Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

He’s a fucking child.

He said his name is Tayshawn Harper. And he sounds 100% American so he’s either been here since he was very young or he’s a citizen

BUSY NIGHT FOR THE COURTS: Late last night, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction barring DOGE’s access to sensitive Social Securitt data, saying the government flouted the law to provide unfettered access to DOGE without a reasonable basis. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Not in Putin's wildest dreams did he ever dream to have the US just stand aside while he rebuilt the USSR. But here it is, and this time it'll be allied with a STRONG China - Goodbye democracy, goodbye America. www.reuters.com/world/us-rea...

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state in last fiscal yr: "D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

Good www.axios.com/2025/04/07/s...

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

No matter how hard the Trump/Musk admin may try, they will not take our joy. They will not take our power. #HandsOff

Penguins! #HandsOff

Pittsburgh had two #handsoff events. One big one downtown and another one that was a wave and honk line at a busy intersection in the East End.

Here he is today, deeply concerned about economic hardship caused by his tariff scheme.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

"We are not a sympathetic victim.”

A felon is President of the US. Evangelical white christians reject teachings of Jesus; billionaire from South Africa is cutting benefits for millions of Americans: a puppy killer is head of Homeland Security. An anti-science man is head of HHS. and on and on... this isn't an April fools joke.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

New in PN: John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him. "After all, how can the rightwing justices expect a future president — particularly a Democratic one — to accept rulings limiting the exercise of their power from a Court that served as the judicial stooge of an aspiring dictator?"

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

It’s funny because it vastly underestimates the number of people who don’t like him

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

Wisconsin, the Supreme Court's future is at stake! 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Vote Judge Susan Crawford to protect abortion rights, fair maps, and workers' protections. Her proven fairness keeps the court balanced —don't let it flip conservative! Act now to secure justice for all. Your vote matters!

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS. They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news. Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED. 🧵

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.

Actually I think the first rule is to lie. Every chance you get.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

BREAKING: @justinbrannan.bsky.social, the NYC Finance Chair and leading candidate for NYC Comptroller, is calling for COMPLETE divestment of NYC’s $1.2 billion pension investment in Tesla. If Brannan wins the NYC Comptroller race, Tesla would lose another $1.2 BILLION.

I’m not sure how much longer Mike Waltz is going to be able to fool Trump into believing he wasn’t a regular source for Jeffrey Goldberg.

The President does not have the constitutional or statutory authority to dictate the content of voter registration forms. This EO is an incredibly dangerous power grab. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

If Brad Karp has any decency, he would resign from the firm he has dishonored. If Paul Weiss partners have any self-respect, they will do the same to protest this capitulation.

Man who raped women, defrauded people who paid his scam charitable trust & university, incited the desecration of our Capitol, defrauded banks, obstructed justice, and failed to pay taxes on his father's big estate--without *any* consequences--wants you punished if you light up one unoccupied car.

this district hasn't had a Democrat representing it in Congress since the 1960s

This is new favorite streaming series. TSLA is down 53% since it's high point in December.
