NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

Hey, this guy is Doing Something and I would like to make it clear to the other Democrats that Doing Something is good!
Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.
I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

A student at UW-Madison had her visa revoked for a speeding ticket and a failure to stop citation. She paid the fine, had court dates for the failure to stop and the case was dropped.
Is that "do all kinds of crazy things," Secretary Rubio?

Rubio: "If you come to this country as a student, we expect you to go to class and study and get a degree. If you come here to vandalize a library, take over a campus, and do all kinds of crazy things, we're gonna get rid of these people. And we're gonna continue to do it."

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

“We're witnessing a broad assault on genuinely meritocratic achievement — one that could enable right-wing elites to corruptly loot the place, or install a highly ‘personalist’ government marked above all by loyalty to Trump himself, or some combination of the two.“
The awful news that Elon Musk clashed with a top Treasury official in an effort to access govt payment systems raises a crucial question: Did Trump authorize this, or not?
I talked to former officials who explain why this is a key question, and why it's so alarming:

Trump and Elon Musk Just Pulled Off Another Purge—and It’s a Scary One
Did Musk’s alleged effort to access the government’s payment systems have Trump’s blessing? Or was he going rogue? Either scenario is bad, but one’s a little worse.
