If I am sentenced to death and they attempt to execute me but FAIL, am I free now? If not, why try so hard to save my life if i am marked for death? Just kill me as I lay comatose - pinch my air hose, dose me a third time. Otherwise, what are we even doing?

While this hearing didn't proceed, it's clear the Trump admin is continuing what a judge has called a "vindictive prosecution" of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As I said from day 1, if they can do this to Kilmar, they can do it to anyone. We'll keep fighting this political persecution.

Kilmar Ábrego Garcia hearing on his deportation case is suddenly canceled
The government was moving to vacate a preliminary injunction preventing ICE from detaining and deporting him, while his legal team was trying to make the injunction permanent.

This is how the new CBS keeps people from remembering that the longest serving GOP Speaker of the House ultimately went to jail for covering up child rape. Which is apparently always in season.

Midterms are a month away and it’s so important to vote for Democrats in every race. I say this because it’s undeniably true, and also so I can block any “Fuck voting, both parties are the same, man!” douches that come out of the woodwork.

Thanks to Trump & Republicans' refusal to extend ACA tax credits, Marylanders will see their ACA premiums go up AGAIN in 2027. That's on top of rising copays & deductibles.   They're gutting healthcare while they spend billions on an illegal war & tax cuts for the rich. Shameful.
Maryland ACA plan premiums will rise 14.6% next year
