That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Reminder that Trump was ordered by the Supreme Court to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States.
That was nearly two months ago.
If Trump can violate due process and openly defy a SCOTUS order, what’s to stop him from doing the same to anyone else?

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Social Security Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek must resign.
Leland Dudek has granted DOGE access to private data systems and deeply personal information, laid off thousands of staff, and closed critical offices.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself.
SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then.
Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.
