My indictment of Donald Trump and his disgraceful subservience to Vladimir Putin while undermining Canada, Ukraine and the western allies. My speech and notes. charlieangus.substack.com/p/indictment...

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

IN EL SALVADOR: Senator Van Hollen says Trump is in violation of court orders — and is paying El Salvador to imprison an innocent man. (And #KilmarÁbregoGarcía is not the only one)

Among other things in this insane wsj article, Elon hits up women on DMs to have his babies, of which he seems to have dozens. He sets them up with money partly structured as loans. He has a compound in TX where he wants each mom/kids to live in separate residences. Kids are called his “legion”.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

So Trump wants to start shipping “homegrown criminals” to El Salvador? This is fine—if the first person sent is Donald Trump. See the newest cartoon from @deadder.bsky.social:

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

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?"

Sanders: We look to these law firms who have hundreds of well-paid lawyers to defend the constitution, to defend the rule of law. They were more interested in getting millions of dollars from their lobbying.. They should be ashamed of themselves.

They are not the same.

Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Booker: "I've never seen an administration in my lifetime do something so monumentally wrong and that so staggering hurts American people."

We have a winner…🏆

Millions of people took to the streets yesterday to send a message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Even during these dark days, remember that you are not alone. Solidarity.

An elderly holocaust survivor confronts ICE and Tom Homan. His bravery after what he has experienced and endured shows his incredible indomitable spirit even the Nazis couldn’t crush. #MomSky

Not sure who needs to hear this, but to become a naturalized US citizen, an immigrant green card holder must ALREADY pass a high school level test on American history and civics. Most native-born Americans would fail the test if they had to take it

Something, something…merit based hiring?

JUST IN: The FDA’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, has been pushed out. In his resignation letter, he slams RFK Jr. for rejecting “truth and transparency” and pushing “misinformation and lies.” Marks warns of an “unprecedented assault on scientific truth.”

IT GETS WORSE Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. New via @wsj.com:

Trump just refused to rule out seeking an unconstitutional third term, claiming “there are methods” for him to stay in office. “I’m not joking... A lot of people would like me to.”

The Signal chat wasn’t the only damaging info leaked this week. 2 spreadsheets with private information about USAID organizations operating in foreign countries were linked online. These countries include China, Russia and Cuba. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Folks, this is a scam. The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs. Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

It's simply demoralizing sharing a country with people who think Donald Trump is someone worth emulating: to be surrounded by that kind of moral inversion every single day, to be continually encountering such cruelty. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-grief-...

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

So Trump didn't know about the soldiers... and they didn't tell him about the Signal chat... who's really running the White House?

Here’s an unctuous toady who has zero scruples around caring about what could have happened to troops due to the morons running national security and confuses luck with what her actual job is, which is making sure people don’t have to rely on luck to stay alive www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

from today's post — link to the whole thing is here: bit.ly/4j3EPsI thanks for reading!

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

The economy is in chaos, the Defense Dept. is trying to cover up leaking war plans in a group chat, and Trump & Musk are dismantling vital programs. What is the GOP using precious Floor time on this week? Repealing refrigerator efficiency standards. You can’t make this up. The GOP is out of touch.

My latest on Witkoff acting like a Kremlin asset, spewing nonstop Kremlin propaganda, and being in Moscow when he was added to the Signal Houthi chat

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times. tinyurl.com/r6nkkz3j

While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force. MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse. tribune.com.pk/story/253234...

Well that’s a headline I did not except to see. Ever.

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards held a town hall in Asheville, North Carolina. Constituents raged at the congressman about the Trump administration — DOGE, mass firings, tariffs, Social Security, and more. For about an hour and a half, an audience of about 300 constituents raged at…

Five years after COVID-19 was officially declared a pandemic, Donald Trump's botched response remains one of the worst moments our nation experienced during his first term in office.  Here are other moments you've probably forgotten. https://youtu.be/gdstZDCCgAc?si=_RiziFsySPY9mjx7

Finally something she says that I can agree with ✋️

This should tell you all you need to know.

Always the game — or, really, the con

We've had a lot of recessions, but this is the first one that is completely unforced and entirely owed to just one person. What part of Trump promising "lower prices on day one" meant a market crash, economic recession, and surging prices?
