Come for the conversation. Starting at 12 noon ET today Topics: - What just happened: Supreme Court's Alien Enemies Act due process ruling - Looking ahead: What exactly is in judges' toolkits to enforce their orders in face of contempt by administration officials ⤵️Direct link to YouTube Live⤵️

Who needs a $400 million “palace in the sky” when you can have two or three dolls and a couple of pencils instead.

“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

The National Institutes of Health will partner with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to create a database of Americans with autism, using insurance claims, medical records and smartwatch data.

This story just gets worse and worse

We should understand this for what it is: an effort to build public consent for the president to ignore the Supreme Court. abcnews.go.com/Politics/jus...

The Trump Administration lies about the law, and it lies about the facts. The administration lies about EVERYTHING.

Just great.

The U.S. measles outbreak has now topped over 900 people. Bravo, MAGA. 🤦‍♀️

“Do not mock us.”

Treat yourself to some good news -- two court victories in Pennsylvania.🥳 Watch, share and enjoy! youtu.be/aiA90u-MUqo

Andry Hernandez Romero, a makeup artist, was bundled off to El Salvador without due process, and is being held in a prison known for human rights abuses and in the hands of a regime that prides itself on its cruelty. Well, two regimes really.

Calling Brad Karp …..

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.

Resistance is NOT futile

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

Readings from several popular weather apps had people across Chicago spending much of Wednesday wondering whether their air was safe to breathe — until the dangerously unhealthy levels were revealed to be a glitch.

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.

BREAKING: we won! A federal judge has enjoined the administration's shut down of Voice of America Another success for the Constitution and for us @sddaction.bsky.social & our many wonderful partners & clients More details to follow--stay tuned!

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

McMorrow: "This is not a normal Republican Party who is going to be a check on the president. We saw Lisa Murkowski admitting...that she is afraid and that many of her members are afraid. So this does require new leadership...We have people who are ready to step up and lead."

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

Senator Van Hollen is a hero.

As one institution after another caves to Trump, one important check remains: There’s nothing Trump can do to bend global financial markets to his will. That's a major political opportunity. Matt Johnson on the unpopularity of Trump's economic calamity: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-econ...

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

There we go. Support this man.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

#HandsOff Santa Barbara! 📷: Society of Fearless Grandmothers

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

While this is great to see, I'm still pissed off at the "let's vote him in and complain later" approach.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming state capital

Gigantic crowd in NYC for the #HandsOff march against Trump, Musk, and MAGA. So many people that the participants can barely move along. Signs decrying Trump and Co. on many fronts: immigration, science, Social Security, reproductive rights, tariffs, autocracy, kleptocracy & the price of eggs.

Swalwell: This is what kicking the shit out of fascism looks like

CHICAGO…
