Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

Murray Osorio PLLC, counsel for Kilmar Abrego Garcia: "If the government believes there is a legitimate case to be made, it should present that case in a court of law … not on social media. But that cannot happen until Mr. Abrego Garcia is returned to the United States and given full due process."

I don’t know, millions of people got in the streets a few days ago, the moderates are freaking out about their money, and the President of the United States is carrying out a wildly unpopular, intentional demolition of the economy. Might be time for leaders with spines to actually get in the game.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The image is an edited comic panel from *Calvin and Hobbes*, featuring Calvin and Hobbes walking in the snow. The speech bubble contains a text about DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives, stating:  

*"DEI initiatives were not put in place to ensure lower-qualified minorities could get hired instead of more highly-qualified white people; it was put in place to ensure lower-qualified white people were not hired instead of more highly-qualified minorities."*  

The text has been added to the original comic, altering its original dialogue.

Eliminating waste, fraud, & abuse NEVER involves WRITING CODE to alter processes BEFORE REVIEWING the processes to POSITIVELY INDENTIFY the malfeasance, & the indiscriminate FIRING OF EMPLOYEES has NOTHING to do with ending abuse...it is, in itself, an abuse of legal & constitutional procedure.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

it’s hard not to feel disillusioned when reporting all the flagrantly illegal and terrifying things this government is doing somehow doesn’t fully break through to the mainstream. it feels like cable news and corporate media made a deal to convince people to keep calm and carry on.

Good morning! Just your daily reminder to download the "5 calls" app. It will give you the names and numbers of who to call and a script. Call twice a day. Flood them. You may think they don't want to hear from you, and you're probably right, but they have to tally these calls.
