Kinda gotta hand it to MAGA. They aren't about to let statistics, real-world evidence, forensic evidence, eyewitness testimony, police reports, sworn affidavits, economic data, basic scientific laws, or reality get in the way of whatever ridiculous bullshit they want to believe.

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.
🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

Trump has demanded that the International Criminal Court amend its founding document to ensure it doesn't investigate him and his top officials, threatening new U.S. sanctions on the court if it does not.
Cause nothing says ‘I’m innocent’ like threatening a court if it tries to look at you.

I’ll never forget hearing Donald Trump’s racist “shithole countries” comment in a 2018 Oval Office meeting about immigration.
Tom Cotton and David Perdue claimed Trump didn’t say it and accused me of lying.
The truth comes out.

TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”
Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

Once right-wing oligarchs gain control of just about every national and local media company, social media platform, and big AI, as they are systematically doing with little notice from the general public, it will be game, set and match for the Republic.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

Trump's DOT just forgave $11M in fines against Southwest Airlines for its 2022 holiday meltdown.
This follows the agency scrapping a Biden-era rule requiring airlines to compensate and rebook passengers for lengthy delays or cancellations.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.
