The Fourth Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals rejected Donald Trump's administration and the DOJ's appeal to stay Judge Xinis' order in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case to facilitate his return. bsky.app/profile/artcandee.bsky.social/post/3lmzvxzde4c2u"We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision." |

Spoiler for TW The shooter is a 20 year old who's mom is a county sheriff's deputy. Sounds like he used her previous service weapon and used to be part of a youth program with the sheriff's dept
2 dead, 5 injured, shooter is also injured after being shot by police |

So I’m getting serious about saving money and cutting costs as much as possible while still having some joy in life. Does anyone have any recs for podcasts or books that they really like? Nit looking to follow or get into the market, just looking for tips or common sense ideas that may not occur to me.

I’m so upset about the autism comment and now people jumping on the bandwagon about vaccines. Fuck all of them.
My 18 year old DS is smarter and more talented than all of them. While I’m not sure he will ever live alone, he will hold a job and be a member of society. He’s a straight A student and starting a good college in the fall. Yes, he’s quirky and has a hard time making friends. But he’s awesome.

Hfs. I did not expect this. Thank you Sen Van Hollen for applying the pressure. Now let's keep it up and get him home. "I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return."  bsky.app/profile/vanhollen.senate.gov/post/3ln2gcpf6js2m |

I’m so glad to be wrong about this. I still feel like he’s not coming back but I’m so glad there’s hope now.

Credit to Senator Van Hollen for getting this far. I hope he stays in El Salvador until Kilmar is released into US custody, then stays by his side until he is home with his family.

They updated the official White House website about COVID to say its origin came from a lab leak and that Fauci covered up its true origin…..

It's ridiculous and infuriating, such blatant disinformation. But I'm also kind of chuckling* because the graphic they're using makes Trump look like he's the lab leak.  *I have to find the funny where I can during this bleak time |

So the official twitter account of the White House posted this:  I hope this is used against them in court to show that they are not at all facilitating his return, as ordered by SCOTUS. |

Oh thank freaking gods for Van Hollen. I need more to be like him.
Honestly, I hope for Kilmar's sake that he and his family are able to move somewhere that *isn't* the US if that's something they want. It's clearly not safe here for them.

Their Twitter account is going off the rails. They also posted this. I’ve never seen a human being using as a piece of political propaganda as blatantly as they are using this woman right now. Did you know they also brought her out for a press conference with Karoline Leavitt the other day? Her. Story. Is. Not. Kilmar. They are not the same for a REASON. Her story does not excuse what is happening to Kilmar. I did appreciate some of the comments on that post, like TFG is the only convicted criminal in those photos. |

I was very comforted listening to the pod save America episode today. Jon and Dan spoke all the rage I’m feeling. And actually called it a Constitutional Crisis, which I’ve been screaming to hear from anyone the last few days.

He posted an "apology" on FB I love the comment section of his “apology”. Nobody is buying his CYA statement. Also just read a previous post on his FB page that his mom was a librarian. |
