Reading this … it is just nauseating. And clear why they didn’t want Abrego Garcia to return or be free - to tell this story.

Thinking about the men there - including Andry Hernandez Romero, who Michelle Goldberg wrote about months ago: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/o...

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.
“In Cell 15, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia and 20 other Salvadorans were forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion. During this time, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was denied bathroom access and soiled himself…”

Nancy and her son Charlie went to D.C. to show Joni Ernst who her budget cuts would hurt—kids like him.

She wouldn’t meet with them.

They left with nothing but lip service, while Ernst filmed a mock apology in a graveyard. This isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty.

Didn’t Trump refuse to attend the dignified transfer of four Army soldiers who died during a military training mission—just to attend a Saudi-backed golf dinner with his billionaire Saudi donor buddies?

This parade isn’t about honoring the Army’s anniversary. It’s 100% about boosting Trump’s ego.

DOGE was supposed to save $2T, saved $160B, cost $135B in buyouts, and nuked $323B in tax revenue. So basically, we paid $300B for all that chaos.

I wrote my first novel! It’s a super fun rom-com with an awesome lead, amazing supporting characters, and a great book boyfriend. AND it reads like a rom-com film!

The GOP Tax Scam slashes Medicaid and food aid, gives massive handouts to the wealthy, and adds trillions to the deficit. Even conservative analysts say it’s a fiscal disaster. House Republicans don’t care about debt—they care about donors.
The Stark Math on the GOP Tax Plan: It Doesn’t Cut the Deficit
House Republicans advanced the bill late Sunday, but budget analysts across the political spectrum warn that the proposal worsens the U.S. fiscal picture.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think.

The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

NEW: Attorney General Ken Paxton’s crusade against alleged voter fraud has led to the criminal prosecution of six Democratic officials, all Latino, in Frio County, Texas. Civil rights groups say the charges are politically motivated and aim to suppress Latino civic participation.

Kidnapping people off the streets with no warrant, and just a vest marked “POLICE ICE” with no names, badge numbers or other identifiers, and putting them into unmarked cars is UN-AMERICAN. This is Gestapo tactics. This needs to be stopped!!

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
