White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt decided that her best course of action was to mock a judge's ruling last week that instructed the Trump administration to immediately retrieve the innocent man that they sent to the prison in El Salvador. Leavitt claimed that the judge didn't have jurisdiction over El Salvador, which was not only rude but incredibly ignorant. In response, the judge issued a scathing ruling over the weekend demanding the immediate return of the man. 

Donald Trump's MAGA fan base has finally realized that Elon Musk is nothing more than a liar. And they figured it out in a fairly clever way. In a post on social media, a MAGA activist openly asked why there had been no arrests made if DOGE had actually found all of the fraud that they claim to have found. It is a very valid question that people should have been asking for months, and it is a bit ironic that it was put out there by MAGA to prove that Elon is lying.

Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared to know that the stock market was about to crash, as just days before the market meltdown she pulled hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the market and invested in treasury bills instead. This move came just a few days before Donald Trump's "Liberation Day," which resulted in tariffs across the globe that tanked the markets. Millions of people lost millions of dollars, but not Marge - it was almost as if she knew something bad was going to happen.

Donald Trump told reporters over the weekend that he "loves" the idea of sending Americans to the torture prison in El Salvador. This can't be dismissed as an offhand comment, either, because this isn't the first time he has said it. In fact, Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted weeks ago that he discussed the idea with the leader of El Salvador after Trump first mentioned it. This is where Trump would like to send political dissidents, including those that are protesting Tesla right now, as Farron explains.
