NEW: A majority of judges on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals appeared ready to allow a federal judge to conduct a criminal contempt investigation into whether the Trump admin defied his orders when deporting 100+ men to the CECOT supermax prison in El Salvador. www.huffpost.com/entry/appeal...

There really is this rash of very weird GOP defenses. Like when Paxton said the guy didn’t do one day in prison. That’s a lie! I put him in for a hard 60 days! Or Marshall saying he didnt get the pregnant woman arrested for late bill. It was for not showing up for the lawsuit over the late bill!

Mullin is lying. These were not identified as "high-risk" nations, and it was not "tougher vetting" that cut entries. The absolute number of denials is LOWER now than under Biden. They just aren't even processing applications, and you owe every American sponsor an answer.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

The White House is bragging about reducing immigration (including refugees) from Muslim-majority countries to near 0. The U.S. is a nation of 340 million or so people. It was letting in just 18,000 people or less per month from these same countries prior to Jan 2025. Obvious anti-Muslim bigotry.

The Supreme Court’s decision to let the Trump Administration deport people to countries where they have zero ties is indefensible. Taxpayers shouldn't fund tearing people from the only home they’ve ever known, nor should our legal system fast-track these unilateral deportations.

It's not "super intelligence." It's not even "intelligence." It continues to fuck up easy questions, like to whom I dedicated my most recent book. Also, Mike Johnson is a craven, simpering weasel and none of the people standing near him in this video respect him even the tiniest bit.

Schmitt concocts an elaborate conspiracy all based on the premise that Smith must’ve been in ATL on a certain date because he was at a “Hawks” game that day but it wasn’t the Atlanta Hawks it was the Iowa Hawkeyes. His big gotcha moment made him look like a complete fool. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Trump White House official app is fraught with trackers. The White House app covertly collects excessive user data and shares it with third-party trackers while sidestepping federal security rules. For example, the app includes scripts to monitor a user's location several times per minute.

Millions of dollars that Trump is using to support Republican candidates was donated to his PAC by wealthy fraudsters and their family members before they were pardoned for their crimes. Instead of crime victims getting restitution, Republicans got campaign cash from the felons.
