At least 14 people who’ve written books critical of Donald Trump have been threatened, investigated, or prosecuted by him.

This is just a coincidence, right?

Surely it has nothing to do with our criticisms.

Thank you, @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com
The people who are dying as a result of Trump and Musk's cruelty should not be voiceless. All who speak up for them are doing humanity's basic work - seeing even humans who are not directly connected to them.

There are so many outrages in this 7-byline ticktock of the Trump deportations to El Salvador that you can’t just pull out one or two.

This piece has it all: Subterfuge, deceit, incompetence and obvious flouting of judicial orders.
