CARTOON OF THE DAY— throwback to 1975: Schoolhouse Rock’s “No More Kings”

Seems like a good day to revisit this gem. 🇺🇸

Barber: A would be king has ordered U.S. troops to occupy Los Angeles and parade down the streets of Washington DC. We are here to say that is not who we are

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant.

The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace.

Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable.

No one is above the law.

In the space of 48 hours, the President of the United States has tweeted an image of himself as the new pope, said he doesn’t know if he has to abide by the Constitution, cited multiple completely false statistics, and announced that he wants to reopen a prison closed in 1963.

Even if a no US citizen is ever deported to El Salvador, and no American citizen is ever stripped of their citizenship, the current government actions of deporting people to a foreign torture site without any process is an abomination.

Under the radical maga movement the US is becoming a complicit to the atrocities conducted by Russia. World will not forget!

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

I think today was an inflection point - maybe small, but real.

The President, having launched a global trade war, feted in the Oval Office a Central American dictator who runs a mega-prison known for starvation and torture - a prison to which our government has, by its own admission, sent at least one person "in error."

They disappeared a man without a single criminal charge who's lived and worked here for 15 years - who was alleged to be a member of a gang based in a state he never lived by one anonymous informant. No other evidence. No trial. No conviction. Nothing but a legal order that he not be deported to El Salvador, where he's now serving a life sentence.

The Supreme Court just ruled, without any noted dissent, that the government must facilitate the man's release.

But Trump and his dictator friend said no. They laughed. They mocked the journalist who asked whether they'd abide by the Court's order. The Attorney General, the Secretary of State, and the White House Deputy Chief all lied about the facts of the case. Then the President repeated his proposal to send American citizens to the dictator's prison, and asked him to build five more.

The same day we found out that the government knowingly disappeared a PhD student for nothing but an op-ed, a man's 19-year old son who agents admitted was the wrong kid, and a visa-holding Russian scientist at Harvard who forgot to declare frog embryos at the border.

But: it's all breaking through. It's getting more coverage. More people are paying attention. More elected Democrats are speaking up. More conservative pundits and legal scholars are speaking up. Even Joe Rogan thinks it's bullshit.

Now we have to keep pushing. This is much bigger than immigration or deportation policy - this is about whether we live in a free country or a police state. It's the whole ballgame.

As a @NavalAcademy⁩ parent, I’m disgusted they removed books abt the Holocaust (it’s not DEI, it’s history) & by Pulitzer-prize winning authors. It’s a profound act of moral cowardice, not leadership. https://t.co/ag26JSdMul

@SenAdamSchiff This is intolerable.

The Trump Administration’s response to sending the wrong man to a prison in El Salvador can be summed up in three words:

Lawless. Arrogant. Incompetent.

President Trump will remain in Florida and will not travel to Dover AFB for the dignified transfer of 4 American soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania. The LIV Golf tournament begins today. Trump just arrived at his golf club.
Defense Secretary Hegseth will travel to Dover Air Force Base mid-morning to participate in the dignified transfer of four U.S. soldiers who died last week in Lithuania.

The soldiers, who were all based with the Army's 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Georgia, have been identified as Sgt. Jose Duenez Jr., 25, of Joliet, Illinois; Sgt. Edvin F. Franco, 25, of Glendale, California; Pfc. Dante D. Taitano, 21, of Dededo, Guam; and Staff Sgt. Troy S. Knutson-Collins, 28, of Battle Creek, Michigan.

Here is how the government of Lithuania honored the 4 American soldiers in Vilnius yesterday.

World renowned left wing socialist, Ronald Reagan, on why tariffs are bad.

But don’t worry. He’s probably just suffering from TDS.
