Yes, I’m sure all those top buyers of his meme coin are there because he’s just a great person, not the President.

This is the first time I’ve won a battle of wills with Onion. He spent two weeks pretending he couldn’t figure out this puzzle feeder. I had to take out one of the inserts so more would fall out and tempt him. Now he has NO EXCUSE. YOU’RE ALL WITNESSES.

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.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!
Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

But, Caroline, you're working overtime to make the American consumer as poor as a Chinese peasant.
Karoline Leavitt, "China needs to make a deal with us, we don't have to make a deal with them"
"China wants what we have, what every country wants, what we have, the American consumer"
"Or to put it another way they need our money"

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower
There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Asia’s cleanest river, the Umngot (Dawki), flows through Meghalaya. Its crystal-clear waters make boats look like they're floating in the air! A remarkable example of the Khasi and Jaintia tribes’ deep respect for nature and strong environmental awareness.
