This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough.
This is deeply sick conduct.

Turns out allowing pesticide companies to put PFAS and forever chemicals on our food is a really, really bad idea.

A font that works for dyslexic people *really is* DEI -- it is Inclusion. Trump personally ordered all government documents to use fonts that work less well for dyslexic people, explicitly because it is DEI. A hugely costly change for no purpose other than exclusion.

Trump says black lung disease made America great. Like measles, Trump is committed to bringing it back.
A planned rule to set new silica exposure limits—and finally address Appalachia’s devastating black lung crisis—has been under continued assault by coal bosses and the Trump admin. Now, it looks like it’s off the table entirely.

But hey, Trump got 5 deferments for a non-existent bone spur and avoided syphilis (so he says).
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.
