Millions Gathered Across America to Protest Trump in '50501 Protests'

Some of the events drew on the spirit of the Revolutionary War, calling for “no kings” and resistance to tyranny. Elsewhere, protests were planned outside Tesla car dealerships against billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk and his role in downsizing the federal government. Others organized more community service-oriented events such as food drives, teach-ins, and volunteering at local shelters.

Trump Admin Uses Non-Secure Google Drive to Share Classified Documents

The Trump Administration used Google Drive (worse than a private email server) to accidentally share confidential documents with thousands of unintended recipients.

• Government officials have improperly shared sensitive documents with thousands of federal workers, including potentially classified floor plans of the White House.,

• Employees at the General Services Administration, which provides administrative and technological support for much of the federal bureaucracy and manages the government’s real estate portfolio, were responsible for the oversharing, which spurred a cybersecurity incident report and investigation last week after employees inadvertently shared a Google Drive folder containing the sensitive documents with the entire GSA staff, which totals more than 11,200 people.

Petty Trump Social Post May Be Damning Court Evidence

A former federal prosecutor believes the White House’s social media activity could become an issue in court as it tries to avoid returning to the U.S. a man it mistakenly deported.

Joyce Vance, a former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama and current MSNBC contributor, says that the White House’s edit of a New York Times headline about the ongoing scandal is proof of contempt of court.

The original headline, which referenced Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s Thursday meeting with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, read, “Senator Meets With Wrongly Deported Maryland Man in El Salvador.” The White House, however, made edits in red so that it read, “Senator Meets with Deported MS-13 Illegal Alien in El Salvador Who’s Never Coming Back.”

Vance said it could be cited as representative of the White House’s motivations: “I suspect this is going to show up in a variety of court pleadings. Whoever thought this was cute at the time may be less giddy when this becomes evidence of intent to disobey a court order.”

Several judges are considering contempt charges against the Trump administration, and I pray that they all succeed.

Rapid Fire MAGA Insanity:

• RFK Jr. claims that autism was "worse than COVID", saying, “Autism affects children and affects them at the beginning of their lives, the beginning of their productivity,” RFK Jr. said. “It dwarfs the COVID epidemic and the impacts on our country because COVID killed old people.”

• The Trump administration did a terrible job photoshopping "MS-13" onto a picture of wrongfully deported dad Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s hand

• Elon Musk, a non-elected, foreigner, just had his appointed IRS Chief removed after 72 hours - the 5th IRS Chief in 2 months.

• Trump is using the DOJ to try and get out of paying the $83 million he owes her for denying her sexual abuse allegations, after it was proven that he was guilty of sexually assaulting her. A separate federal jury in 2023 found him liable for sexual abuse against Carroll and instructed him to pay her $5 million, but he has denied all of the allegations and appealed both cases.

• Pete Hegseth posted Yemen strikes in yeat ANOTHER Signal chat

• rump accused a reporter of being fake and claimed that prices are not rising. He said gas prices are $1.98 a gallon and said egg prices have fallen by 92%. I think he should be seriously checked for dementia. Especially if he thinks he's 6'3, 240lbs and has 4% bodyfat

• Trump crossed Schumer's "red line" by defying a Supreme Court ruling. We're still waiting on him to actually do something about it (Spoiler: he won't)
