Why the hell didn't Merrick Garland do anything with the files when he had them?!?!

And did anyone in the press point out to him that this is impossible? No? Got it. (We know his staff didn't)
Also, notice that Putin's red carpet went right up to the airplane steps. Trump walked 50 yards on bare tarmac to get to his. Telling.
“Did not show Epstein’s cell or even the stairway”
What an extraordinarily naive article! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
There was a flurry of news about tariffs. It passed. The real consequences will hit US consumers around Memorial Day. Important then to remind everyone of cause and effect.
"I believe"... meaning he has no clue what Trump is talking about.
That's an insult to fast food workers.
Dear #GOP You are running out of time to decide if you take him down or he is the concrete shoes that drown you. Thanks, Sane America
Your reminder that although the attention on Kilmar Abrego Garcia is important, all of the men sent to the CECOT concentration camp in El Salvador were sent there for life sentences without due process. All of them need to be brought back and afforded their rights to due process. ALL OF THEM.
Unfortunately though Chris the people that need to hear it are not watching your show, they're watching Fox et al.
And yet they're being treated as such, by everyone
Chotiner is a legitimately good journalist but it’s wild that people think he’s some sort of evil wizard because he says “what do you mean by that”
It's funny how when you ask them why they think Pope Francis was "too woke" and request specific examples, they always wound up describing Christ's teachings without a hint of self-awareness.
Agree. But the man in the picture is not him.

"The Savior"!!!
I think it important that we recognize while no President has had a more disastrous start to his term, no Vice President has either.
I guess Merrick Garland didn’t realize spending a good part of his day lying on cable news was an option.
It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”
How about you get out on the road like AOC and Bernie and actually do something!
If 90% of the people kidnapped and rendered to a Salvadorian gulag don't have criminal records, then surely there are more Abrego Garcia's...
I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do
It feels like both parties want to divide us, but people from across the political spectrum that I hear from agree on a few things like: ✅Banning congressional stock trading ✅Banning dark money in politics ✅Rooting out political corruption ✅Bringing jobs to America
No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.
Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions
Question. Why isn’t each and every reporter who interviews Peter Navarro grilling him about his made up source, Ron Vara?
Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

Does everyone know how hard it is to bankrupt a damn casino!!!!
Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.
Reminder no. 871: Congress can stop this insanity any time it so chooses. Under the Constitution, *Congress*, not the President, has the power to tax and to impose tariffs. They gave it away. They can take it back. Call your Congress reps, especially if they are GOP. Tell them: ENOUGH!
What happened to ole Vivek Ramaswamy? I thought he was going to be a big deal?
A rising tide lifts all boats, which is great for those who have one.
How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.
That summarizes. youtu.be/avEtMcELaPU?...
Bingo
“Before you tell me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat other people. Before you tell me how much you love your country, show me how much you do for others. Before you tell me what you value, show me how you live and give.” - Cory Booker
So let me get this straight—Trump hit places with NO people and NO trade with the U.S. with tariffs… and it’s literally just penguins out there? PENGUINS???
well republicans, youve tied yourself to an asshole that everyone in america hates and you cant distance yourself from him or else he’ll fully fund a primary campaign against you so i dunno, good luck with that
Here’s an update on the guy in charge of finding fraud in our government.
Haha! Yes!
Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored
And folks, I agree with y’all who are saying the Trump third term chatter is useful as a distraction from Signalgate, but it’s also serious in itself. Trump has been openly talking about this for a while. He’s serious. We have to pay attention to multiple things at once. It’s not going away.
The Signalgate “idiot” who caused — and is now investigating — the scandal reportedly hosted multiple chats about national security on the app. You can’t make this shit up. 🙄
And already: Signalgate gone from the front pages
Just drop it already! He can't, and he's only saying it to distract people from the shit that's happening RIGHT NOW!
countdown to his mommy logging on and scolding everyone for being mean to her special special middle-aged boy
Exactly this. It will be a shit show to try and rewrite this in 2 months
You just need to look at Hegseth's Venmo transcript to see
By "may not" you mean "WILL not" hopefully
Nuttin to see here
There's also the fact that she perjured herself in her confirmation hearings
Elise Stefanik is not free to pursue her dreams, her needs or her own desires in career. She has allowed herself to become a puppet and serve a hateful greedy old man. Welcome home, Elise.
Hey Kash and Bongino: now that you've had a chance to review the FBI files on DJTs stolen classified info, still think the raid on MAL was "tyranny", as you put it? #FBI
Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?
Remember when unmarked paramilitaries rounded people up in Lafayette square prior to upside-down biblegate? How much we've forgotten...
Would NATO Article 5 go into effect if a member country attacks another? Like US vs Denmark or Canada for example? Hmm.... #NATO
Let's see if he follows through with it, or if he will bend to orange pressure
Wow
Semantics. "War plans" or "attack plans" are just semantics. Posting targeting sequences, weapons used, timelines, etc: doesn't matter what you call them they are highly sensitive bits of information that shouldn't be bandied about outside secure channels. C'mon people!!
Waltz explanation tonight: "We had all the top brains of the Trump foreign policy team assembled - and every single one of us was outsmarted by a reporter who used the sneaky tactic of accepting a group chat invitation from me addressed to the reporter's name and phone number."
This is so good! 👊🇺🇸🔥
Sen. Margaret Chase Smith “recognized the damage McCarthy and his ilk were doing to the nation” in 1950, @hcrichardson.bsky.social recalls. She posts this 1950 quote from her: "I want to see our nation recapture the strength and unity it once had when we fought the enemy instead of ourselves" [1/2]
If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?
100% Everyone on that thread!
If Dems fail to make Signal leak an incessant story demanding resignations/impeachment, it would be a mirror image of Benghazi, her emails, etc. In face of GOP zone-flooding, Dems cowered instead of calling bullshit; now when GOP says Signal leak is NBD, a failure to push back would be catastrophic.
Seven Reasons Trump's Entire National Security Team Should Resign in Disgrace www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/25/s...
The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:
Swalwell: Hegseth is still the Secretary of Defense? This moron texts out our war plans, putting our soldiers at risk, and he’s not gone? Every one on that chat—they just fire off texts not knowing who is on the chat? They all should be fired if they don’t resign.
The job of Democrats is so clear right now: It's to do everything possible in the next 48 hours to keep the Atlantic story front-burner and make people understand the issues and the stakes. It couldn't be a simpler test of who gets it and who doesn't.
If this is the kind of shit they are doing out in the open I can’t even imagine the level of depravity done in secret.
Lest we forget, Hegseth had his Venmo set to public until reporters called him out: prospect.org/politics/202...
Don’t want to alarm anyone, but Pete Hegseth just sent me a blurry map of Greenland hand-drawn on the back of a wet cocktail napkin.
Maybe we shouldn't have deleted those Navajo Code Talkers from the Defense Department after all.
In 2027, we will find out in the pages of RUIN that Bob Woodward was on that Signal chain too.
... and I'm going to shake my fist a little and move on with my day. Come on Democrats get aggressive!!!
There's a MAGA joke here somewhere
Everyone should see this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8OF...
Can anyone really tell me that no big strong man, tears in his eyes, has gone to Trump and said "mate, tariffs don't work the way you think they do"?
EVERYONE wants this to end. But Putin and Trump want Ukraine to give up sovereign territory, everyone else does not.
Does he not realize that if Canada becomes a US state any chance the Republicans have of winning an election will disappear? Not many Canadians will vote Republican.
