He's doing that thing with his hands that Michael Cohen said he does when he lies.

"I think it's only a matter of time before [a state attorney general] figures out how to file state kidnapping charges against those that are abducting people who are in the country legally..." says former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley.

What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Do you know the difference between “$2 trillion” and “$150 billion”? About $2 trillion.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

I definitely need more @neeratanden.bsky.social in this fight. HBU?

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

As Tucson experiences record-breaking heat in April, the Tucson Fire Department is already preparing for an increase in heat-related calls, a scenario typically expected in the summer.

The immigration judge in Louisiana rules that Columbia University graduate and legal green card holder Mahmoud Khalil can be deported. Appalling.

Another court defeat for Trump White House Judge rejects request for pause on order restoring access to Associated Press Judge: "Constitutional protections would be worth little indeed if they wilt in the face of presidential incursion"

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1968: LBJ signs the Civil Rights Act of 1968, prohibiting discrimination in the sale, rental and financing of housing. The Act also provides for federal prosecution of hate crimes and extends Bill of Rights guarantees to Native Americans.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Edsel Ford says thank-you.

Historians will tell you -- do not believe it.

The government is slashing public health jobs, gutting vaccine programs, and fueling a measles comeback. This is not reform—it’s sabotage. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/make-ameri...

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

1/ Just as a reminder, we WERE onshoring a bunch of manufacturing jobs, thanks to the CHIPS and IRA acts. Those jobs were spread around the country, many/most in red districts. Trump trying to kill them all. www.jackconness.com/ira-chips-in...

Leave it to the MAGA party to blow something out of proportion to fix what's not broken, spread hate, and have something to talk about, because they have nothing. Nothing.

If we win and win with a large enough margin, I want Democrats to not only recognize that these organizations legally exist, but I want them to strip Musk of his wealth to help pay for rebuilding it. Find a way.

Dr David Kessler announced to Rachel Maddow that the man who may have saved FOTUS' life when he got COVID has been fired. The woman responsible for what FOTUS called a miracle drug has been fired.

When you spend half your time driving around in the Presidential limousine and the other half in a golf cart, of course you don’t care about rising car prices. But most Americans do.

France raises a fascinating hypothetical point: what if the law still exists even if people might get mad at you

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

DOGE claims to have found billions of dollars in fraud yet not one criminal charge has been filed against anyone, just mass firings of federal employees. Which means they’ve been wasting millions of dollars finding absolutely nothing on purpose. The fraud is DOGE.

Of course they lied to Congress. And now there's no one in the DoJ that will do anything about it. Keep calling them out on their lies. We're the only check on them now.

This ain’t like ever before. Political parties are irrelevant. The choice, while we still have it, is #DICTATORorDEMOCRACY

🤔 When Trump and Elon say they are for Government "efficiently" they are lying. What they want is to make Government programs so screwed up, so they can then claim falsely that they don't work and need to be privatized. Privatization has ALWAYS been their goal❗

HB 1 as proposed is a blank check for universal school vouchers. We must support our local public schools, not create unlimited entitlement programs for the extremely wealthy. This is the time to stand together. #txlege

One thing to note - as far as I can remember, Jenner and Block has one of the most significant tribal law practices of any firm in the country. Multiple partners are indigenous. Just another thing to consider with them being targeted with this EO.

Tribal Nation flags have been removed from the Phoenix VA. Gov Hobbs says they'll hang in the state rotunda until they can be returned to the VA where they belong. F-ers.

Trump’s Plan: Let’s put a bunch of loyalist clowns in charge of our national defense. What could possibly go wrong?

Quite interesting....

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.
