The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

A post from Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren
) on X reads: "I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you."

What RFK Jr. said was reprehensible. He should be ashamed of himself and step down.

Donald Trump doesn’t hire on merit he hires only based on loyalty. He does not give a fuck if you suck at your job. All he cares about his having people loyal to him and it puts our nation in grave danger

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

The Trump administration continues to unload on Judge Boasberg in a new filing asking him to stay his order for more info on flights to El Salvador.

They say they may invoke state secrets privilege to deny him information. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The person the White House says is leading DOGE has also been working at HHS The acknowledgment raises new questions about DOGE’s chain of command.

NEW: The public acknowledgement that DOGE’s “administrator” Amy Gleason has been working a second job at HHS since February raises new questions about what the Trump admin has been saying — and telling courts — about who is in charge.

It’s hard to square the White House’s claim that Gleason is the leader of DOGE — rather than Musk — when she is dual hatted and was initially detailed to HHS in February.

Gleason filed a sworn affidavit last week that didn’t mention her HHS employment.

The Republican War On Teachers | Robert Reich
The Republican War On Teachers | Robert Reich Republicans aren’t afraid of “Critical Race Theory,” they are afraid of critical thinking. They know the biggest threat facing their party is a new multi-racial generation of young people unafraid to speak truth to power. That’s why they are waging a war on America’s teachers. Watch more: The Real Motive Behind the GOP's “Culture War” ►► https://youtu.be/_-nO8cBD79k

Gutting the Dept. of Education would be devastating to our nation's students — and our teachers.

MAGA Republicans have been waging a war on public school teachers for years.

They want public schools to fail so they can pour the money into private, for-profit schools.

"Is that really how you think this works? They can say one thing in public and then come to court and say something different?"

NATO needs to premptively expel the US and add nations (Austria, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand, Brazil?). Nothing would irk Trump more than being shunned by the smart kids yet again.
