Four House Democrats, Reps. Robert Garcia (Calif.), Maxwell Frost (Fla.), Maxine Dexter (Ore.), and Yassamin Ansari (Ariz.), are traveling to El Salvador to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was “mistakenly” deported to the country by the Trump administration.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13.

I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

He was compassionate and humble. He cared deeply about immigrants, families suffering in war zones, the poor, those of other faiths and the LGBTQ+ community. He did not condemn or judge but urged us to love and care for each other.
He was the best Pope of my life time.
Thank you Pope Francis .

Today’s “One First” takes a (very) deep dive into Justice Alito’s Saturday night dissent in the A.A.R.P. Alien Enemy Act case—and how it attempts to invent a series of procedural objections to the majority’s intervention that … simply don’t exist:

145. Justice Alito's Misbegotten Dissent in A.A.R.P.
Justice Alito's after-the-fact opinion dissenting from the Court's early-Saturday-morning Alien Enemy Act ruling rests on a revealing array of misrepresentations, misstatements, and non-sequiturs.

And while we are on the subject, how come no one is harping on lack of viewpoint diversity among faculty at Liberty University? Because it only works one way, and that’s pretty obvious. Hang in there, Harvard!

“Trump has no idea whatsoever what Musk is actually doing even though he also signed the executive order giving DOGE ‘full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems.’ … This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.”

To quote Rick Wilson: Every thing Trump touches dies.
And the death is slow, agonizing, humiliating, excruciating, debasing, and if you’ve bent the knee well deserved.

I was just cc-ed on an email where a Nobel prize winner and green card holder who's spent a lot of time in the US says he cannot risk coming back at this point for a visit. And I cannot blame him for this decision. We are witnessing absolute mad king behavior.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.

Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

Trump insiders made billions this week off destroying the US financial system. And yes, torching global trust in us treasures does just that
I’m leading a letter with Rep. Terri Sewell and 131 colleagues demanding answers from the White House, USTR, Treasury, Commerce, and the SEC.
Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know?

Apart from all the other nuttery, Trump is too stupid to realize that we run trade deficits in large part because we have a financial (capital account) SURPLUS, with money flowing into the US, not out. For better or worse, they are financing our ability consume more than we produce.
