20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

😬

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

Trump administration has deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with no meaningful process and against the wishes of her father.

NEW: Statement from attorney for Judge Dugan. "Hannah C. Dugan has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge. Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated."

Excited today to be a registered Florida Democrat, and to launch Florida 2026. To learn more and to support, head to davidjolly.com. Florida's next chapter starts today.

New polling just out from the New York Times is even worse for Trump on this issue. By a -21% margin, Americans disapprove of how Trump has handled the case of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

Donald Trump's flurry of pathetic, deranged posts this morning proves once again—that’s all he’s got. Republicans in Congress might still be scared of his mean tweets, but the rest of the world is laughing at him.

•••••BREAKING••••• Classified information Pete Hegseth shared with wife, brother, and personal lawyer came directly from top general's secure messages. Details outlined in thread below:

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally TREASONable to the American public." -Theodore Roosevelt

🤣🤣🤣

Oh look, Ron DeSantis is totally not corrupt — he just sent $10 MILLION in taxpayer money to his wife’s “charity,” which then “magically” funneled $8.5 MILLION to a PAC backing his crony. Nothing to see here, folks. Just good ol’ wholesome Florida family values. 🙃 #DeSantisScandal

"Worst ... Since 1932" is not something you ever want to see in an economic headline

Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donalds — who is running for governor — was loudly booed at a town hall event in Estero, Florida, while answering a question about Elon Musk and DOGE’s cuts to the Social Security Administration. "Don't boo," Donalds pleaded in vain with the jeering crowd.

The @WSJ headline says it all: Dow Headed for Worst April Since 1932 as Investors Send ‘No Confidence’ Signal. @hannaherinlang.bsky.social www.wsj.com/finance/inve...

“A groundbreaking microscope at Harvard Medical School could lead to breakthroughs in cancer detection... But the scientist who developed computer scripts to read its images and unlock its full potential has been in an immigration detention center for two months” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This is the part where Pete Hegseth resigns But will he actually? Probably not. Yet Signalgate will continue to grind on, even if (or especially if) its principal players refuse to leave the stage. open.substack.com/pub/tristans...

I think this is the one financial crisis in history we could have stopped by just asking Congress to take away this man's power to destroy the economy for his personal pleasure.

Dan Abrams Calls Out Pete Hegseth for ‘Attacking the Media’ Instead of ‘Expressing Regret’ https://twp.ai/4ilqII

we’re going to keep doing this every morning until he’s gone

#SignalGate

Hegseth nervously blames the media and 'disgruntled former employees' for his fuck-ups. (BTW...these 'disgruntled former employees' were his hires, and were JUST fired.)

💯

First watch with the sound off. Then with the sound on. That this person is presented as the U.S. Secy of Defense is an utter embarrassment.

🎯

Every senator who confirmed Hegseth knew better. They sacrificed their integrity, decency, legacy, and the safety of our service members, the American people and our allies in exchange for allegiance to a want to be dictator. May shame follow them forever.

🚨 The Trump administration is planning to deport 50 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, despite a federal judge’s order to halt the flights. Many deportees have no criminal records, raising serious due process concerns. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/u...

FSU STUDENT: "I’m gonna call on Governor Desantis, Trump… this stuff keeps going on. Prayers don't do much. we need to make some gun reforms."

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

This is the 81st mass shooting of 2025 and the 18th shooting on a college campus in 2025. It’s not a coincidence that we have a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations, or that guns are the leading cause of death for kids in America—it’s a policy failure.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”
