I really try to resist the pull of being a middle aged man just shaking his head at the world going to hell in a handbasket, but this makes it hard! nymag.com/intelligence...

Conference paper proposal vs actual paper

Bill Sanders on the HUAC turning it's attention to the Klan, 1965.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

www.debtinperspective.com Great site that puts the National Debt and DOGE shenanigans in perspective.

these fuckers being able to destroy everything is not a foregone conclusion

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an unsecured internet line set up in his office to connect to Signal, AP sources say.

This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook, a naked attempt to attack progressive infrastructure and chill all opposition with blatantly illegal threats. www.cnn.com/2025/04/24/p...

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Busy out here in Folsom. @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social

UPDATE: An hour late, the only substantive update from DOJ is a link to Bukele's Oval Office comments. Still no response to the judge's questions. Spells Kilmar's first name wrong. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Donald Trump's strongman bromance with Nayib Bukele is no accident. "President B" is like a beta test of Trump's expansive vision of executive power — defanging courts, intimidating rivals, flouting term limits. w/ @joshgerstein @hassankanu www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

As Trump ignores a 9-0 Supreme Court decision requiring due process for a legal resident, he told the President of El Salvador that “home-grown” opponents - ie US citizens - should be next. This is blatantly unconstitutional.

JUST IN: CIA confirms that when it scanned Director Ratcliffe's phone for Signalgate messages, they were gone. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

We are way past impeachment time

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @ivey.house.gov discusses how Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally deported by the Trump Administration, denied due process and sent to an infamous prison in El Salvador. The court has ordered him to be returned and this Administration must comply without delay.

“How can I return an innocent man to the United States when I don’t have the ability to feel empathy or compassion?” said Nayib Bukele theonion.com/salvado...

JUST IN: A federal judge has halted Trump administration’s early termination of programs that admitted hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans into the United States. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Is it just me or has Hakeem Jeffries run out of steam. Or something. No fire when he speaks. It’s really strange considering how powerful he has been in the past

WATTERS: The president was musing about sending some of the most horrible people in this country down to that mega prison. Is that legal? BONDI: These are Americans who he is saying have committed the most heinous crimes in our country

BREAKING: Trump administration freezes $2.2 billion in grants to Harvard after the university defies its demands over campus protests.

Jeffries: "So many of these people are crooks, liars, and frauds, and Marjorie Taylor Greene is of course exhibit A ... we do need to change the law so that sitting members of Congress cannot trade stock. Period. Full stop."

First time we’ve seen this in any poll in a long time.

Thousands of jobs. Cleaner transit. Less traffic. A direct line from Dallas to Houston. That’s what this project could’ve meant for Texas— but instead, the Trump Administration shut it down.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

PART 1/2– 🚨 A sitting U.S. president caught on a hot mic suggesting we deport American citizens—calling them “home-growns”—to El Salvador. Meanwhile, Bukele refuses to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, despite a Supreme Court order. Trump stays silent.

Wow

This is literally a demand for DEI hiring and admissions…for MAGA

On Friday, Judge Hollander asked SSA Administrator Dudek to appear at a hearing on April 15. (Left) Tonight, the Trump administration says it will decline to make him available (right) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For the first time in over a decade, Chicago’s public school teachers have a new contract without a strike or threat of a walkout. The four-year agreement includes pay hikes, hiring more teachers and class size limits.

I.e., Affirmative action for MAGA

"Its first target was Columbia. When that school acceded to the administration’s demands, it didn’t get its funding back. Instead, Trump is considering demanding that Columbia agree to direct government oversight — effectively, a takeover of the university..." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

"the worst and dumbest people in the world gloating about how they solved the ‘grift’ of sending lifesaving medications to dying babies...” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...

Now that the SAVE Act has passed the House, what will the Senate do? @robertgarcia.bsky.social on how the GOP is trying to make voting harder www.msnbc.com/katie-phang/...

Van Hollen: "I think that the situation for both Trump and the president of El Salvador is unsustainable. SCOTUS ruled 9-0 that the administration has to facilitate his return, and you have the president of El Salvador saying, 'Well, I don't have the power to release him.' Both things are untrue."

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

Van Hollen: "I applaud Harvard's decision not to give in to bullying from the Trump administration. Trump believes in 1st Amendment rights for himself, but apparently for nobody else ... the whole purpose of 1A is you don't have the government dictating speech as the administration is trying to do."
