You could not more perfectly invert the whole point of the power of the purse than this false notion the legislature cutting off appropriations means the executive gets more power.

President Trump says he is meeting today with Russ Vought, OMB director and "of PROJECT 2025 Fame," to discuss cuts to "Democrat Agencies."

Having meaningful Fourth Amendment remedies in place is important because without them you eventually get this - federal agents dragging US citizens from their homes without cause.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Let's be clear: Rich people in America are not suffering under the yoke of devastating taxes. Rich people are not suffering AT ALL. This is like looting food pantries and hospital lunchrooms and delivering all your looted food to Mar-a-Lago. It HAS ENOUGH FOOD. It always has. It always will.

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

You know, every single Republican in Congress knows the Library of Congress isn't a lending library for school kids. They know every book published in the US is sent there so Congress can find it if it wants to. So they all know exactly how stupid this is.

Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?  Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

Incredibly telling moment. Trump is completely sure he is right here. We have a president that is pickled in his information bubble, high on his own supply, can't tell his administration's propaganda from reality. Next the White House will insist Trump is right!

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

anyway it is very clear that the united states has no actual president and the acting president is whoever is in the oval office (stephen miller) at the same time as donald trump

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

While Trump's administration seeks to decrease immigration to the US, his company is again seeking seasonal foreign workers to work as servers, bartenders, and cooks at his Bedminster, NJ resort.

Or as the U.S. Holocaust Museum describes it… "What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process."

I love that AOC and Bernie are filling stadiums in deep red states while some Democrats are still like, “We need to stop talking about the issues people care about. It’s a bad look. Btw could you keep this anonymous?”

One House Dem called deportations a “soup du jour,” telling @axios.com Trump is “setting a trap for the Democrats, and like usual we're falling for it." “Rather than talking about the tariff policy ... we're going to go take the bait for one hairdresser.” www.axios.com/2025/04/16/d...

Trump says he'd like to deport US citizens to El Salvador: "I'd like to go a step further. I don't know what the laws are, we always have to obey the laws, but we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways... I'd like to include them in the group of people to get out of the country"

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

I think it’s very possible the guy is dead.

WOW: “Defendants are not in a position where they "can" share any information requested by the Court. That is the reality.” DOJ refuses to say more, doesn’t even say whether they are refusing to appear at 1 pm hearing
