Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.
He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.
He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.
He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.
He’s defying the Supreme Court.
Don’t you see what’s happening here?
He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.
BREAKING: El Salvador refuses to return Abrego Garcia and Trump refuses to facilitate his return, Marjorie Taylor Greene made a lot of money because of Trump's tariffs pause, and Trump defies another order.

The Trump administration wants to send anyone it wants, including U.S. citizens, to foreign prisons. Keeping Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is key to that lawless plan.
At Law Dork, I go through it all:
So knowing what we know about this administration, they rounded up a few people with no criminal backgrounds, no ties to any gang, and are going to send them to prison with no trial or due process.
Another court defeat for Trump White House
Judge rejects request for pause on order restoring access to Associated Press

Trump promised a Golden Age. Instead we’ve entered a #TrumpSlump:
-Consumer sentiment dropping precipitously
-Inflation expectations increasing
-Mortgage rates surging
All because of the whims of one man.
The Trump regime is working to deter dissent.
Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list.
This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts.
It's straight out of the fascist playbook.
I’m leading a letter with Rep. Terri Sewell and 131 colleagues demanding answers from the White House, USTR, Treasury, Commerce, and the SEC.
Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know?
$300B didn’t move by accident. This is market manipulation.
In less than one week, many Americans will no longer be able to apply for Social Security benefits over the phone, setting the stage for disruptions and upheaval.

Many of Trump’s top supporters who helped him win last year are now attacking him over his tariff policy, including Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Dave Portnoy, and Bill Ackman.
“We are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter.”
We're sorry to people everywhere whose lives are now more tenuous, more violent, less safe, less secure than they had been before.

Donald Trump has assembled the most inept and malevolent team of bootlickers, thugs, and sycophants in American history. The damage they’re doing will take a generation to reverse and that’s assuming we even get the chance.
Pundits are - in vain - looking to economics and politics when trying to explain Trump's behavior.

Go to visit Grandma? Upgrade the groceries?
JFC. This guy has gotta go.
What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?
