Senator Weiner Section 508 Accessibility Bytes No. 5: Alternative Text: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USG...

#Alt-Text Version:
The Trump administration on Sunday evening doubled down on its assertion that a federal judge cannot force it to bring back to the United States a Maryland man who was unlawfully deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador last month. In a brief legal filing, the Justice Department reiterated its view that courts lack the ability to dictate steps that the White House should take in seeking to return the man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, to U.S. soil, because the president alone has broad powers to handle foreign policy. "The federal courts have no authority to direct the executive branch to conduct foreign relations in a particular way, or engage with a foreign sovereign in a given manner," lawyers for the department wrote. "That is the 'exclusive power of the president as the sole organ of the federal government in the field of international relations.' "

With blazing clarity, ill will has been embraced by this president as a reason for targeting individuals and institutions, even when it’s, at best, loosely linked to his policy ambitions. This is a serious legal flaw, yet none of the more than 170 lawsuits and counting filed against the administration lead with it.

This is a great message but poor delivery without #ALT-Text. Not hard.....https://www.imagetotext.info/ and many other services....
There is a political event happening today in my city being hosted by a prominent Democratic politician and the Republican opposition is planning a "counter protest" over it. Here's the thing, they know who the politician is and what time they will be speaking but have the wrong location and are mobilizing people to protest in a empty parking lot miles away from the event. This is indicative of the problem with these people, they have half the information right but are more than willing to operate and act on the half they have wrong.

Photo of shameless Rupert Murdoch beside the Fox "News/Propaganda Channel logo. After being in the United States for only one year, Ronald Reagan made this Australian a citizen- Then he had his FCC Chairman scrap the Fairness Doctrine which kept newspapers and television programs from lying to the American people- Ever since, Rupert Murdoch has been brainwashing Americans into believing our legitimate press is lying like he lies. Fox News is not news, it is propaganda that the oligarchs use to poison the minds of Americans. It is time we treated it as such-

Canadian shoppers are starting a new habit. After checking an item if it is a US product they return it to the shelf upside down and turn several more of the same item upside down so the next shopper knows to skip that product.

If Tesla goes below $114 Musk will get margin called. This forces him to liquidate his shares which will send Tesla stock into a death spiral and his whole empire will crumble. Musk will do anything to prevent this. And Trump will too. So... keep the pressure on.

Here's a gameplan:
This Tues he'll be speaking to the joint of Congress and there will be millions and millions of people watching. Dems can do civil disobedience. After each lie, one by one, they can stand up and turn their backs to him. Soon, many will be standing and can shout "Stop the Steal" or sing the national anthem... They can hold the floor and interrupt the coronation just like he tried to do on J6. He will be shamed and we know he'll respond badly, despicably. He will be exposed as the weak pitiful man he is and his party will also be rebuked.

Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof I'm hearing from experts around the world about what the destruction of USAID is meaning: "a global health massacre," in the words of a doctor who has devoted her life to humanitarian work on the front lines. Millions of malnourished children left to starve. Pregnant women not getting micronutrients to prevent neural tube defects. Programs against schistosomiasis abandoned. HIV positive patients left without ARV's. Water no longer purified. Surveillance against Ebola and bird flu set back. TB patients unable to get medicine. I've long argued that USAID should be reformed, but this Trump/Musk demolition is cruel and incompetent and benefits China, while killing children just as wonderful as our own. 1:10PM • 2/27/25 52K

This shit doesn't happen in France, and I'll tell you why: the rich went too far and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in charge get above themselves, the French just stop working and everyone remembers who actually holds the real power. Don't forget your real power Americans. They don't let you have unions for a reason.

In conclusion, I respectfully suggest that you take your letter, fold it until it's all corners, and perform an anatomically improbable act upon yourself with it. I trust that metaphor is clear enough even for you. Should you have any further questions, I invite you to direct them to the nearest constitution— assuming, of course, that you can still recognize one. Yours in contempt, Robert Garcia P.S. Feel free to take as much time as you need to look up any words you don't understand. I'll wait.'

1/2 Dear Edward R. Martin Jr, I have received your letter of inquiry, which I initially mistook for a poorly conceived practical joke. Upon realizing its authenticity, I found myself caught between amusement at its breathtaking stupidity and alarm at its sinister implications. Allow me to clarify, in terms so simple that even a government lawyer might comprehend: When I spoke of "bringing actual weapons to this bar fight," I was employing a literary device known as a metaphor. Perhaps you've heard of it? It's a figure of speech not meant to be taken literally, much like when I now say that your letter isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Your disingenuous attempt to construe my words as a threat against your darling oligarch-in- chief, Mr. Musk, is so pathetically transparent that it would be laughable if it weren't so dangerous. That you have the temerity to describe this man—whose qualifications for government service seem to consist primarily of an inflated ego and a Twitter addiction—as an "appointed representative" worthy of special protection is an insult to every actual public servant in this nation. Let me be crystal clear: My words were not a threat. They were a promise—a promise to fight, with every legal and rhetorical tool at my disposal, against the creeping authoritarianism that your office now seems so eager to enable. If that prospect frightens you, perhaps you should consider a career change. I hear there's always demand for bootlickers in totalitarian regimes. Your letter, with its ominous deadline and thinly veiled threats, is a shameful abuse of your office and an embarrassment to the ideals of justice you purport to uphold. It is, in short, the kind of fascistic overreach that would make Joseph McCarthy blush with envy.
