I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

MAGA getting Kimmel cancelled after Kimmel said that MAGA was using Kirk's death to score political points is too on the nose, which is why the elite media isn't reporting it as such, because accurately reporting MAGA's cartoonish villainy is viewed as "coming off partisan."
“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

If this man who has spent forty years eroding trust in science and public health is installed in this role, there may truly be no turning back.

If you think, "That's fake" - it's not.
After admitting, in court, that they deported him in error, despite there *still* being no proof that he's a gang member or committed any crime, despite the god damned Supreme Court telling them they have to bring him back, they are doubling down.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

The key point; the GOP is more interested in protecting bigotry than helping Americans who are suffering, not just those in LA, but everyone that needs help.
