Man ‘Disappeared’ by ICE Was on El Salvador Flight Manifest, Hacked Data Shows
Ricardo Prada Vásquez was not on a government list of people sent to a mega prison in El Salvador. But hacked data shows he was booked on a flight to the country.
Studies show an inverse correlation between intelligence and the susceptibility to false framing. Borders are "man-made" and also the product of agreements between people which are real, valid, and enforceable. The whims of an addled egomaniac don't merit any coverage vis-a-vis Canadian Sovereignty.

Two of Musk’s most strident goons manually, one-by-one, killed lifesaving programs even those Rubio wants credit for trying to save, on Musk’s orders.
The only thing efficient about DOGE is the deaths per employee. They are truly killing it.
I'm half convinced that the origin story for Gen X-ers who don't suck is The Muppet Show.
No bullshit. I probably never questioned my sexuality because I saw Rita Moreno and Debbie Harry on The Muppet Show.

Truthfully, we all watched the Muppets (and SS and TEC) but some of us had better takes than others. I admit to having been, briefly, an 8th grade moth to Regan's flame. But I learned to think for myself and slowly purged the noxious hatred. Sadly, some of our cohort will never stop idolizing Ronnie
I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be:
We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

I absolutely agree that your framing is inaccurate. If a church wishes to establish a non-profit charity, separate from the main, profit-generating, politically active church corporation, said charity ought to be eligible for tax-exempt status as long as it freely welcomes non-believers.

Not about penalizing at all – Think bigger. Charity will persist regardless of the tax status of churches. And, hopefully, voters will ultimately realize that charitable efforts should generally be remade as taxpayer-funded government efforts.

NEW: White House sources and court documents reviewed by Axios reveal allegations that Kilmar Abrego Garcia abused his wife on several occasions.
The information is strengthening the Trump’s administration’s resolve to prevent Garcia’s return to the U.S.
Newly revealed abuse allegations fuel White House's resistance to return Abrego Garcia
Garcia's mistaken deportation to an El Salvador prison is key to the legal and political fight over Trump's immigration policy and due process for undocumented immigrants.

Nope. Chris didn't take retribution through a petty act, Trump folks did. This is newsworthy because of the Trump desire to act tyrannical, not because Chis has to stand in line.
Saying Orange Hamburglar is addled ignores how he's intentionally bullying. Whether the photo is/is not real, he can't concede the point anyhow. He puts Moran in the most interpersonally uncomfortable position in an attempt to force an acknowledgement that the "truth" is whatever Trump claims.
This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Thus began a desperate whisper campaign typical of this administration: "Trump's really, really not afraid. You have to print that."

It's such a patty dispute! The "person close" is obviously KP herself. As you peel the onion of the story and get to the nuggets of reality, you can really feel the grilling Wendy's sacked her with. She's fried and her image may never ketchup to this public battering.
Yikes. This is not something you want to hear a United States senator say—both because of what it confirms about the political climate and what it reveals about the senator. (Kudos to Murkowski for her candor, though, I guess.)
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."
Fuck that. She campaigned for the job of US Senator. I'm disgusted by her and her colleagues who place more importance on reelection than on governing.

Figuring this to be hugely embarrassing for LAPD and career-ending for some officers. This kind of nonsense press statement by the cops always signals wagon-circling.
