Sen. Amy Klobuchar is right: Trump officials must be held in contempt for defying court orders to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. She’s calling for a special prosecutor, outside Trump’s corrupt DOJ, to charge those responsible.

No more stalling.
No more impunity.
No one is above the law.

I agree with the this

To be honest
WE NEED BOLD STRONG LEADERSHIP NOW
Can't wait for the midterms
Can't play the same old playbook
I want leadership that stops performing leadership but actually starts living it
Mean no disrespect Senator
But enough

A MORAL CRISIS

β€œThe rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.

If you claim to love this countryβ€”if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justiceβ€”this must be your line in the sand.”

Take 3 minutes. This is important.

"We gotta make sure that people cannot be picked up and disappeared like his buddy Putin does, like his buddy Xi does, like his buddy Kim Jong Un does. They do this. They disappear people and many times murder them." - Claire McCaskill

β€œMaybe Americans will like Trump less if we make him seem normal and express our opposition in understated language focused around economic policy” says the world’s most pathetic political party for the 17th consecutive time

Musk’s status as a β€œspecial government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working dailyβ€”documented by his own X postsβ€”they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congressβ€”please share.

Yesterday I read somewhere that the felon is just a mascot they trot out to perform for a few minutes to jazz up the crowd.

I can't stop thinking about that.

Trump plans to withdraw troops from the Baltics and parts of Western Europe - a key Putin demand - making former Soviet nations a prime target for Russian attacks, the FT reports.

Elon Musk posted these two tweets the same day, just hours apart. Don’t sugarcoat it β€” he’s not just a far-right authoritarian, he’s an outright fascist.

Musk isn’t even trying to hide his true intentions at this point. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM.

French President Emmanuel Macron has invited European leaders to an emergency summit in Paris on Monday. The meeting aims to address challenges arising from recent discussions between Trump and Putin, and reflects the need for Europe to respond collectively to these developments. οΏΌ

This means nothing. Useless. Empty words, zero action. Boycott his events. Refuse to cover his photo ops and propaganda signings. He’s addicted to coverage and hates being ignored. Until you band together and do something, these statements are utterly pointless & pathetic.

❗️Last night, a Russian high-explosive combat drone hit the shelter over the nuclear reactor at Chornobyl Nuclear power plant - President Zelenskyy.

Radiation monitoring comes back as normal so far - Ukrainian Emergency services.

Russia is a danger to humanity.

My senator seems like the only member of his chamber who is expressing the alarm and outrage that this moment requires (and doing a great job on Insta, also). Where is everyone else???

Their democracy died. They have lessons for America about Trump’s power grab. Hungarians who lived through Viktor OrbΓ‘n’s 2010 power grab warn Americans: Act now, before it’s too late.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**
