Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

I understand what Judge Xinis is doing. She is building a factual record so that that record will be crystal clear when this case gets back to the Supreme Court.

But I also know it is taking too long. Two weeks is too long.

Keep in mind Bukele will just kill Garcia at the last moment if he has to.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Trump is now talking about shipping U.S. citizens to prisons in El Salvador.
Let me say that again: U.S. citizens. To foreign prisons.

This is not just unconstitutional—it’s unhinged.
Trump says he wants to imprison US citizens in El Salvador. That's likely illegal
President Donald Trump keeps talking about sending U.S. citizens who commit violent crimes to prison in El Salvador. But that's likely illegal.

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who:
–has green card
–was Columbia Buddhist club president
–saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier
–said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Trump’s State Department found no evidence linking Rumeysa Ozturk to antisemitic activity or terrorism, but ICE snatched her off the street and dispatched her to a prison 1,000 miles away with no hearing. This is a hallmark of fascist regimes and utterly incompatible with Due Process.
No evidence linking Tufts student to antisemitism or terrorism, State Dept. office found
An internal memo, prepared before Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE, raises doubts about the Trump administration’s claims that she supports Hamas.

AOC: The crumbling of our rights and protections. Understand that all of this is what it means and what it feels like to be governed by billionaires. This is what oligarchy feels like.. it is this system that has brought us the most corrupt administration in American history..

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail.

Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

This reckless “plan” would:
— Rip food off the tables of 115,000 TX-30 residents on SNAP
— Take free lunch from 97,497 kids in our schools

They love calling it a budget.

But let’s call it what it really is: an attack on working families.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.

All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.
