Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

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.

If you are actively culling your library to keep books like "The Bell Curve" while removing criticisms of the book, you are building a white supremacist library.

Share this everywhere. I believe there should be immigration enforcement. I believe there shld be an immigration enforcement agency. But this one is simply lawless to the core. That fact is just inescapable.

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Um, Madam Attorney General, Trump actually doesn't have the authority to determine how the money of the country will be spent. Congress has that Constitutional responsibility. In fact he, with your support, is breaking laws and violating the Constitution every day.

I’ve got bad news for those U.S. officials about how their own government is treating foreign nationals who criticize the wannabe American monarch …

Important for all of us but especially journalists.

Remember SignalGate? (One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

Remember when top Trump officials used an unsecured app, Signal, to share confidential military plans & then lied about it and they continue to expose our national security to potential foreign countries and enemies by using unsecure communications and most of them still have their jobs? Fun times.

It's not discussed in all the stories. But a key feature of the revocation of student visas is that there's no notification. This has forced universities to do regular online reviews of current visas to see which have disappeared since the previous query. The lack of notification is by design.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Today is World Health Day, marking the establishment of the World Health Organization (WHO) on April 7, 1948. The specialized agency of the United Nations was founded to further international cooperation for improved public health conditions.

We are living through the consequences of having an uninformed and ill-informed citizenry. Our founding fathers warned us about this danger.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Trump's antisemitism agenda isn't about the Jews. I wrote about how the president and his allies are using the pretext of protecting Jews to protect their policies from criticism, while advancing an agenda that most American Jews oppose. Gift link:

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

A reminder to reporters: Because Trump tariff numbers are made-up nonsense, using the phrase “reciprocal tariffs” is lying to your audience. The phrase itself is propaganda. They are not reciprocal.

Hello, Congress. Are you really going to go along with this tariff fiasco? Use your power.

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

Still waiting for proof of Elon’s alleged genius to manifest itself in a way that benefits someone besides him.

The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.

@bennet.senate.gov What’s up?

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Cory Booker

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

The Trump administration is more than just a joke, they're a National Security Threat.

Just DHS, driving around the streets of New Haven…first time I’ve ever seen them here
