Congress could stop his embarrassing and clumsy attempts to whitewash America in a minute of they would do the job they were elected to defend the Constitution and the American people. This bill is as far from beautiful as anything could get.

Brad is an incredible public servant and this is absolutely horrifying

Truly, is there any difference in the heart of a person who murders vs the person who laughs at the murder? #MikeLee

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. On June 14th, let's protest Trump's authoritarian takeover and send a peaceful reminder that we do not bow before kings in America. Join No Kings Day protests at nokings.org.

At least when the Roman Republic collapsed the ruling class was literate.

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

HELL YEAH: The federal prosecutor who resigned when Trump’s DOJ tried to force him to drop the Eric Adams corruption case - is running for Congress to FLIP Pennsylvania’s 7th district. And the best part? He can win. Blast this to space and watch his video. Let’s win this seat!

The spring has been full of great TV. Here's what you might have missed.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Constitution gives the president three important things: Zero power to write law, Zero power to ignore the law, Zero power to break the law.

“A construction worker in south Alabama says he was forcibly detained Wednesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who claimed his proof of U.S. citizenship was fake.” www.al.com/news/mobile/...

This is the whole point of what Stephen Miller is doing with Harvard & other schools. It’s not about protests, anti-semitism or anything else. It is their plan, many years in the making, to dismantle the US university system. Schools must unite & fight together, not individually.

The law couldn’t be clearer. I gave him weeks to review the language. I read it out loud to him for good measure. He still refused to say the simple truth: it is illegal for the president to weaponize the IRS against his political enemies.

Throwback Thursday… At President Biden’s final State of the Union address, he backed the entire Republican Party into a corner, forcing them to deny that they were planning to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—just to hand billionaires a trillion-dollar tax cut. He knew!

Rep. Ritchie Torres: “I spent most of my childhood…in the emergency room because I had constant asthma hospitalizations. I would not be alive today were it not for programs like Medicaid. I'm going to defend the programs that made it possible for me to achieve the American dream.

Trump is now attempting to overturn the conviction of a Colorado clerk who tampered with voting machines in a failed effort to prove the 2020 election was rigged against him.

From Monday’s show: Juan Lima tells me ICE detained his parents after they lived in the U.S. for 26 years, paying taxes, and becoming leaders in their church. Now he says his dad is sleeping on the floor of an ICE detention center. youtube.com/shorts/0byRO...

Reminder for those who seem to have forgotten: We don’t have kings in America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/george-washington-would-have-thrown

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Just heard something powerful… Authenticity isn’t loud. It lives in our quiet choices. Watch how people treat the janitor or a stranger asking for directions. It’s how we treat someone who can’t reciprocate a kindness.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

The Golden Age of Corruption www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Trump has deported a four-year-old US citizen with a rare form of metastatic cancer without medication or consultation with their doctor.

A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship. But they *really* don't like the Gulf of America thing. www.reuters.com/world/us/ame...

An agency told to hit their numbers, or else, can’t take the time to sit around and wait for our family to get cancer medicine. Too slow! Got to keep the assembly line running.

When even a moderate Republican like Senator Lisa Murkowski says, “We are all afraid,” it tells you everything you need to know about the state of our country.

“After Donald Trump won in November, I sat down to read all 922 pages of Project 2025,” @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily. “What I discovered was more radical and more interesting than I’d expected.”

Musk is destroying AmeriCorps. It looks like it’s RIP for AmeriCorps. The nonprofit that represents AmeriCorps’ state commissions which organize state-level community service programs funded by the federal agency announced that commissions in all 50 states,
