The president of the United States and the president of El Salvador have conspired to kidnap a man and hold him hostage in an El Salvador prison. This criminality ignores the rule of law and thumbs its nose at a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return.

FAFO

Trump said again he’s open to sending U.S. citizens to a Salvadoran prison. There is no constitutional basis for this—such an act would be a direct violation of the Constitution.

Impeachment NOW

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Damn. This is who we have become. 💔

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

In Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee, Kentucky State University President Koffi C. Akakpo urged lawmakers to approve a resolution to release funding for construction on campus. He says the university was in a "financial crisis" before he took over. The resolution had failed earlier today.

Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers was just in the KY House speaking with House Speaker David Osborne and other members of House leadership. Didn't quite hear what they were talking about.

Judge John J. McConnell Jr. of the Federal District Court for the District of Rhode Island extended an order preventing the Trump administration from withholding billions in congressionally approved funds to 22 states and the District of Columbia.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Goddamit. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

He should focus on his actual business

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Call it by its name: Trumpcession

Trump signed executive orders to expand logging on public lands while bypassing environmental protections. His “energy emergency” declaration lets him override regulations entirely.

We are losing our free speech.

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.

is it woke to want to end cancer?

Trump, Vance, and Musk are pushing to rehire a staffer who resigned after being called out for a social media account with a history of racist posts. “To err is human, to forgive divine,” Elon Musk said in defense of the move. No—it’s not err; it’s racism. No excuses.

The homepage of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s website was updated Friday night to display a “Page not found” error message. This change occurred just one day after members of Musk’s team gained access to the bureau’s headquarters and computer systems.
