“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

motherjones.comDoes Kristi Noem even know what habeas corpus is?The Homeland Security secretary's word salad raised even more questions about the administration's assault on fundamental rights.

Always great when the agency in “turmoil” is … {checks notes} … the United States Department of Defense.

As Oscar Wilde said about Cabinet secretaries, to lose one top political appointee may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose four looks like carelessness. www.mediaite.com/politics/the...

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion Now he’s down to $150 billion And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services This clown will cut $58 billion Maybe

A president who was truly committed to opposing political violence and standing up against antisemitism would have condemned the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro and his family by now.

Speaker Mike Johnson says we need to “eliminate people on Medicaid.” They call it “rooting out fraud.” But the plan is clear: $880 billion in cuts— and they’re coming for the poor, the sick, the young, and the old. This is not reform. It’s extraction.

Every single “investment expert “ is emphasizing diversification to include investment in other stock markets. And that will extend to private markets and start ups. It’s possible to export your smartest people, hire overseas , and fund their business at a fraction of costs you face here. Insane

This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA

BREAKING: Social Security faces thousands more job cuts, even with customer service in a tailspin. The agency has already seen 7,000 job losses from dramatic cost-cutting efforts by Trump and Musk — but now DOGE is demanding even more.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

The Social Security Administration has already cut 7,000 jobs. As a result, its website is crashing. Phone lines are overwhelmed. Beneficiaries can't get service. What is DOGE recommending now? More layoffs.  Let it be known that Trump is effectively cutting Social Security.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy. Sorry, *was.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-signal...
