The White House shut down plans to return wrongfully deported Maryland dad Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S. from an infamous El Salvador mega-prison.

Federal attorneys “began discussing how to undo the mistake” and return Garcia almost immediately after his deportation, but Trump shut that down.

U.S. officials were quietly working to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home from El Salvador. Then the White House stepped in.

I’m moving to Illinois next week. I need to know when Dick Durbin’s term is over because I will be campaigning like hell for his opponent.

Who is going to take the forests then?
The U.S. Forest Service is firing roughly 3,400 federal employees across every level of the agency beginning today, according to two people familiar with the plans.

The cuts amount to about a 10 percent reduction in the agency’s workforce.

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed.

But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

Obscene. Grotesque.

Apt descriptors for Trump’s decision to pardon people who assaulted law enforcement even as they assaulted the Capitol.

Pardoning violent insurrectionists is a terrible – but not terribly surprising – way for Donald Trump to begin his new administration.

You know who we really owe an to apology to? The Capitol police officers who did their job on 01/06/21 to keep members of Congress from being killed and now have to watch a vote be certified for a man who refers to those same violent insurrectionist as patriots, all to appease his misinformed base.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.

In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.

Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

(It's) happening in a state with one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion bans
-no exceptions for rape or incest
-& 1 of the highest birth rates
-Critics argue that’s no coincidence
-Texas is ranked next to last for women’s health and reproductive care

‘Baby in a dumpster.’ A spate of abandoned newborns unsettles Texas.
Critics say these cases are no coincidence in a state with one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion bans and near-bottom rankings on women’s health care.

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way.

This is not a hot take.

It's just plain common sense.
