NYT and Washington Post, put your best reporters on this and place their stories on your front pages. MSNBC, hammer on this—you haven’t been. Democrats, talk about this every day, several times a day. Do not let Trump’s sewer standards jade us.

Trump Just Did the Most Corrupt Thing Any President Has Ever Done
He’s using the White House to get rich from anonymous investors—and it’s hardly even a news story.

🚨NEW: Wisconsin judge threatens to go on strike in support of Judge Hannah Dugan, arrested by the FBI. Monica Isham: “I have no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE & sent to a concentration camp without the due process the constitutions we swore to support require.”👏

Casar: At the end of the day, they believe you pay taxes to make them and their friends richer. They believe you should work longer hours for less pay—again, to make them and their friends richer. And maybe they can even squeeze in a little insider stock trading on the side.

I have to admit to being pretty shocked by universities and law firms just rolling over. Universities because the academics I know truly care about academic freedom (and rigor), and law firms because fighting adversaries in court is what they do. I don't get what they all think the outcome will be.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528
04/11/2025
Notice of Termination of Parole
it is time for you to leave the United States.
You are currently here because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) paroled you into the United States for a limited period. Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5)(A) and 8 C.F.R. § 212.5(e), DHS is now exercising its discretion to terminate your parole. Unless it expires sooner, your parole will terminate 7 days from the date of this notice.
If you do not depart the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States - unless you have otherwise obtained a lawful basis to remain here. Any benefits you receive in the United States connected with your parole - such as work authorization — will also terminate. You will be subject to potential criminal prosecution, civil fines, and penalties, and any other lawful options available to the federal government.
DHS encourages you to leave immediately on your own.
You can use the CBP Home mobile app on your phone to make arrangements for your departure. If you are departing the United States via land, you should report your departure once outside the United States via that same app. If you are having trouble reporting your departure via land, visit https://194.cbp.dhs.gov/home for more information about voluntarily reporting your departure.
Again, DHS is terminating your parole. Do not attempt to remain in the United States - the federal government will find you. Please depart the United States immediately.

PSA: When media reports on President Trump's expected invocation of Alien Enemies Act, it would be good to remind the reader/listener: The Act also includes summary deportation of permanent legal residents and other immigrants who are lawfully present as well. It's that extreme an emergency power.

When Cheetolini thanks @schumer.senate.gov for “doing the right thing,” do you think Schumer feels ashamed and embarrassed about it? Clearly, his spine sits with the GOP rather than the people he’s supposed to be representing.
