico border Order allows armed forces to take ‘direct role’ in securing southern border, which Trump memo says ‘is under attack’

I’m not seeing much discussion about this.

We are at martial law stage

Trump wants to deport some US citizens to El Salvador U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he wants to deport some violent criminals who are U.S. citizens to El Salvador, where they would be incarcerated under an agreement with that country's government.

Terrifying. We are over the edge

Five calls is showing on 50K calls re the Venezuelan deportations

I sincerely hope more people than that are calling.

They will be sending US citizens next

Trump fires a top US military official to NATO Conservative media has targeted Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield for comments she made about diversity.

They fired Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield—not because she couldn’t do the job, but because she wouldn’t hang up pictures of Trump and Hegseth. This ain’t about merit—it’s about ego.

Trump officials quietly move to reverse bans on toxic ‘forever chemicals’ EPA bids to change chemical risk evaluations, which could expose public to higher levels of PFAS and other pollutants

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer. 

So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

Congress or the Court needs to ask for proof of life by date and time certain

Then, by date and time certain that diplomatic calls be made

Actually, the Supreme Court only punted.
They remanded to the District Court to clarify what facilitate means. Meaning, it could mean nothing.
