🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court in a 7-2 ruling Friday said the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants in its rushed effort to remove them from the U.S. last month using the Alien Enemies Act (AEA), a 1798 wartime law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump's taking a $400 million plane: a place in the sky from "Qatar the historic funder of terror at a very high level" —Donald Trump

55 years ago today, four Kent State students were killed on campus by Ohio National Guardsmen for protesting the Vietnam War Why does it feel like this is what Trump means by Make America Great Again?

WISCONSIN: The chair of the elections commission, a lawyer, breaks down what actually happened using the actual complaint. Arresting judges like this is a wild fast-forwarding of our plunge into authoritarianism.

The number for the phone Hegseth used for those Signal chats is also found on his social media and a fantasy sports site. At this point his comms are presumed totally compromised: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

NEW: Reps. Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Robert Garcia (D-CA), Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), and Maxine Dexter (D-OR) arrive in El Salvador Frost says the trip is “to pressure the Trump Administration to abide by a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia”

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

This is some big BS

Excellent advice

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

#MSM main stream media coverage of "Hands Off!" rallies across the US better be complete and accurate, or the next focus should be a total boycott

If you’re in Wisconsin, vote today for Susan Crawford. There are also two special elections in Florida’s 1st and 6th districts. Let’s show Elon our country isn’t for sale.

For people outside the industry, it may not be common knowledge, but one of the most famous bits of technical writing of all time, was Joel Spolsky saying that you should *never* rewrite an entire code base — 25 years ago. www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/t...

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

#SocialSecurity I need my SOCIAL SECURITY check every month and I'm old enough to remember 1991 WHEN THE SOVIET PENSION SYSTEM COLLAPSED AND LEFT MILLIONS OF ELDERLY RUSSIANS TO "FIGURE SOMETHING OUT" OR STARVE...

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland has just barred DOGE from accessing Social Security, saying the group is on a "fishing expedition" that jeopardizes people's personal data. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I think it misunderstands how right wing propaganda works. Virtually ALL of DOGE's claims have been fraudulent. It's just like Twitter Files. The point is not to make truth claims, it's to create a false scandal right wingers will adhere to and to get cover to do entirely unrelated things to govt.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

@aoc.bsky.social: "You have a right to see your elected member of Congress... Our job is to hear from people. And if you aren't doing town halls because your own residents and members of your community are upset with what you're doing, the answer is you’ve got to own your decisions."

Just making sure everyone sees what the former Social Security chief told CNBC on Saturday: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

Seems like Hegseth's Stand Down Our Defenses Against Russia order should be getting a bit more attention.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

This is absolute perfection. (Although I must say even I could draw the fiancĂŠe!)

Zelensky OPPOSES a ceasefire and truce just called for by Trump. “We don’t just need a ceasefire. We’ve done that before — Putin violated it 25 times, including during your presidency, Mr. President,” he told Trump.
