No lies detected! #ResistTrump

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Isn’t that the first thing you learn in Yale Law?

JUST NOW: Leader Jeffries, Senator Coons, and Senator Booker sat on the Capitol steps, watched the sunrise, and talked about the budget fight. This is what we need—bringing people in and speaking plain truth. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @coons.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

I donated to Van Hollen. Thank you, hero.

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government may not use federal benefits or funds to coerce parties to surrender their constitutional rights. This is what the Administration is doing ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

They saw the iceberg, stayed on deck, and lit cigars to watch the ship sink the “others.” Woopsie.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

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?

I can’t believe he’s not wearing a tie. Outrageous display of disrespect.

Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Casar: At the end of the day, they believe you pay taxes to make them and their friends richer. They believe you should work longer hours for less pay—again, to make them and their friends richer. And maybe they can even squeeze in a little insider stock trading on the side.

The so-called “art of the deal” led to the tanking of a healthy economy – imposing tariffs, weakening the dollar, & sinking the stock market. How long can we let the economy slide until we don’t fall for it? @jimacosta.bsky.social & @michaelrstrain.bsky.social join @10AMET to break it down. #Velshi

Do not obey

The attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was accidentally deported to El Salvador, says that him and the family have not been able to contact him and don't know his current condition. Absolutely unacceptable! Bring him HOME!

Casar: At the end of the day, this is about taking your hard-earned money and giving it to themselves—or funneling it to their friends. That’s all this is about.

I was told these people were “free speech absolutists”

So basically he moved the deck chairs around a little.

I have a few words for Stephen Miller starting with he should be behind bars.

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.
