If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen. Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

Andry Romero, a gay makeup artist came to the US last year in search of asylum. He did not show up for his scheduled court date - ICE had seized him & took him to brutal prison in El Salvador. His family is desperately worried. Senator request to see him was denied. Proof of life denied.

youtu.be/HauAJVQVvLU #lawrenceodonnell Lawrence O’Donnell has been waiting for someone with the power and legal authority to sue Donald Trump to stop his illegal tariffs. That happened today when California became the first state to file a lawsuit in federal court to block the Trump tariffs.

A plea. Can we stop declaring this a “constitutional crisis?” It’s bigger. It’s a crisis about fundamental American ideals and structures. “Constitutional crisis” makes it sound like an abstract lawyerly crisis It’s bigger.

Deporting people means a judge signs a final deportation order, and the person is returned to their own country. What we are doing is kidnapping a person off the street and paying for them to be held indefinitely in concentration camps outside US courts' jurisdiction. 100% deliberately extralegal.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

I don’t want to pay for tariffs when we could simply tax people who try to buy elections.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

The “methods for doing so” are (1) getting two thirds of Congress and three fourths of the states to repeal the 22nd Amendment and (2) declaring himself king. That’s it. Stop treating this despotic bullshit as if it’s some worthwhile thought experiment we have to consider as legitimate.

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue SO NOW HE’S…saying, he might use our military to “annex” Greenland. Just to be clear, that is putinspeak for invade Greenland. Ask the people of the four regions of Ukraine that have been “annexed” by Russia. He’s using the language of a dictator.
