10.9 million people would lose health insurance under Trump’s megabill, CBO projects - STAT

Reminder: DOGE was never about "efficiency."

UNBELIEVABLE! Trump permits sale of device that allows standard firearms to fire like machine guns. Since the forced reset trigger devices will not be considered firearms, they can be purchased anonymously, w/o a background or age check. PASS IT ON, OFF BSKY, TOO! www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Excellent piece on Miller on habeas. Far superior to the surprisingly both-sides-ish coverage by some media. What Miller is claiming the power to do isn’t questionable or dubious. It would be anti-constitutional usurpation. www.stevevladeck.com/p/148-suspen...

After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza (1/5)

Removing victims’ photos from an ATF memorial doesn’t stop gun violence. Eliminating school mental health grants doesn’t stop gun violence. Stripping CVI funding from communities doesn’t stop gun violence, nor does gutting Medicaid. We will continue to fight against these harmful policies.

And Don’t Forget The Pentagon Has Failed Its Last 7 Audits….

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.

“Over the past two fiscal years, the unit’s investigations and prosecutions have netted more than $2 billion in proceeds seized and forfeited from criminal networks” Trump and Musk are shutting down an office that brings in 4X its budget and prosecutes organized crime and human trafficking.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

All Of This! The Constitution Says This Is Illegal!

Yesterday, 56 years to the day one of the best men to ever live, Fred Rogers, defended public broadcasting, his legacy was trampled by one of the most vile people to ever hold public office — Donald Trump.

Good Night World

This is how you accurately write a headline. Rolling Stone gets it.

Nothing good comes from this regime. This is active harm. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Look at this sweet, innocent baby —small, scared, utterly alone in a courtroom. No lawyer. No protection. No justice. Trump cut legal aid for migrant children, tearing away their last lifeline. They say they care about families. But this? This is sanctioned cruelty. @myvoicemychoice.bsky.social

Just imagine if Joe Biden had officially declared the January 6 insurrectionists were terrorists and threatened to send them to jail in El Salvador Started arresting the Steve Bannons and Tucker Carlsons of the world for criticizing this And sued Fox News to keep Hannity from talking about it

Elon Musk’s staffers are trying to push into the National Gallery of Art. They recently met with the museum’s director and legal team, to question its legal status and explore ways to assert influence. One of the nation’s most respected art institutions is now in their crosshairs.

How did I know they would completely defund Headstart? They wrote it down in Project 2025 .

This is who we are now?!

Trump's Department of Homeland Security has sent a letter to Harvard threatening to revoke its eligibility to enroll international students unless it submits information on international students' disciplinary records and protest participation.

MAJOR SCOOP: The local detective who first accused Mr. Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-31 was suspended from the police force and indicted merely WEEKS LATER for providing confidential information to a sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.

Trump, who (falsely) claimed during his election campaign that Biden wasn't doing ENOUGH to assist with NC's hurricane recovery....wait for it....just revoked Biden's Dec 2024 hurricane clean-up reimbursement agreement. #ncpol ncnewsline.com/2025/04/12/f...

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

If it can happen in northwest Missouri, it can happen anywhere…

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

File impeachment articles that are just direct quotes from the Declaration of Independence

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

I do not think it is a coincidence that Trump and Karoline Leavitt are both floating the “US Citizens sent to El Salvador” a few days after massive, distributed anti-Trump protests. It is a threat, and we need to be louder and angrier than ever before on behalf of everyone who has been sent.

this is straightforwardly concentration camp stuff. just in very plain terms: we send people to camps now if we, the government, deem it necessary, without due process. you can file a habeas petition in the united states district court with jurisdiction over el salvador, i guess.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

🚨Read this letter from the school principal in Sackets Harbor, NY. 3 of her students have been snatched by ICE (incl. a 3rd grader handcuffed & put in a detention center). Then watch the video below. AOC predicted EXACTLY what is now happening. This is terrifying. @aoc.bsky.social

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote: Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout? Republicans said no.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

"The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."

Dr. Richard Youle was fired today. He is an eminent scientist who has done important work on brain diseases like dementia and Parkinson’s. Musk and Trump are stopping NIH research into cures, for diseases from cancer to Alzheimer’s. Americans did not vote for this.

Thank you, Senator Booker!!! Job well done, sir! Thank you for standing up for the American people and our democracy! #GoodTrouble

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is being decimated right now. Mass layoffs happening across agencies (NIH, FDA, CDC etc). Some employees found out by security badge being denied. Others got email. Line outside Health Resources and Services Administration this AM shared with me:

‘“The loss of this [#NIH] research could very well result in a resurgence of HIV that becomes more generalized in this country,” said Julia Marcus, a professor at Harvard Medical School.’ Trump is killing biomedical research and increasing disease. 1/2

What did 14 years of autocratic populism produce in Hungary? Poverty and corruption www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

And this is why Due Process is required so people can challenge their designation and the govt shd *welcome* shouldering its burden to establish that it’s right.

It's important to understand: this is fascism. What Stephen Miller is saying here, is straight-up fascism. Conflating the mere existence of other races near you, to an army invading and taking over your community, is literally the rhetoric Hitler used to justify his actions.

Studying in the United States was a life goal for many people around the world. But that was before the United States became a place that ejects students because Marco Rubio didn't like a tweet.

“DOGE won’t just fall short of Musk’s deficit-reduction goals. It will, in all probability, increase the deficit,” Jonathan Chait writes. Are the deficit-reduction efforts just a pretext for ideological warfare?

NEW: Per a source with knowledge, the entire HHS Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy, or OIDP, was just fired.

This is wrong on every damn level. The President just ordered museums to lie—erasing racism, silencing trans voices, and rewriting history to protect power. 👏🏼 This isn’t patriotism. 👏🏼 It’s censorship. 👏🏼 We won’t be gaslit. 👏🏼 Truth still matters. #StopTheLies #HistoryIsPower

This Trump executive order is a racist, sexist attack on the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the American Women’s History Museum and the true purpose of history: to tell the truth about our past. It is straight out of Orwell.
