Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.
It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison *without due process* is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him.
Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.
BREAKING: The Court has folded. The Trump administration wins.
As expected.
Shame on those major-media journalists who falsely told the public yesterday that the Supreme Court order upheld rule of law.
In fact, it facilitated this travesty of justice today. It is unlikely Garcia will ever return.
Historian here posting for no reason at all.
U.S. Constitution, Article II Section 4:
"The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
No!
Stop this, major media!
That’s _not_ what just happened!
DOJ at _no_ point made _any_ commitment to “bring Garcia home,” nor did it ask for “more time” to “bring Garcia home.”
It said that Garcia is in the custody of El Salvador and the court has no jurisdiction there.
Get it right, dammit!
I do not believe that insider trading was the intent behind the tariff thing but I do believe the only way they could get him to reverse his position without losing face was to point out the opportunity do some good ol fashioned fraud.
CHINA FINANCE MINISTRY: “.. Given that American goods are no longer marketable in China under the current tariff rates, if the US further raises tariffs on Chinese exports, China will disregard such measures.”

New in PN: Yes, they voted for this
"Perhaps the most damning commentary about the US electorate and media is that Trump never even tried to conceal his malicious intentions and deranged policy positions."
Opinion | In three consecutive elections, the Republicans have nominated a 6x bankrupt sexual abuser who is now a convicted felon. But in four of the past five elections, the Democrats have nominated a woman and/or minority. Our two-party system is broken.
Lost in the scandalous "back room deal" between sycophantic Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, and Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem to hand confidential taxpayer info over to immigration enforcement agents is that IMMIGRANTS ARE PAYING TAXES.
We should refer to the El Salvador prison as a concentration camp, because it is.
We should refer to the process by which we're disappearing people as kidnapping, because it is.
Ok sorry but getting on my soapbox to say that this isn’t a u-turn or a 180 or even a pause on tariffs.
The MASSIVE tariffs are gone but BIG tariffs are still in place. And more so than before last week.
Frame it right.
Neguse demolishes Arrington's hypocrisy: "When the stock market dropped 1k points years ago, you rushed to bemoan Biden's actions. You condemned it. Now the market drops 1k points every day for the last week and you claim it's the economy running well. Do you understand why that's a tough argument?"
The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else.
Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.
The Chinese went all in — jacking up their tariffs, selling Treasuries, probably threatening to pull back from today’s regularly scheduled auction of new Treasuries.
And Donald Trump blinked.
WEAKEST. PRESIDENT. EVER.
"The same people in the administration promising the return of domestic manufacturing and coal mining are also dismantling measures to keep workers safe. They’re the same people who don’t believe in a minimum wage that could feed a family. They’re the same people who want to see unions crushed."
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA):
"I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"
Trump created an environment of instability where it's impossible to make long term plans. Whether you're a company, investor, or anyone working to put food on the table.
The GOP only promises you more of this. If you want stability, you have to vote for it by voting them out.
The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke.
It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.
You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it?
He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.
Crockett: It has taken Texas’ largest measles outbreak in 30 years with more than 500 confirmed cases and the deaths of two children for the secretary of health and human services to say what we already knew. The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the vaccin
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
“Willkie’s longest-serving lawyer, Joseph T. Baio, resigned …
“In an email to the firm’s executive committee, Mr. Baio wrote that he had left so he could ‘join the fight against governmental tyranny, unconstitutional decrees and social injustice, particularly at this critical time.’”
What kills me is I know a bunch of very rich very stupid people who voted for him because they said he’d be good for the economy. Anyone alive during 2016 to 2020 would’ve been able to tell you that Trump is completely nonsensical and moronic. we are the United States of amnesia.
Bartiromo to Bessent: "You're talking about $6 trillion in market value lost in a week. You're talking about CEOs now unwilling to give guidance for 2025. Is there a response or a backup plan for what seems to be corporate America shutting down corporate activity?"
#JasmineCrockett is on 🔥🔥🔥
"All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession."
Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, in a letter shared with members, has requested a one-on-one debate on the House floor with Speaker Mike Johnson on the budget.
Rand Paul says his fellow Republicans come up to him in the hill and whisper, "'free trade is good. Keep going.' But they don't want to say it because of the politics of it."
Crockett: "If we are gonna talk about efficiency, let's talk about the fact that as of March 30, Trump's golfing has cost us approximately $26 million. And the last time I checked, we're not getting anything in return for that ... he decided he was going to golf instead of receiving four heroes."
Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics.
It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology.
Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders.
And then it all becomes clear.

The GOP Tax Scam takes food out of the mouths of children to reward their billionaire donors like Elon Musk.
Democrats will strongly oppose this reckless budget.
And we can defeat it tomorrow on the House floor if just four Republicans join us.
