I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
NEW: Fourth Circuit shoots down the Trump administration’s efforts to appeal Judge Xinis’s order requiring it to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
“We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision.”
Important for all of us but especially journalists.
I needed to hear this. Maybe you do too.
“Fear has a way of being contagious… courage is also contagious.” — Kamala Harris
Man, I miss her.
Tomorrow morning should be entertaining.
"At about 9am EDT Wed., Tesla will report how many vehicles it delivered during 2025’s first three months, a crucial proxy for how the company performed during the period ahead of Tesla’s earnings report later this month."

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
Sanders: I'm not a mathematician but I do know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1%. I do know that if we stand together, we are the vast majority of people. We can defeat trumpism
AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together
Have FUN!!!!!

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...
Math is hard
Have you not noticed that Musk lies as much as Trump?
This is an administration of liars & con men.
Whatever they say is a lie.
Never believe anything they say.
Remember to prepare for the increasingly higher probability of an economic recession.
One of the attorneys who just resigned instead of taking Trump's corrupt order to dismiss charges against Eric Adams - a Bronze Star veteran - wrote a letter that should echo through history.
If this doesn't make you mad, then you are on the wrong side of history.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
Query: If “DEI” is the reason for the plane collision, why is this the first accident in [checks watch] 16 years? 🤔
The federal shut down feels eerily familiar to when Elon & co took over Twitter. They came in, asked no questions, had no idea who did what and it was absolute chaos. That was a social media platform. This is the country. People are going to die because these are incompetent cruel bullies.
Last night of light
Here we are, again
Between the shutdown, the drones, and them perp walking Luigi like he’s the goddamn Joker, I think it’s clear the writers are officially out of ideas and are just grabbing whatever was left in the cutting room floor.
Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill. Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.
The new bill takes out the money for pediatric cancer research
RE: the GOP bill- setting aside the debt limit, looking at what came out I doubt overall cost changed much.
One big change: they removed rules to limit American investments in China- which would benefit Tesla and Elon.
His endorsing suggests the true priority was not the former, but the latter.
I’m curious how much federal funding he thinks the ACLU receives (it’s none).
Look at all the entitlement from these people that want to remove something that benefits a huge amount of people just because it doesn't do anything for them, and then say that the people that benefit from it are entitled.
Hey MAGA,
You now have the WH, the House, the Senate, and SCOTUS…
That means YOUR party is responsible for every problem in America now.
If gas isn’t $1.50. If eggs aren’t $1 a carton. If inflation doesn’t plummet…
We’ll be waiting to remind you that you were conned a SECOND time.
-All of us.
Such brazen corruption happening right out in the open. Welcome to the oligarchy.
