“We are all afraid,” [Sen.] Murkowski said. “It’s quite a statement But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. I’ll tell you, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

@mcbride.house.gov exemplifies grace and courage. Thanks, to Hanna Rodin and Radio Atlantic for this interview podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

Highly recommend listening to Jessie Weber & @dahlialithwick.bsky.social. Before listening I had no words to describe Paul, Weiss and other #biglaw’s capitulation - now I do: “We have a beautiful constitution but it doesn’t mean anything if we don’t enforce it.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Stanford and Yale, way to go thehill.com/homenews/edu...

Stanford and Yale back Harvard in opposition to the Trump administration thehill.com/homenews/edu...

Reverse the cave, Columbia. Capitulation isn’t worth it and it never will be. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/n...

Good for #Harvard! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

“Among the most disturbing ideas floated by the Trump administration in recent weeks is the possibility that it will send U.S. citizens to be imprisoned by the Salvadoran government.” newrepublic.com/maz/article/...

Trump is not done attacking our elections. He and his supporters plot every day to undermine the right to vote. They are constantly looking for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in the election system. This is their top priority. The question for us is whether it is ours as well.

A reminder that while Democracy Docket was warning that Pam Bondi was an election denier who would do Trump's bidding, the Washington Post was giving her a literal thumbs up. Forget the legacy media, sign up for Democracy Docket today. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of NC Alliance for Retired Americans and VoteVets AF, my firm has filed an appeal to the Fourth Circuit to block the Republicans' efforts to steal a North Carolina state Supreme Court election. Follow Democracy Docket for full details. www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-...

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

So Trump *has* conceded he has the ability to bring García back. So not doing so would be contempt of court.

I’m a skier. I wonder how this will affect my ability to quickly ascertain what to expect when getting ready to have a day on the hill. Admittedly a 1st world problem but this affects everyone. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/c...

Sheesh! Talk about grooming just another example of when the radical right says something. They’re really just projecting what they are doing themselves or planning to do. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

This was three months ago.

UPDATE: DOJ trying to cancel today's Abrego Garcia hearing and delay filing a response to the judge's order until next week. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Local mental health facility in Reno, NV shuts down presumably due to Trump cuts. Now folks that might have sought mental health help in a specialized facility have to go to the emergency room. www.rgj.com/story/news/l...

Good for USA Fencing for not changing their rules to obey radical-right ideology. Thanks Erin for always bringing us the news we don’t hear. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

“If the Republican Party does not return Congress to the role it is meant to play and the courts don’t constrain the president, this cycle of destruction will continue and everyone on the planet will pay the price.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"The U.S. Gov. has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the U.S. off the street & remove him from the country w.o. due process.” - Judge Thacker substack.com/@chrisgeidne...

BREAKING: The 4th Circuit has *denied* the Trump administration's effort to resist an order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by midnight tonight. Judge Xinis' order is still in effect. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Trump admin admits it should not have deported Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, but tells SCOTUS no court can require his return because it would intrude on Article II powers to conduct foreign negotiations. If this stands, why can't Trump deport anyone "in error" and not have to undo?

Horrifying inside story of the disappeared (with NO due process) migrants experience after they landed in El Salvador told by the photojournalist who was there. #firsttheycamefor www.cbsnews.com/news/photojo...

60 Minutes story from April 6, 2025 starkly illuminate the Trump Admin’s lawless disappearing migrants with NO process. #firsttheycamefor youtube.com/watch?v=_QmW...

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff
