Remember when you were a kid, playing games with friendsβ€”there was always that one kid who tried to change the rules mid-game just to win… but still lost, and everyone knew they were cheating?

That’s DOGE.

We were mid recording of this week’s episode of @strictscrutiny.bsky.social when this Wilkinson opinion dropped - you really hear him talking to not only the executive branch, but also his fellow conservatives on SCOTUS

Real Christians don't celebrate other human people getting deported. @adamkinzinger.bsky.social said the truth.

NEW from PP:

The Trump admin is blowing off Congress's Qs about ICE wrongly detaining Americans.

More than a dozen lawmakers demanded answers.

The admin has offered silence.

β€œThat’s not usual." said @normornstein.bsky.social. "Nothing about this is usual."

Trump wants to deport American citizens to prisons in El Salvador. That’s unconstitutional, un-American, and terrifying. We cannot normalize this. Speak out and organize like our democracy depends on itβ€”because it does.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The Resistance Will Not Be Televised If you relied on articles and broadcasts from the legacy national news media during early 2025, you wouldn’t know the extent of grassroots action.

They’re like that lately…

The #SAVEAct threatens our right to vote. By requiring in-person proof of citizenship (passports/birth certificates) it puts unnecessary barriers on voting. For the 69 million women who changed their name after marriage, their birth certificate won't match their legal name. Tell Congress to vote NO!

It's grounds for termination. And for further investigation and response. You all can't just scold and hope that does it.

Trump Administration Abruptly Cuts Billions From State Health Services States were told Monday that they could no longer use grants that were funding infectious disease management and addiction services.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

🚨This might be Story of the Year.

It should be shared everywhere.

β€œI had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family & even politicians advocating for me. Yet, I was still detained for nearly 2 weeks. Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there.”

"In this case, Republican leaders did so using a particularly unusual contortion: They essentially declared the rest of the year one long day, nullifying a law that allows the House and Senate to jointly put an end to a disaster declared by the president."

Indeed, a White House official told The Free Press that the basis for targeting Khalil is being used as a blueprint for investigations against other students.

Khalil is a "threat to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States," said the official, noting that this calculation was the driving force behind the arrest. "The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law," said the official.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.

The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.

No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Trump wants to see more than just a minerals deal to restart aid and intel to Ukraine U.S. and Ukrainian officials are set to meet in Saudi Arabia this week, with Trump focused on Zelenskyy’s willingness to make concessions in negotiations.

NEW: Trump may not restore military aid & intelligence support even if Ukraine signs minerals deal.

A mobster with an insatiable appetite for extortion.

He is killing Ukrainians like a terrorist kills hostages, until his ever growing demands are met.

An unforgivable low point for the US.
