"To serve and protect the Rich" Sticker spotted in Quebec City

For sale: Baby Boeing, never flown. 😢

The remarks come just one day after calling for a ceasefire and access to humanitarian aid in Gaza and an end to the war in Ukraine.

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

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.

With nearly 40 years of legal practice, lawyer Abbe Lowell has represented many powerful people. Now he's starting a new law firm to represent those who have drawn the ire of President Trump. By @carriejohnson.bsky.social

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

The U.S. declared that measles was eliminated in this country in 2000. Yet in 2025 we have managed to grab the brass ring and usher in the biggest single measles outbreak since that declaration. RFK Jr. must be removed from office immediately.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Turns out a notoriously sloppy drunk wasn’t the best choice for Secretary of Defense. So weird.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

Our military is in chaos. Our most sensitive national security intel isn’t safe. Our adversaries are overjoyed. Pete Hegseth has to go ASAP.

Pope Francis, the first non-European head of the Roman Catholic Church in more than a millennium, died at age 88. Francis was one of the most popular popes in decades and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

Raskin: There are some people who are so rich and equip themselves with battalions of lawyers that they feel that the law doesn't apply to them, they can get away with anything. That's a major threat to the rule of law.

Four House Democrats, Reps. Robert Garcia (Calif.), Maxwell Frost (Fla.), Maxine Dexter (Ore.), and Yassamin Ansari (Ariz.), are traveling to El Salvador to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was “mistakenly” deported to the country by the Trump administration.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

Let’s be perfectly clear… When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is ‘the role of Congress’ to remove him from office… Full stop. Any Questions?!

There's no way around it: if we care about law and order we have to let the government commit crimes

No one should be deported to a prison in another country without due process.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

🧵 We must learn from history—or risk repeating it. During 1989–91, the U.S. experienced over 55,000 measles cases and around 120 child deaths—mostly among unvaccinated, uninsured preschoolers. This led to the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, which provides free vaccines to eligible kids.

Britain said it will expand financing support for exporters by 20 billion pounds ($26 billion), including those affected by US tariffs, in an effort to give them stability and certainty in what it described as a new era of global trade reut.rs/44mQkHx

The ultra wealthy are building bunkers to insulate themselves from the world they're rapidly destroying. It's why we have to work together because it really is a 0.1% vs the 99.9% situation www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer.  So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

Andrew Sullivan: “Once you grasp Trump as an elected monarch, his full rebuke to the very idea of America comes into clearer view. He is precisely — almost uncannily — what this country was founded to oppose: an arbitrary, corrupt, mendacious, and utterly incompetent king”

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

"I have spent the better part of my career listening to loud men talk tough to disguise their weakness." We’re stanning Janet Mills for her unwavering commitment to the law and her refusal to capitulate to bullies. ❤️‍🔥🙌💪 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u... www.wmtw.com/article/no-n...

They are obviously slow learners

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.
