Awe, this is heartbreaking. This is 5-year-old Liam Tadeo. ICE plans to deport him, tearing him away from his mother. He has spent the last few days detained with his father at the Dilley, TX detention center, a facility that has faced serious allegations of abuse, neglect, and terrible conditions.

UPDATE: The White House has now deleted its tweet in which it compared Donald Trump to Hitler

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

YIKES: The Trump regime tried to make Trump look tough. Instead, the Department of Education appears to have accidentally compared him to Hitler.

The James Talarico campaign has asked a court to unseal transcripts of a pair of years-old depositions given by Ken Paxton as part of a messy securities fraud dispute. "The right of Texans to see these depositions matters more than ever."

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center. ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad. Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.

The Trump administration is trying to change what science is allowed to be taught, and now a West Point professor who taught there for 17 years says he is being pushed out after speaking up about it.

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.

Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones on the part of Doris Miller’s story too many Americans were never taught: His heroism at Pearl Harbor should have earned him the Medal of Honor. Why didn’t it? “I’ll give you one guess. He was a Black man.” Now they want to take his name off an aircraft carrier

Criminal slumlord Jared Kushner’s corrupt $5B resort plan in Albania has all but effectively collapsed after the country froze all of his assets that are tied with his money laundering project. Good. Well done to the Albanian people who refused to see this happen.

Phang: Each and every day after December 19th, 2025 has been a violation of the Epstein files transparency act. Now, to compound the problem for Blanche and the DOJ, you have violations of court orders.

In a sane society we would just know who Jeffrey Epstein's accomplices were and they would have all come to justice. The endless spiral of the "Epstein Files" is a distraction from the fact that we could just listen to victims and lock up abusers at any time.

This is crazy. Alex is from Brazil, why would they deport him to Guyana? He’s a longtime West Hollywood resident who has been following his immigration requirements. He wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t on the run. He showed up for his required ICE check-in. And that’s where they detained him.

Two and a half more years of this self-soothing narcissist pilfering our Treasury, waging murderous wars, running up debt like a toxic shopaholic, terrorizing innocents, bulldozing landmarks, branding his name on cultural institutions, and building monuments to himself that nobody else ever will. 🤬

Phang: So for this federal judge to be at his wit's end, but to still be giving the grace to these people to do the right thing, shows that he's really laying the foundation for them to be held in contempt.

FLAG: Trump's hand-picked board at the Kennedy Center just voted to inscribe Trump's name on the building beneath the main signage — an aggressive test of a federal judge's order that found only Congress had the authority to change the institution’s name.

So far the fat fuck has destroyed our history, murdered our citizens, broken our economy, lost a war against a second rate power, driven prices up and wages down, alienated ALL of our allies, squandered our military arms, created a Magastapo, and stolen billions. What the fuck does it take America?

Pete Buttigieg’s efforts to help Dems regain power are taking on a new focus: state legislatures. He is backing a crop of mostly long-shot, down-ballot Dems in Indiana – the first move in what his team says will be a number of state-by-state endorsements. 🔗 politi.co/4wUBZ0v

Good morning. Just a friendly reminder that Ghislaine Maxwell is currently protected, enjoying pampering and puppy time while America's service members are forced to drink diseased water, eat rotten meat, and huff air infested by mold. She does yoga while they choose drowning.

McGowan: The president's personal defense attorney should not be the attorney general. The man who ignored the Epstein victims and then moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison to where she is now, should not be the attorney general. I think Cassidy is a spineless coward.
