Agree. It’s despicable and demonstrates just how much this administration is willing to do to get what it wants. We the People aren’t even a consideration in their decision making process
If you missed this yesterday, it’s just as jaw-dropping a read today. The quotes are really something.
This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.
They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

The Supreme Court is demonstrating it is not up to the task of being part of the check and balances system created by our founders. The court, led by #johnroberts is implicit in sending the country down the road of fascism. My idealistic views of this country are no longer
The Supreme Court has once again declined to stop Trump from bending the rule of law to its breaking point. Congress created independent agencies like the FTC to insulate them from political influence—including the firing of commissioners who don’t do as the president demands.
