"Home-growns are next": Trump tells El Salvador president to build more jails for US citizens
Oh, no big deal. Just the president of the United States publicly boasting about wildly unconstitutional plans to send US CITIZENS to Salvadoran gulags. But wait, there's (always) more! Attorney General and MAGA sycophant Pam Bondi refused to say whether the wannabe dictator's batshit crazy plans were legal during a softball interview with Jesse Watters on Fox News, suggesting the Dept. of Justice may very well green light Donald's dystopian scheme. They aren't even trying to hide or sugar-coat their fascism, folks.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Marjorie Taylor Greene caught in potential felony scandal
The QAnon dolt from Georgia seems to have put herself in quite the legal pickle, investing in 17 different companies whose stocks had fallen sharply in the aftermath of Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff stunt. Greene made her very curious market moves on April 8 and 9, just hours before the MAGA cult leader announced his ballyhooed tariff "pause," sending stock prices predictably soaring. It's called insider trading for a reason, and it's very illegal.

Marine veteran answers call to resist Trump
JoAnna Mendoza for Congress: JoAnna Mendoza served our country for twenty years as a drill sergeant in the United States Marines, training the brave men and women who defend our country overseas, and now she’s ready to defend our nation from Donald Trump’s extremism in the halls of Congress. As a lifelong public servant, JoAnna refuses to sit idly by while Donald Trump and Elon dismantle the systems that provide for our veterans after their service and send countless more vets to the unemployment line with their gutting of the federal government. Will you chip in to help Joanna flip this winnable red seat and take back control of Congress from the GOP?
Trump regime freezes more than $2 billion in grants to Harvard after university refuses White House dictates
The Trump administration's attempt to force Harvard University to bend the proverbial knee and abide by its new world order was summarily rejected by university officials, prompting the White House to freeze more than $2 billion in grants for the prestigious Ivy League institution. In a letter to the school's leadership team, Trump's goons demanded Harvard "make meaningful governance reform and restructuring," end its "preferences based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin" in the hiring and admissions processes, reject international "students hostile to the American values and institutions," commission a third party to audit the university, and ensure "viewpoint diversity" across admissions and hiring. Trump also demanded an end to the university's DEI initiatives and slapped an August 2025 deadline for all changes to be implemented. In response, Harvard President Alan Garber released a statement recognizing the importance of the grants, which he said have "led to groundbreaking innovations across a wide range of medical, engineering, and scientific fields." However, Garber claimed that the university would not compromise its First Amendment right for them. He continued, "For the government to retreat from these partnerships now risks not only the health and well-being of millions of individuals but also the economic security and vitality of our nation. Although some of the demands outlined by the government are aimed at combating antisemitism, the majority represent direct governmental regulation of the 'intellectual conditions' at Harvard."

ICE sent a random nineteen-year-old with no criminal record and wasn't even a target to Salvadoran gulag
Trump's ICE henchmen kidnapped a random Venezuelan kid, Merwil Gutiérrez, from his apartment building in the Bronx and sent him to one of the world's most terrifying prisons for no reason whatsoever. "The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One [officer] said, 'No, he’s not the one,' like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, 'Take him anyway,'" recounted the boy's stunned father, Wilmer. The impunity and cruelty of the Trump administration's immigration police are turning the lives of innocent people into dystopian nightmares, and every one of these fascist goons need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law after this is all over.

JD Vance mocked for fumbling Ohio State's national championship trophy at White House ceremony
During yesterday's televised White House ceremony, JD "He Ain't From Here" Vance fumbled the Ohio State Buckeyes' national championship trophy harder than a trip to Greenland — while an indifferent Donald Trump AND the entire squad looked on in muted amusement. Predictably mocked online throughout the day, Vance attempted to join in the "fun," tweeting: "I didn't want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy so I decided to break it." Is that, like, a metaphor for how the administration is handling the country or something? Any chance there's still time to call an audible? Ha ha. Ha ha ha... ha ha?
Trump administration tells US citizen to self-deport
When we call it fascism, this is exactly what we mean. And for the painfully obvious record, US citizens cannot "self-deport." They're already "home."

Proven winner Chris Pappas announces bid to keep crucial New Hampshire Senate seat blue
Chris Pappas for Senate: Now that Senator Shaheen is retiring, Chris Pappas is aiming to make history by becoming the first openly gay man elected to the U.S. Senate and keep a vitally important Senate seat in Democratic hands. Rep. Chris Pappas has served New Hampshire for 20 years and has a proven track record of taking on the big fights– from battling Big Pharma to lowering drug prices to facing off with predatory companies that target veterans — while winning election after election in one of the swingiest districts in the country. If we're to have any chance of derailing Trump's appalling agenda of cruelty, chaos, and corruption, we need to retake the Senate, we need to protect this must-win seat from whichever MAGA extremist tries to snatch it away. Will you help jump-start Chris Pappas' campaign with a donation?
"I don't know what’s in his head": Republican senator says Trump "has not given one clear rationale" for tariffs
Nevertheless, the GOP persisted, breathlessly enabling the autocratic wrecking ball and his campaign of perpetual chaos.
Palestinian Columbia student arrested by ICE at his citizenship interview
Mohsen K. Mahdawi arrived at the US Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Colchester, Vermont, on Monday. A Palestinian student at Columbia University, he hoped that, after 10 years in the country, he would pass the test to become a naturalized citizen. Instead, ICE agents arrested him and began the process to deport him to the occupied West Bank. Mahdawi, a leader of the campus protest movement against Israel’s war on Gaza, became yet another green card holder arrested and facing removal. "Mohsen Mahdawi was unlawfully detained today for no reason other than his Palestinian identity," Mahdawi’s attorney Luna Droubi said in a statement to The Intercept. "He came to this country hoping to be free to speak out about the atrocities he has witnessed, only to be punished for such speech."
Trump blames Zelenskyy for starting Putin's war one day after massive Russian attack kills dozens in Ukraine
The MAGA cult leader simply cannot get it through his worm-addled skull that Ukraine was invaded by Vladimir Putin's Russian forces more than three years ago and continues to falsely blame Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for starting the brutal war, including on Monday, one day after a massive Russian attack killed 35 people and injured 117 others in Ukraine. "You don't start a war against someone 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles," Trump told reporters at the White House, betraying his fundamental disconnect with reality. While Donald said Putin also shared some of the blame for "millions of people dead" in the conflict, his shocking inability to separate fact from Kremlin-fueled fiction in beyond troubling. Any chance we can get a public redo on that cognitive test he "aced" last week?
