“Some $380M is now in limbo after reductions in the federal workforce affected staff that run a program helping low-income people pay their energy bills.
LIHEAP helps ~6M people survive blistering summers & freezing winters, many whom face greater risks now that the year’s warm season has already brought unusually high temperatures.”

"ARE YOU JOKING? An immigration judge ordered a Venezuelan man sent to El Salvador on March 15 to be formally issued a deportation order under immigration laws for missing court.
He wouldn't have missed his court hearing🚨if Trump hadn't sent him to El Salvador!"
-A Reichlin-Melnick
Incompetence & the Trump regime's mass deportation crusade, jeopardize undocumented immigrants' lives💔.

"ALIEN ENEMIES ACT: The Trump admin filed an emergency motion to block Judge Boasberg’s initiation of contempt proceedings, saying his suggestion of forcing the admin to prosecute itself -or bring back deported Venezuelans -is unconstitutional.”
-K Cheney
The Trump admin is desperate to continue their mass #deportations. They want to remove whoever they want bc of their racist, "Great Replacement" agenda. The #courts are halting more of their actions."
"El Salvador didn’t allow a Senator to see inside their mega prison that’s wrongfully housing one of his state’s residents.
But they allow lots of influencers to film propaganda videos."
-S Hackett
"I just toured #CECOT -this max security fac houses the country’s most brutal criminals... Several inmates were extremely violent criminals recently deported from the US.
I leave now even more determined to support Pres Trump’s efforts to secure our homeland."

"Speaking in the Oval Office, Bukele
says🚨he's no intention to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US."
-SM Kim
"The question is preposterous," Bukele says.💔"I don't have the power to return him to the US."
Bukele, in 2023, already caused INTL concern: "The UN HR office expressed concern over the yr-long crackdown, noting widespread #humanrights violations, 1000s of unsubstantiated arrests & dozens of in-custody deaths."

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele has trumpeted the success of his gang crackdown during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly. He credits his administration’s will against international criticism over human rights violations. Bukele said that if El Salvador had listened to external critics, the tiny Central American country would again be the murder capital of the world. Instead, his domestically popular security policies have allowed Salvadorans to again walk their neighborhoods without fear and are leading to more investment in the country.
“I’m feeling moral shame: To watch the loss of your nation’s honor is embarrassing & painful.
It’s possible for ppl to seek power without having any vision of the good.”
“Obedience isn’t enough. Unless he’s suffering, how can you be sure that he’s obeying your will, & not his own? Power is in inflicting pain & humiliation.”
-G Orwell
Most of us are in accordance; those who aren’t, are either idiots or oligarchs, who’ll profit by the demise of America.

“Trump retreats from suggestion he'd bring wrongly-deported man back if courts require it, says all deportees in El Salvador🚨’in sole custody' of that country.”
-J Gerstein
The lawlessness & soullessness of Trump should shake the world, but many Republicans remain loyal. That says more about their souls than Trump’s, because he’s always been a sadist.
We’ll soon find out how dark the souls are of the GOP SCJs.

“If even the Daily Mail is running these kinds of HLs, it shows you how much the Trump admin is losing the PR war to try to convince the world that they didn’t massively screw up when they sent innocent people to El Salvador.”
-A Reichlin-Melnick
What’s really depraved is that Trump’s CAB & enablers gleefully laud Trump, esp Noem, Rubio, & Homan, for not just deporting these men to CECOT, but his willingness to send US citizens there.
