JUST IN: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka sues interim US Attorney Alina Habba for "false arrest and malicious prosecution." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification? They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?

‼️‼️

This slippery slope is steep as hell. Justice Sotomayor called it: if the government can strip birthright citizenship from kids born here, what stops them from stripping gun rights too? Remember this later; Trump and Republicans opened the door. Watch til the end…

"Saudi Arabia 'masterminded and funded the worst attack on American soil, ever. If you worked that day, you remember what you went through… well, [how do you feel] when the president is in bed with the people that attacked us?” New York City firefighter Adam Lake

What’s supposed to happen? If my daughter is out and masked men grab her, claiming they’re ICE, drag her away w/out letting her prove she’s a citizen… w/out calling me, her dad… what is she supposed to do? Does she not have the right to fight back, as we have taught her, to free herself. Run? 1.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.

Listen to Black women… “The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity” “The threats & harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution & the rule of law” - KBJ

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.

Fascism isn’t coming. It’s here. Anyone telling you you’re overreacting is complicit.

i genuinely want to know what the hell is wrong with this guy. he is a total monster and i am a little interested in how he got to be this way.

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

NEW: A prison-owned chemical company in China brazenly offered dangerous drugs to U.S. and Mexican customers — boasting that “100% of our shipments will clear customs” — a congressional probe and records obtained by ProPublica show.

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum: “We are going to change the law to prohibit foreign governments from carrying out political and ideological propaganda in our country.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/w...

True ✅

Resist! ❤️‍🔥 #HandsOff #USprotests #Resistance

They have our business!

This is what happens when people speak up.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.

Perfect 🤣🎯

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Just got my measles vaccine! I got my first before 1968, so it turns out I needed a new one. The measles outbreak is ongoing, be careful out there!

My. Gawd. Dude is oranger than an Oompa Loompa.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

IT GETS WORSE Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. New via @wsj.com:

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

As a reminder, war plans were shared with a journalist on an unsecured app and several members perjured themselves when confronted including the Russian Asshat and Pete Kegseth.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA... The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

Trump has issued an executive order to remove funding from programs at the Smithsonian that promote what he calls an “improper ideology.” The White House put out a statement that criticized The National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Grassley: "We want to cover up-- or, overcome some of that problem."

RFK Jr. wants to gut the very agencies that protect us from pandemics, approve life-saving drugs, AND help our most vulnerable get healthcare? Y’all… this isn’t reform, it’s reckless. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/27/r...

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

New in PN: Why the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is a big deal "Voters by now have demonstrated their ability to choose diarrhea forever over everyone gets a puppy, & to vote away their own rights and democracy. But the WI election is a chance to start turning the country away from authoritarianism"

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

Sanders: I'm not a mathematician but I do know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1%. I do know that if we stand together, we are the vast majority of people. We can defeat trumpism

Board member Kimbal Musk sold $27.6 million in Tesla stock last month. Tesla's board chair, Robyn Denholm, dumped $117 million in Tesla stock over the last three months. Yet Elon is pleading with employees not to sell their stock.

Killing three dozen elementary school children with an AR gets "thoughts and prayers," but vandalizing a Tesla is "domestic terrorism?" This country is broken

😂

Aren’t Cubans part of Trump’s base in Florida? I wonder how this will go over.
