β€œindependent of any judicial review,” does that sound familiar? because that’s exactly what’s happened here. Donny’s storm troopers rounded up a bunch of immigrants on the flimsiest of pretexts, deemed them criminal gang members because they had tattoos, and disappeared them into a slave-labor concentration camp.

look, these people could be guilty as fuck of all the crimes. they could all be just as dangerous as Donny keeps swearing to us they are. it doesn’t matter β€” because this is the United Fucking States of America and we have a Constitution that says you have to prove that shit in a court of law. no ifs, ands or buts.

it’s called due fucking process.

you say they’re guilty of crimes? prove it. put them on trial. show us your evidence. let a jury render a verdict.

come on, this isn’t rocket science. even this meathead gets it. listen to Joe Fucking Rogan β€” of all people! β€” explain why due process is important.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

At some point, Pete Hegseth is going to lose his job. And when that occurs, Donald Trump should get absolutely no credit for it. He knew this would happen the moment he nominated Hegseth. Donald Trump owns every bit of this mess.

Democrat removed as House chamber erupts into chaos during Trump speech Mike Johnson removed House Democrat Al Green from the chamber after disruptions during President Trump's speech on Tuesday.

Mike Johnson forcibly removed @algreen.house.gov from the House chamber via the Sergeant at Arms after repeated disruptions during Trump's #SOTU speech tonight.

Early in Trump's remarks, Democrats repeatedly interrupted him, with Green standing and shouting that Trump had no mandate.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his β€œbalanced budget” point.

The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their β€œno cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.

Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

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?

Trump's comment during his address that DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight" has already landed in federal court.

"If the GOP could pull Trump’s dick out of their mouths long enough for the oxygen to return to their brains, they might see how batshit crazy it is to run a govt like this... But that would require a spine and these Republicans have the collective courage of a baby deer caught in a 6-lane highway."

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

In addition to being illegal, unconstitutional and wrong, Trump's lawlessness is also an extraordinary abuse of power as we the people have to pay his legal bills and ultimately for the damages his harms will bring. He is legally and financially liable for nothing. Break laws, get sued, we pay.

Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. He lied.

2 out of every 5 births in this country are covered by Medicaid....

Don't Cut My Medicaid

The idea is that more junior appointees are less likely to have the confidence to draw a line in the sand regarding the kind of orders they will follow.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Canada supplies over 4 million barrels of deeply discounted oil per day to the USA.
Reality: The USA does not "subsidize" Canada, Canada subsidizes the USA.

Canada supplies over 4 million barrels of deeply discounted oil per day to the USA. Reality: The USA does not "subsidize" Canada, Canada subsidizes the USA.

If you take Canadian oil out of the equation, Canada actually has a trade deficit, and the U.S. has a surplus β€” of $58 billion.
We supply cheap oil to the USA to ensure North American energy independence, so North America can never again be held hostage by OPEC countries.
