The fact that #SCOTUS hasn't yet ruled in Abrego Garcia isn't proof of how the justices are going to rule. But the longer it takes, the more it suggests that there isn't a majority of the Court who views this dispute with the same urgency that so many of us do. And that's a problem unto itself.

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

The FTC has halted its lawsuit accusing OptumRX, CVS, and Express Scripts of breaking the law by inflating insulin prices. Trump illegally fired the two Democratic members of the commission, and now these corporations are going to get away with price gauging insulin.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

🚨 Big SCOOP 🚨 Tax revenue could fall by as much as 10% this year, per sources, as taxpayers and businesses see the Trump admin as less likely to challenge tax cheats. That'd be $500 BILLION in lost revenue. It'd nearly double the tax gap in a single year.

The thing about Trump’s team is that we learn how many morally bankrupt, marginally intelligent, men of utterly average substance have walked among us, seemingly successful, running money-making firms, CEOs and venture capitalists - even the richest man in the world. They have been unmasked.

The writ of habeas corpus exists to protect against arbitrary detention and confinement. Of course, the writ meaning anything depends on an executive branch that is willing to 1) respond to a legal action; 2) tell the truth in court; and 3) obey a court order. Otherwise this is 1973 Chile

Fearing repercussions from your government. Fearing the sudden loss of healthcare for your whole family. Fearing that what the government intends for you is mere sadism—trauma without purpose or justification. This is what evil men do when we let them spend a lifetime doing evil without consequence.
