As many have noted, what we’ve been seeing in recent months, with interest rates and the dollar moving in opposite directions, doesn’t look like what we normally see in the United States, or for that matter advanced nations in general.

So many former government employees are still doing their work even now that they're not in government. They're still researching, helping connect people to services, and trying to serve the public somehow. This is how much they care. These people, your people, are the embodiment of #altCitizen

DOGE’s drastic cuts to foreign aid has caused new HIV infections to surge and threaten to derail plans to eradicate AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. They’ve jeopardized the rollout of a newly developed injectable that is “the closest thing to a vaccine that we have ever had in HIV response.”

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion. Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Donald Trump, a man whose name we only know because his father was a multi-millionaire who gave him over $400,000,000 to rescue him from his incompetence in business, is pretending to cherish "meritocracy." How hilarious. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Yesterday, a federal judge hit pause on an Anti-Voter Executive Order. She wrote that a president “cannot make new law or devise new authority for himself—by executive order or otherwise. He may only wield those powers granted to him by Congress or by the Constitution.” Full statement bit.ly/3EOwtGS

An ‘Executive Order’ is not, legally speaking, a thing by itself. A president has no universal power to rule by mere decree. An Executive Order only has legal force to the extent other laws (constitution, statutes) provide for that order to have effect.

It's only in a broken unhappy nation that you have to think about the president many times a day. On top of everything else, narcissists are just...exhausting

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

This is your Earth Day reminder that billionaires got rich by exploiting our planet. The carbon emissions of the top 1% alone cancel out one million wind turbines. Protect our environment. Tax billionaires.

That "Due Process" is even a contentious issue now shows how our broken country has moved from the values of whose who wrote our Constitution. We are a country adrift.

Donald Trump is against due process even though he has benefited from it more than anyone else. And Donald doesn't just get due process, he get undue process, thanks to a corrupt, partisan Supreme Court.

Pope Francis knew the enemies within: “In every religion there is always a fundamentalist group that does not want to go ahead and lives on bitter memories, on the struggles of the past, looking for more war and also sowing fear." www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

That State Department isn't "changing its mind about what it calls human rights." The United States is embracing its disgusting Gitmo and Abu Ghraib horrors to be a country that knowingly violates human rights. We are the bad guys.

Van Hollen: "As the federal courts have said, we need to bring Mr. Abrego Garcia home to protect his constitutional rights to due process...If you deny the constitutional rights of one man, you threaten the constitutional rights and due process for everyone else in America."

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
