Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT
BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months
NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"?
DEMAND HIS FREEDOM NOW

“The result is a hobbled federal workforce that is just at the beginning of the expected cuts – and an American public that is starting to experience the repercussions.
“We’re playing Russian roulette, and you’re putting a whole bunch of more bullets in the chambers, of managing that risk.”

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

Reminder that Donald Trump was the one who originally wanted TikTok banned because people were making viral videos making fun of him injecting bleach

Everything is dumb and terrible, and it's gonna be dumb and terrible for a while. It’s important to do what you can to make it less dumb and terrible, and it's important to find a way make some contentment for yourself in spite of everything being dumb and terrible.

Jon Stewart nails it: Republicans want Californians to suffer for partisan politics—but only when blue states are hurting. California pays more in federal taxes than 30 red states combined, but they won’t admit it.
SAY IT PLAIN: They’ll punish California because they think it’s the leader of woke!

“This might be the saddest day since that heinous Wednesday four years ago because we know now that even a deadly, violent insurrection at our Capitol is not enough to discourage so many Americans from rejecting its hateful, carnage-loving, felonious ringleader.”
“Trump and his enablers will continue to spread their lies that the J6 participants were acting patriotically. They will demand that we forget what we saw and heard…It will be up to each of us to not forget & to oppose their efforts to rewrite that history.”

Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill.
Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

Trump won the Electoral College, but winning with less than 50% of the vote is not a landslide, and it certainly doesn’t give him a mandate, especially when he had one of the smallest wins in history.
We can’t let anyone forget that.

Donald Trump’s cabinet picks are the most extreme in American history.
Call your Senators. Tell them to vote no when they are up for nomination in January.
America deserves better.

Lots of stories about how mass deportations will spike food prices and cause inflation. But as Tom Bonier noted, only one published before Election Day...
