Friendly reminder that these spineless Republicans could get rid of these dumb tariffs at any time, but they won’t because they’re too afraid of Trump. They care about HIM more than YOU!

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech.

The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

According to people near the negotiations, Trump and his supporters care as much or more about public rituals of self-abasement— as in the ABC and law firm settlements — as they do about the substantive details of the original disputes. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

These Russian propagandists are such delusional morons. Even their fantasy world sucks endlessly.

"Either to remain an occupied, rights-defeated, politically non-subjective Germany,or to become an economic partner, maybe even an ally of Russia, once again divide not Poland, but the whole Europe. Because the rest of Europe simply has no other future"

To recap: Trump admin is firing Social Security employees; requiring beneficiaries to visit field offices in person instead of calling; and then saying any beneficiaries whose checks don’t come, and who therefore can’t pay the rent, must be fraudsters.
Insane. And not what Americans voted for.
Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.
