These executive orders are all illegal. Yet they are being treated by the federal government practically as a higher form of law than that which is passed by the legislature. And therein lies the fundamental problem of Trump 2. This, almost more than anything else, must be stopped.

As the truth about Abrego Garcia comes out, the Trump administration has begun a propaganda campaign against him and the news media, saying mainstream media is defending an MS-13 gang member.

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case.

As the Trump regime urges "drill baby drill" and romanticizes coal mining, emissions keep going up and carbon sinks are showing signs of severe stress.
Remember ... just because you're not interested in the climate crisis does not mean the climate crisis isn't very much interested in you.

The proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere grew at a record 3.75 ppm last year -- a jump 27% bigger than the previous record increase.
The best explanation: forests and soils are so stressed by climate change they're losing the ability to absorb our emissions.

Is the planet losing one of its best ways to slow climate change?
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose last year at the fastest rate on record. The spike has scientists worried that more and more carbon is coming from natural sources.

"...his attempts to raise concerns internally within the NLRB preceded someone 'physically taping a threatening note' to his door that included sensitive personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog that appeared to be taken with a drone..."
It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.
