He must do MUCH more, including apologizing for – and definitively retracting – decades of harmful lies.

Also, he continues to push unproven BS.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

With Deportations, Trump Steps Closer to Showdown With Judicial Branch “Oopsie … Too late,” El Salvador’s president said, mocking a court order that deportation flights to his country turn back to the United States. Top administration officials thanked him.

The Trump administration moved one large step closer to a constitutional showdown with the judicial branch of government when airplane-loads of Venezuelan detainees deplaned in El Salvador even though a federal judge had ordered that the planes reverse course and return the detainees to the U.S.

U.S. deports hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador, despite court order It was not clear if the deportations happened before a D.C. federal judge ordered the administration to stop using wartime powers to deport anyone immediately, and turn around any planes in the air.

When America Tried to Deport Its Radicals A hundred years ago, the Palmer Raids imperilled thousands of immigrants. Then a wily official got in the way.

Emma Goldman was deported along with another 600 anarchists, communists & socialists, while 10k+ more nationwide were rounded up in the Palmer Raids, 105 years ago during the First Red Scare and tbh idek which number Red Scare we're on now

The White House claims planes bearing migrants to El Salvador were in international waters off the Yucatán, so that’s why they ignored the court order to turn them around.

International waters, eh? Isn’t that the Gulf of *America* now?

Each new passing day reveals to us horrors beyond imagination committed by the dumbest, vilest, most selfish idiots among us. But getting your own wife deported and failing to acknowledge your role in that tragedy is a whole multiverse beyond the pale. What a weak man he is.

The Voice of America may not live up to its ambitious name for much longer.

Today staffers were told to stop working. Some were told to hand in badges. And contracts with other American-funded networks were cancelled. This is a massive purge. 🧵

He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center. ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a US citizen is 'at risk – period,' immigration attorney says.

This is a very sad story, but what makes me crazy is that people tried to explain that this is what would happen and got caricatured as "woke" hysterics www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

This at least twice in less than 48 hours the Trump Administration blatantly defied court orders not to deport someone.

Axios post on X: EXCLUSIVE: The White House says it ignored a court order to turn around two planeloads of alleged Venezuelan gang members because the flights were over international waters and therefore the ruling didn't apply, two senior officials tell @MarcACaputo.

This is outrageous. Judge Boasberg’s order went against government agencies which were in the US, and which were in direct contact with the plane. He must hold them in contempt of court.

Only 6.6% of countries are full democracies. Canada is one of them.

That's something to be proud of. Something worth fighting for.

*Data comes from a division of The Economist. The report is interesting reading if you're worried about the state of modern politics.
