This video shows the fire damage inside the Pennsylvania Governor’s mansion.
Governor Shapiro’s reaction to the arson attack is on my timeline.

Just disgusting. All of them. Garcia is not a terrorist. Innocent people were put in that El Salvador prison. What a disgrace Trump is turning America into.
COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia?
BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous
TRUMP: These are sick people

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?
No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.
Fascism is here.

Actually, no “strong-arming,” was required at all, was it?. You didn’t wait for an executive order. You didn’t join with your fellow lawyers in fighting back. You didn’t stand on any principle. You embraced your ignominy. You pathetic Vichy flunkies.

Leavitt is straight up lying. She says “it’s not true” that just a tattoo & a clothing brand can get you sent to El Salvador.
But here is the document filed in court by Homeland Security. It clearly states that a tattoo (4pts) & dress (4pts) adds up to 8pts needed to be declared a TDA “terrorist”.

Hey journalism school students! And profs!
Here's fodder for essay-question analyses.
Both headlines from same paper, 11 months apart. Apr 2024 on left, March 2025 on right.
Inflation rate same both times (2.9%)
Any subtle difference you see?
(I no longer think this "matters" but still)

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

"Was it unreasonable to suspect Russia might exploit Giuliani’s desperation? To the contrary: If Russian intelligence ignored such an opportunity, it would have been professional negligence." The context of the Hunter Biden letter, and what it really said:
Trump Is Still Obsessed With the Hunter Biden Laptop Letter

Respectable Republican Condi Rice visits Kristi Noem.
Noem stages a sick photo-op in El Salvador with deportees as props. Some of them were law-abiding U.S. immigrants, now imprisoned in that hellhole.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

The devil's offer to give Jesus dominion over the nations for a bit of obeisance was the temptation to conquer the world. The lure of empire is the temptation to bow down to the devil.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
