Trump voters: For the sake of argument, let's assume that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was or is a member of MS-13 (which is BS, but bear with me).
Explain to me how that means he should be deprived of the right to due process guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States of America. Show your work.

Trump voters, look at Trump yukking it up with Bukele yesterday in the Oval Office over how "homegrowns [i.e., U.S. citizens]" will be the next to be sent to El Salvador's gulag without due process and then tell me again how Joe Biden was wrong about Trump being "a danger to democracy."

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

If projection is the sincerest form of Trumpism, cowardice is its most stalwart enabler.
Which wealthy people will Trump threatened today so he can shake them down and reveal their cowardice as they desperately and greedily cling to their piece of the pie while sacrificing their principles, choosing surrender over a difficult fight? None of it will ever be forgotten.

Latest polls:
Zelenskyy's approval rating is above 70%; Trump's is underwater.
2/3 of Americans think the US is giving the right amount of (28%) or too little (37%) aid to Ukraine; only 1/3 thinking we're sending too much.
Real Americans stand with Ukraine. Fuck Donald Trump. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

Read the room, Tom. Read the fucking room.
Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi defends voting to censure Rep. Al Green:
"Instead of talking about Social Security cuts, and talking about Medicaid cuts, and talking about Medicare cuts...we instead focused too much time on disruptive behavior. That was a strategic mistake."

Dear Sen. Warner: Donald Trump doesn't respect the office of the president; why should you?
Mark Warner on Fox: "I may disagree with the president, but I respect the office of the president. I'm probably not gonna be jumping up applauding a lot, but I owe him his due as president. The president has made great, great progress on border crossings. That's something we ought to celebrate."

With Trump as president and Tulsi Gabbard as DNI, no civilized country should trust US intelligence agencies in any case. Just assume that they're compromised by Russia.
The CIA chief is reporting that the United States has paused intelligence support to Ukraine –
We share the same future.
Our allies are not going to be sharing intelligence with us. Aligned with Russia, with compromised FBI and CIA heads, we can no longer be trusted.

Having out of town guests over. We were going to make them a meal, as has been the custom in virtually every culture in human history, but I think instead we'll berate them, criticize their clothing choices, and demand they thank us for everything.

Someday "Trump" will be a name that people spit out in disgust when they're confronted with a contemptible act of betrayal. Like Judas, Quisling, and Benedict Arnold.

sadly, this is almost certainly correct
Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Dear @nytimes.com: if today's GOP were in any other country, your reporters would (accurately) call them "far-right" or "extreme right." How about a little truth-telling?
