RFK Jr. speaking about autistic children:

“These are kids who will never pay taxes, they’ll never hold a job, they’ll never play baseball, they’ll never write a poem, they’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”

Friends, this story strongly suggests the interim US Attorney in DC was very recently on the payroll of Russian intelligence.

Exclusive: Ed Martin, now the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, did not disclose his RT and Sputnik appearances from 2016 to 2024 to the Senate. The State Department has said the networks act like arms of Russian intelligence.
Trump’s D.C. U.S. attorney pick appeared on Russian state media over 150 times
Trump nominee Ed Martin’s 100-plus appearances on Russian state-directed media RT and Sputnik from 2016 to 2024 alarm some former national security officials.

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

This is the first habeas petition to directly seek the release of a Venezuelan detained at CECOT.
NEW: We @immcouncil.org just joined @nipnlg.bsky.social and @ccrjustice.org to file a habeas petition seeking an order requiring the Trump admin to end the indefinite imprisonment of Edicson Quintero, sent to El Salvador on March 15 with NO DUE PROCESS.

Like so many others, he deserves to be freed.

We've reached the point where Republicans are flying to El Salvador to visit one of the most vicious prisons in the world to have photo ops so they can prove their loyalty to the President of the United States.

Black Americans make up 13% of the population. But as federal government employees, Black employees are:

20% of the Dept. of Health & Human Services
24% of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs
26% of postal workers,
30% of the Dept. of Education

That's the "swamp" Trump is draining.

For generations, government jobs helped build the Black middle class. With Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE, those days may be over.

House Rs today looked to advance an assault on the 14th Amendment.

Why?

Because they believe the bigoted great replacement lie that through immigration & birthrates, "real" Americans are in danger of being replaced. Advancing this white nationalist agenda to rewrite who is an American.

In 2020 they used the Big Lie (100s of misleading claims) of "voter fraud" to try to overturn an election. In 2024 they're using similar tactics to create/amplify misleading claims of "government waste and fraud" to justify dismantling huge sections of the U.S. government.
