She is so bad at her job.

The image is a screenshot of an X post from The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln ). The post features a manipulated photo of two individuals inside a red car. The person on the left, wearing sunglasses and a black outfit, is depicted as driving and smiling, while the person on the right, dressed in a suit with a red tie, appears to be a passenger. Superimposed text over the image reads, "Get in, we're gonna crash the economy."

And straight into a tariff wall at that.

Dear Secretary Noem, On behalf of our communities, we urge you to immediately release Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia graduate student and lawful permanent U.S. resident, and return him to his home and family in New York City. On the night of Saturday, March 8, Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and taken from his Columbia University apartment by DHS agents to an undisclosed location. In a statement on X, the Department of Homeland Security announced that the administration would be detaining Khalil, a green card holder, in connection to his alleged participation in pro-Palestinian protests. Khalil has been denied his Constitutional right to due process, and is being held without legal justification or evidence that he has violated any laws.

The treatment of Mahmoud Khalil by the Department of Homeland Security is not only inhumane, it is a blatant violation of his legal rights. He has been separated illegally from his pregnant wife, who is a United States citizen, and detained without due process thousands of miles from home. We see these actions by the Trump administration for what they are—a flagrantly unconstitutional attempt to suppress free speech and incite fear. The administration's pattern of targeting the rights of students and immigrants to speak against injustice undermines democracy and makes everyone less safe. We're writing to urge his immediate release back to his family in New York City. We also call on the administration to remove ICE and DHS from our campuses. Finally, we urge Columbia University to cease any and all cooperation with immigration officials who violate our sanctuary city protections and put their students at risk.

The Trump Administration’s treatment of Mahmoud Khalil is inhumane and unconstitutional.

Today, I was proud to join NYS Assemblymember Valdez, NYC Council Member Avilés, and 27 city, state, and federal officials to call for his immediate release.

Republicans have handed Democrats an embarrassingly bad deal, and those who are considering voting for this bill are accepting a truth to expand the unelected powers of Elon Musk and his allies. Let me be clear: American democracy is worth a government shutdown.

DJT’s executive order violates the Constitution. Contact your Governor, Senators, and Representatives and demand they denounce this illegal action.

Hypocrisy knows no bounds if you’re a member of the GOP! Women hating women in the military and ignoring multiple sexual assault claims against Pete Hegseth. The Orange koolaid must taste very sweet to these Senators who have given up their morals.

If you STILL cannot bring yourself to admit the obvious fact that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, how can we trust you to refuse illegal orders from Donald Trump when you become attorney general?

Very concerning.

The petulant 4-year old in a 78 year old body that sadly will become President next week is STILL name calling his political rivals. He has no decency or respect for the office & diminishes America’s standing in the world by his behavior. He needs to be shunned & called out for his lunacy.

Love this spoof account of the dumpster fire DJT has nominated to be Secretary of Defense. Not far from reality! God help us all…

Nice to find you on Bluesky Lucy! - Brian

My God imagine if media had told anyone about this

GOP hypocrisy is nothing new...

LOVE Jasmin Crockett!

Please read Harry Litman's important piece about why he is leaving the LA Times editorial page after 15 years. Newspaper owing Billionaire Oligarchs like Bezos (WaPo) and Dr. Soon-Shiong (LA Times) should NOT dictate what you can read.

Union workers that voted for Trump quickly learning that he is not on their side. Buyers remorse will be felt by many millions more in 2025...

Just How Bad Are Donald Trump's Cabinet Picks? One of Trump's picks has already dropped out...which will be next to fall?

The left has, of course, for years been largely correct in all our worst fears about Trump, though it is cold comfort when he is allowed to take a wrecking ball to norms and institutions with impunity.

WA’s Jan. 6 defendants celebrate Trump, hope for a pardon The President-elect said during the campaign that he might pardon the hundreds of his supporters who have been prosecuted for storming the U.S. Capitol.

Trump’s repeated promises to pardon convicted Jan. 6 rioters sends a dangerous message: Violence against democracy has no consequences. FULL STOP.

The only “MANDATE” Trump has is Elon Musk.

Mexico ain't playing Trumps game.
