They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

If you love your library, listen up…

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.

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

Hands off our healthcare! Hands off our public education! Hands off our jobs! Hands off my 401k! Hands off my neighbor who has committed no crime! Hands off those Congressional seats that we are coming for in 2026!

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Winchester, VA #HandsOff2025

Winchester, VA HANDS OFF OUR DEMOCRACY!!

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says he’s inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill. Says he’s heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors. Everyone in red states :: call your reps!!

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

It's time for the biggest protest this country has seen in years: refuting Trump, Musk and their billionaire cronies. THIS SATURDAY there will be 1200+ rallies in all 50 states united by a simple message. HANDS OFF OUR FREEDOMS HANDS OFF OUR DEMOCRACY HANDS OFF OUR ECONOMY handsoff2025.com

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

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.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM EVERY DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE. Thank you, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

"I think you caved. I don't think you showed the fight this party needs right now, because you're playing by a rulebook where the other party has thrown that rulebook away" -- here's the full clip of Sunny Hostin confronting Schumer today on The View

I did almost five years in DC including the whole first Trump administration and the worst of COVID. The Kennedy Center was a highlight and a refuge. It is such a beautiful place and a treasure for city residents. Seeing it politicized breaks my heart.

DONELSON, TN: “No kings! No cuts to health care!” Folks showed up today to see a Rep. Andy Ogles staffer at their scheduled monthly senior center visit - but Ogles’ staff didn’t show up as they were scheduled to.🐔 (They were happy to see us though! 🎉 )

You won't catch me calling him any title but convicted felon, and you won't catch me calling it any name other than Gulf of Mexico.

Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...

In a scathing ruling, a federal judge has blocked Trump transgender military ban, calling it "soaked in animus and dripping with pretext." Judge Reyes says the ban demeans transgender people and lacks any legitimate basis.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

“The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.” Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Openly ignoring and defying the Judiciary. Breaking his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States. Granting himself unchecked power. This is authoritarianism.

Period!

Over $1.75 trillion was wiped out from the US stock market today. Trump owns all of this.

I'm just saying...
