I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

A tweet by Max Burns (@themaxburns

A senior Trump administration official tells Rolling Stone how deeply unfunny Elon Musk is.

"He’s not funny. Like, at all. He makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you don’t lap up his humor."

Trump Tariffs Hit Antarctic Islands Inhabited by Zero Humans and Many Penguins The Heard and McDonald Islands are among the dozens of targets of President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs. But they have no exports, because no one lives there.

NEW: Donald Trump announced the US was imposing reciprocal tariffs on a small collection of Antarctic islands that are not inhabited by humans, as part of a global trade war aimed at asserting US dominance.

The Heard and McDonald Islands are known for their populations of penguins.

Small Wisconsin libraries might be hit hard as Trump targets federal funding Federal funding for Wisconsin library systems might be at risk after President Donald Trump ordered the elimination of an agency that provides financial support to libraries nationwide.

10 million potential new HIV infections by 2030; 3 million potential more deaths, including 120,000 children, due to HIV-related causes by 2030. This could be the impact of HIV funding cuts.

10 million potential new HIV infections by 2030; 3 million potential more deaths, including 120,000 children, due to HIV-related causes by 2030. This could be the impact of HIV funding cuts.

A decline in funding for the HIV response could result in millions of preventable new infections and deaths, with up to 120,000 of these deaths affecting children.

International cooperation is essential to sustain the advances we’ve made in HIV prevention, testing, and treatment.

They're breaking everything so they can say it is broken and eliminate it or privatize it. Any guesses where all the social security taxes collected will go? Inspiring leadership.

Seniors won't complain if they miss a Social Security check, Lutnick says More than 70 million Americans get a Social Security benefit every month, and for many, those checks are their only income.

A billionaire thinks people won’t care if they don’t get the benefits they have rightfully earned??

Try telling that to the millions of hardworking Americans and Wisconsinites who paid into Social Security through a lifetime of hard work.
