Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

Meanwhile, DOJ lawyers are threatening medical journals for not providing adequate "viewpoint diversity" and for misinforming their readership, which I suppose means not publishing enough of the stupid shit that RFK Jr., JB, etc. keep saying.
This is an outrageous First Amendment violation.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

NEW: The entire NIH payment system is currently frozen for all grantees. This is tied to DOGE’s new “Defend the Spend” caper, reported in today’s Post, which has already led to payment cutoffs to doctors and health workers at hospitals treating the poor.

I am old enough to remember when a movie character said "PAPERS PLEASE" it was a universally understood signifier of an evil regime
A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.

This should lead to criminal charges against Leland Dudek and the people at DOGE who did this. I’m deadly serious about it. They committed fraud by deliberately marking people dead who were alive.
Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

I know folks hate seeing content from the other site, but the escalation implied in this tweet exchange is so severe that it needs to be acknowledged. Take the advice of so many other great folks dedicated to antifascist work with a wealth of experience of historical knowledge; you need to prepare.

Trump is afraid of nukes, being poisoned, and sharks. I like to think of that sometimes. He eats fast food so often he believes it protects him from poisoning. That's a lot of fear.
