“I’m plainly convinced that my situation in this ICE jail is direct retaliation for my coverage,” Mario Guevara told @ajc.com in an exclusive interview from the Folkston, Georgia ICE detention center where he is currently detained, despite a judge's bail order. “I haven’t committed any crimes.”

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo on her conversation earlier with Donald Trump
Tweet from Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo @Claudiashein

En nuestra conversación con el presidente
Trump, le expuse la estrategia integral que ha seguido México para atender el fenómeno migratorio, respetando los derechos humanos. Gracias a ello se atiende a las personas migrantes y a las caravanas previo a que lleguen a la frontera. Reiteramos que la postura de México no es cerrar fronteras sino tender puentes entre gobiernos y entre pueblos.

Translated from Spanish by Google:
In our conversation with President Trump, I explained to him the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights. Thanks to this, migrants and caravans are assisted before they reach the border. We reiterate that Mexico's position is not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and between peoples.

A jury convicted Trump on 34 felony counts. Grand juries voted on all 4 indictments of Trump. Juries — of citizens like you and me. They saw the evidence and said the cases were legit. All of that democratic accountability now just gets wiped away. WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.
Post by John Nichols:

Harris is now winning a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump in 2016 or 2020.

Trump 2016: 46.1%

Trump 2020: 46.8%

Harris 2024: 48.4%

Trump didn’t win a “landslide” in 2024. In fact, his victory margin is one of the smallest in US history.

Has this not already been said? The reason the lawyer(s) for the women witnesses against Gaetz are pushing for release of the Ethics Report is bc he's going to retaliate against them if he becomes AG.

Why do Trumpers want to abolish the Department of Education? Because it’s in charge of prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race and sex in schools that get federal funding, a policy Congress set in 1975 through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x

After Brexit in 2016, FB saw Russians ads as good business and took the money. They offered to help both US presidential campaigns, but Clinton say no. FB then teamed with Cambridge Analytica to enable suppression of Blacks, young people, and suburban women. It proved decisive for Trump. 2/x
