For months, we've sought details about the shadowy deal the Trump Admin made with the Salvadoran govt to imprison people in the notorious CECOT prison — where they faced torture & other human rights abuses.
Yesterday, I got the official who signed the deal to publicly admit it for the first time.

Trump doesn't have this authority.
States are filling a void left by the federal government's failure to hold AI companies accountable.
But after those companies donated millions to Trump's campaign, his inauguration fund, and his ballroom, Trump is doing their bidding. This cannot stand.
We have our answer: 4 million.
Senate Republicans just voted to kick 4 million Americans off their health insurance to fund their tax cuts for billionaires & mega-corporations.
I agree with those who say we need to drastically reform the system, but this isn't reform, it's regression.
For months, the Trump Administration has sought to deny Kilmar Ábrego Garcia his rights to due process and fair treatment by our justice system.
Today’s ruling by Judge Xinis – requiring the government to immediately release him – is a forceful stand for our Constitution and all of our rights.
Tomorrow, the Senate will vote on an extension of ACA tax credits.
This vote boils down to one question: how many working people deserve to lose their health insurance to fund tax breaks for billionaires?
My answer: zero.
Tomorrow we will know Republicans’ answer.
Remember when Trump said that his tariffs might mean fewer toys for American kids? Or when he freaked out after Amazon said they might show the added costs from his tariffs on their site?
Yesterday, I reminded his top trade official of how these tariffs are a Trump Tax on everything we buy.
Yesterday, Trump authorized NVIDIA to sell advanced chips tech directly to China, undermining our strategic advantage, after they gave money to his inauguration fund, ballroom & more.
But this isn't the first time. Just last week, I called out a similar scheme Trump pulled with the UAE this summer.
These people are allergic to accountability.
Secretary Talk Show Host is now trying to throw others under the bus for the double-tap strike.
Pete Hegseth needs to be impeached.
MORE GRIFT. The Warner Bros. merger was already suspect, but now Trump’s family is getting in on the act.
Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, is part of Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount already had deep ties to the White House, now Trump's family will directly profit if they win.
The Supreme Court is signaling that it may hand more unchecked power over to Trump.
Allowing him to fire an FTC Commissioner would reverse 90 years of precedent and give the President the keys to currently non-partisan, independent agencies.
Still time to get it right. No Kings!
This week, Trump quietly released his National Security Strategy.
It totally abandons the idea that we should stand up for freedom & human rights around the world.
Instead, it lectures our European allies & embraces authoritarian leaders who enrich the Trump family & their billionaire friends.
The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.
Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.
Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.
Surprise, surprise: corrupt organization presents corrupt president with a "peace prize," because said president was sulking about not winning the actual Nobel Peace Prize.
Looks like FIFA is hoping to prove The Beatles wrong and buy love.
In Nov. 2024, Trump Jr. joined Unusual Machines, a drone maker, as an "advisor.” In October, they won a big contract from the Army.
On Dec. 3rd, Vulcan Elements, a start-up, got a $620 million loan from the DOD. You won't guess who invested back in August!
More grift. Trump's AI "Czar" — the guy in charge of this Administration's AI policy — is reported to have hundreds of investments in AI-related ventures.
This is just the latest example of the Trump Administration using its power to benefit themselves and their inner-sanctum of billionaires.

Thank you, Speaker Jones, for your historic leadership and tireless commitment to our state. It’s been an honor to work alongside you for so many years, and Maryland is stronger than ever because of your service.
Trump has been played over and over again by Putin.
From the summit in Alaska, to the 28-point plan that was a Trojan Horse for Putin's demands, to today — he has betrayed the cause of freedom in Ukraine.
We all want peace. He is prolonging the war and the suffering.
Trump's attacks against the Somali community are racist, vile, & predictable.
As prices rise & his popularity plummets, Trump is resorting to hate and division — hoping he can get you to blame your neighbors, so you'll forget about his failures.
Don't drink his poison.
Affordability isn't a 'con job.'
It means stopping corporate price gouging, preventing Wall Street from buying up homes, & stopping big pharma from padding its pockets when you get sick.
But for Trump, who uses his office to enrich himself & the billionaires, this is all probably very confusing.
