🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

McConnell's justices blocked Democratic efforts to add more teachers to our nation's schools today sadly.

Is the Republican president being misquoted? I read that "markets are going to boom, the stock market is going to boom and the country is going to boom."

He must have said "markets are going ka-boom, the stock market is going ka-boom, and the country is going ka-boom."

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

What a horrible President and human being.

Comic by Bill Bramhall in the NY Daily News.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to return the Maryland dad it abducted and deported to a notorious El Salvador mega-prison.

His wife, US citizen Jennifer Vasquez Sura, said she “hasn’t spoken to Abrego Garcia since he was flown to his native El Salvador last month and imprisoned. She urged her supporters to keep fighting for her husband ‘and all the Kilmars out there whose stories are still waiting to be heard.’”

"There will be blood" indeed.

As Trump golfs in Florida this weekend after destroying our economic future, we are in danger. Those of us already retired and relying on Social Security are watching Musk's minions potentially tank the payment system in their haste to speed up modernization of the payment technology. Those immediately behind us who expect to retire soon may have to work until they die because neither Social Security nor their retirement savings will be there. More than that, if we have a Depression, jobs will disappear (there are already far fewer jobs now for those of us educated and trained as professionals)... so yes, this is a dire warning. Let's all hope and pray it's wrong.

How many "mistakes" does President Musk and DOGE have to make? How much are are they costing us if an idiot wanker like RFK jr. says they're making mistakes it must be far worse than we know.

RFK Jr says 20% of Doge’s health agency job cuts were mistakes

Anyone who really cares about Palestinian human rights will have at the top of their list the absolute repudiation of Hamas as the reigning terrorist government of Gaza.

Leaving condemnation of Hamas out of one's discourse is addressing symptoms devoid of the root, suggesting sympathy with, and for, Hamas, which is anathema.

Protest freely for Palestinian rights, a noble cause, but failure to acknowledge existing threat to those rights under the Hamas terrorist regime negates validity.

@GottaLaff They hve already removed pictures of Jewish women graduates of the Naval Academy. This administration will begin to target Jews openly now.

Hey!

We know that Trump is officially an unlawful dictator, because the President of the United States is an officer of the law, and by the Constitution and his oath of office, he is not allowed to imprison people without due process.

No matter how popular or unpopular he is or becomes, it all comes down to this - unlawful imprisonment is illegal even for the President to do.

"For years, White House press conferences included sign language interpreters for the deaf.

No longer. Interpreters have been noticeably absent from Trump administration press briefings, advocacy groups say.

Gone, too, are the American Sign Language interpretations that used to appear on the White House’s YouTube channel. A White House webpage on accessibility, whitehouse.gov/accessibility, has also ceased working."

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is introducing a bill along with Rep. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) to stop Trump's "emergency tariffs" and give the tariff power back to Congress, where it belongs.

Grassley is the President Pro Tempore of the US Senate, it doesn't get more "senior leadership" than him, so what Trump has done today is so insane that it is sparking panic in the highest levels of his own party in Congress, and they realize they need to step in and stop this or be blamed for the failure.

The real genie of the lamp.
