HOLY SHIT! JD Vance, Donald Trump, Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller in attendance at the No Kings rally in DC

In the days before the #Trump admin deported hundreds of #Venezuelan immigrants to #CECOT, a notorious prison in #ElSalvador, the president of that country demanded something: the return of 9 MS13 gang leaders in US custody.
Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, in a March 13 phone call with Salvadoran President Nayib #Bukele, promised the request would be fulfilled….But there was one obstacle: Some of the MS-13 members Bukele wanted were “#informants” under the #protection of the US govt, Rubio told him.

We went to #NoKings with my mother-in-law. Her father was in a Nazi prison camp as a resister, & survived. She & her husband escaped Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, traveled by ship from Germany to NY as refugees. Arrived in NY harbor in the morning fog, which lifted to reveal, the Statue of Liberty. 🇺🇸

6. Speaking of stupid things with predictable results. Buying $20B of Argentinian pesos is the height of economic stupidity. Stable exchange rates and low inflation is not really what Argentina is known for. But Stupid's gonna keep stupiding. nytimes.com/2025/10/17/us/poli

When you hear or read anything from Trump and his apparatchiks, you shouldn't merely suspect that it might not be true.

You should assume that it's a lie.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson
“you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing.

If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed,
and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”
