If they can illegally send anyone to an El Salvador prison illegally and not bring them back, they can illegally send you to an El Salvador prison and not bring you back.

How can anyone defend this?

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices.

This a fire sale for the oligarchy.

How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

When Rep. Victoria Spartz says “if you break the law you don’t deserve due process,” she’s either dangerously ignorant of the Constitution or deliberately misleading people. Due process isn’t about protecting criminals. It’s about protecting everyone from abuse of power.

The thing I admire most about Jeffery Goldberg right now is that he didn't sit on his incendiary scoop, waiting to reveal it only when he could make money from it in a book, like so many other selfish people who know shocking things about this administration have done and will continue to do.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

2025 is not yet 3 months old & already there have been 378 confirmed cases, #CDC reported today. This year's total is the 4th largest of any year since measles was declared eliminated, meaning no longer endemic, in the US in 2000. 2025 will likely be #3 by next week. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill.

NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.

NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.

We need to push back.
