If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury.

This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Trump is talking about shuttering publications and networks he disagrees with. He's talking about deporting and imprisoning Americans who dissent. This is unprecedented and undemocratic.

Wake up America.

Goodbye US free trade deal, and good riddance

Nigel Farage & Lee Anderson may not mind chlorinated chicken, but the vast, vast majority of Brits think US food standards are bloody disgusting

Bloomberg now reporting as I did last month that the UK government is ready to sign up for dynamic alignment on food and drink regulations.

Though detailed negotiations will be rather challenging. And EU doesn't yet have a mandate.

What’s really going on with the economy?

I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies — the American oligarchy — have a plan.

They want a recession. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-trump-...
Why we’ll have a recession
Trump wants to get it over early in his term, so he and his fellow billionaires can buy up everything cheap and then enjoy the ride upward

Republicans in Congress can join Democrats right now to turn off the bogus emergency Trump has declared to impose worldwide tariffs.

Or they can continue to bend the knee to Trump.

The economy is in free fall.

The markets are collapsing.

Our soldiers are dying.

Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail.

Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons.

And Trump is fucking golfing.
