Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

This story should be getting way more attention. Trump ordered the DOJ to criminally investigate 2 former officials for nothing other than criticizing the Trump administration, and he has accused them of treason. TREASON, punishable by death. That should send chills down everyone’s spines.

Trump and Musk's backing wasn't enough to flip Wisconsin Supreme Court
National Democrats sent in millions for the liberal's campaign while Trump endorsed — and Musk financed — the conservative's. Abortion, redistricting and Tesla could come before the court.

There is nothing that encapsulates this administration more than this: inflation increasing, crashing consumer confidence, growing dissatisfaction with the Trump economy, and Donald’s response is to write a check to the world’s richest man.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road.
NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B.
