U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has made an appearance at the Final Four championship game, despite fans claiming that when the Texas senator attends the game for the team he is rooting for, they are "cursed" and lose the game.

We welcome President Trump's decision to exclude oil and natural gas from new tariffs, underscoring the complexity of integrated global energy markets and the importance of America's role as a net energy exporter. We will continue working with the Trump administration on trade policies that support American energy dominance.

The Trump administration knowingly deported a Maryland father with legal protection from removal—sending him to El Salvador’s megaprison.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia:

– Came to the U.S. at 16 after fleeing gang death threats

– In 2019, an immigration judge granted him withholding of removal, a legal status protecting him from deportation after finding he’d likely be persecuted if returned

– No U.S. criminal record

– Married to a U.S. citizen, father to a 5-year-old disabled son

– Regularly complied with ICE check-ins

– ICE admitted it knew he had legal protection—but put him on the deportation flight anyway

– Not on the manifest—added as an “alternate”

– Now held in a prison for gang members, despite no charges or verified gang affiliation

The government now argues U.S. courts can’t order his return.

His wife recognized him in a propaganda photo released by El Salvador’s president—head forced down, frog-marched by masked guards.

ICE calls it an “administrative error.”

Then says it was done “in good faith.”

The Press Secretary is lying. These migrants came legally and paid for their own flights. They had American sponsors and fled socialist dictatorships and chaos.

@PressSec is welcome to start telling the truth anytime.

Trading Luka lowered the ceiling, now with this, the floor has collapsed into the basement. Fuck Nico. Fuck Dumont. Fuck everyone that was in on that trade. Fuck you forever. Gutted for Kyrie and the players.

Just infuriating. Make any "not our problem" argument you want, but these are potentially millions of real parents, children, and siblings who will needlessly die.

And before you say "we can't afford it," its around 0.1% of spending and its already been paid for. We and our European allies can afford it if we wish, these impoverished nations cannot.

So say whatever you want - "not our problem," "we can't afford it," "Bill Gates should pay," "who cares about black kids in Africa" - but understand that these are real people with real families who will die to save the American taxpayer no money now and maybe a couple bucks down the road. Put down the tribalist snark and try to find an ounce of humanity.

When your favorite Texas politician reposts Travis’ letter from the Alamo today about the 1836 Mexican attack on that San Antonio mission, ask them whether Russia attacked Ukraine.

There's just no reason to believe that anything these DOGE guys say or do is accurate or well thought through in the first place.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Now, instead of spreading baseless rumors, let's get back to the basics, that is, Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, who said, "I was a stranger and you did not welcome me" (Mt 25).

Every Latino should remember the utter disrespect shown people from south of the border. No compassion, no sympathy, no respect for families. “Poisoning the blood of the nation.” Who talks like that?
