Democratic House Rep. Josh Gottheimer from New Jersey on the delays at Newark airport: "The region is short about 40 air traffic controllers that it needs...This is unacceptable, both at this airport and what the FAA is doing." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

I knew it! The White House is considering SUSPENDING HABEAS CORPUS. And here I thought I was being paranoid.

A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers. This is corruption. Always call it out.

Lost in this week's noise is the fact that the other day, the President of the United States was handed a softball question about the Declaration of Independence, and his "answer" made clear that he has no idea what it says or what it was about, even though there's a copy on the wall in his office.

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Alcatraz brings in between $20 million and $34 million a year in tourism revenue for the National Park Service alone. The cost to renovate Alcatraz could be as high as $350 million to house 300 prisoners. In 1959, it cost over 3x more to house inmates there vs. another prison... 🧵

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

Say that again! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

NEWS: Trump deploying U.S. combat forces to the Middle East as conflict with Houthis escalates

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth: Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone. Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes? Fuck ALL the way off.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

“It’s not my fault you couldn’t stop me”

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Everyone needs to watch 2073.

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!!!

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

Source at VA tells me an emergency data request went out demanding info any on relationships the 2nd largest Fed department and largest healthcare system in the US has with Harvard. We know there are significant research connections. This won't hurt Harvard. It will kill veterans. They don't care.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

I finally deleted my meta accounts. I dragged my feet on it long enough.

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

BREAKING: Gov. Hochul will NOT remove Mayor Eric Adams. Add another name to the list of Gutless Cowards.

Lawyers at Twitter are reportedly threatening advertisers to spend more money on the platform “or else” Elon Musk will use his connections with Trump to hurt their companies.

From an IRS employee in Texas, one of thousands still awaiting news on whether they still have jobs: "It's a mess. Lot of tears. Managers also just received an email that there was some glitch and not everyone received their letters."

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

This is chilling.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

A Missouri Representative has filed a bill to track pregnancies in the state. HB 807 will: "Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child and make the same available to a prospective adoptive parent who has completed screenings."
