Trump administration welcomes white South African refugees but ends protections for Afghans - Axios
Why would any country help us like the Afghan refugees only to be slapped in the face by allowing white afrikaners who stole for centuries from black Afrikaner’s be welcomed with expedited process?
If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?
Trump administration poised to accept luxury jet as gift for Trump from Qatar, sources say - ABC News
My understanding is presidential gifts belong to the country not the president, who is being bribed
Alina Habba tells Fox News that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and is being held in a secret location right now.
Martha MacCallum: "Where is he being held?"
Habba: 'I'm not going to speak to that right now. He's obviously in New Jersey."
Amazing how the machine quickly tried to downplay what was an absolutely illegal event in New Jersey, we should all be incredibly outraged at their audacity
Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Trump is selling off access to our government to the highest bidder with his crypto. - REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS WHERE ARE YOU???
Democrats should stand together and use our power to fix the GENIUS Act before the vote tomorrow. There is no excuse to facilitate Trump's crypto corruption.

Hey @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I keep adding stops on our tour of spots where Republican Congressmen are hiding and refusing to hold town halls.
Saturday morning we will be in Sarasota, Florida. We are already near capacity, so hustle to RSVP or follow the livestream here.
Senate Republicans are trying to jam Democrats with a stablecoin bill that helps Trump rake in hundreds of millions of dollars—just as he tanks the economy and raises costs for everyone else.
Rolling over without fixing this bill would be a huge mistake.
Donald Trump has a new Social Security Commissioner.
I’m pressing for answers on nearly 200 unanswered questions about his administration’s attempts to cut Americans’ benefits.
MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people?
P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes
M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process
“So far, the most energetic opposition has come not from civic leaders but from everyday citizens, showing up at Congressional town hall meetings or participating in Hands Off rallies across the country.
“Our leaders must follow their example.”

Russia keeps killing civilians, and our official policy, sadly, is to blame the Ukrainian victims. The US could act to stop this, but we seem to lack both empathy and strategy. Good reporting here.

I'm inviting Secretary McMahon to the Senate for a public forum next week.
If McMahon thinks destroying public education is a good idea, she should have no problem showing up and giving us some answers.

Trump: "I could announce 50 to 100 deals right now because I'm the shopkeeper and I keep the store. I know what countries are looking for and I know what we're looking for and I can just set those terms and they can go shopping or they don't have to go shopping, because everybody wants to shop here"
Trump on Letitia James: "She's a disaster for New York. She's a horrible, horrible human being. And I think she's a total crook. There's no question about it. But that's just my opinion. Pam is gonna have to do what she wants. She's a very bad person ... she's a sick person."

Trump not knowing if he will follow the constitution?? Trump is unfit to run this country!
What’s known about the specifics of the agreement between the United States and El Salvador when it comes to #CECOT prison.
And why sworn testimony by US officials may be necessary to fill in the gaps, even if the written agreement is finally disclosed.

An underreported detail of Judge Hannah Dugan’s arrest at her workplace by federal agents is the fact she was handcuffed and photographed, and later shackled and placed in a holding cell ahead of her initial court appearance.
Not only is this extremely abnormal, it was entirely unnecessary.
The
President
doesn’t
know
if
he
needs
to
uphold
the
Constitution.
This
shouldn’t
be
shocking
because
he
fomented
an
armed
insurrection.
So, yes, he should obviously be removed from office.
He’s violating the Constitution & nuking the economy.

Frank Bisignano has made clear he will not stop Trump and Musk’s Social Security chaos.
Today, we’re voting on his nomination. For every American who counts on Social Security, I’m a NO.
Absolutely no one should have access to social security data, without a vetted approved plan by congressional committee including safeguards for and audits on how it is being used. Giving access with no limits is like giving the bank vault to a thief!!!!
