WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government may not use federal benefits or funds to coerce parties to surrender their constitutional rights. This is what the Administration is doing ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him Van Hollen: "The Trump Administration is lying about Abrego Garcia"

The DHS spokesperson is now alleging that Mr. Abrego Garcia was arrested with "rolls of cash and drugs" and was "wearing what is effectively an MS-13 uniform" (Chicago Bulls gear). But: 1) He was arrested for loitering and not charged for anything 2) PGPD previously said they had no incident report

"the worst and dumbest people in the world gloating about how they solved the ‘grift’ of sending lifesaving medications to dying babies...” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...

Exactly right by @gelliottmorris: "If POTUS can multiply violate Constitution with no accountability, he can literally do anything to anyone" bluevirginia.us/2025/04/sen-... h/t @atrupar.com

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

Spread this far and wide, please! Call, email, your congressional representatives!!!

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market. As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

Children had to die—again—for Kennedy to tell the truth. Health secretary RFK Jr. endorses the MMR vaccine — stoking fury among his supporters : Shots - Health News #vaccinessavelives www.npr.org/sections/sho...

He has no idea. He couldn’t tell you anything wrong with JCPOA other than the black guy with the scary middle name created it.

Russell 2000 hit its circuit breaker in the overnight hours, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Japan halted trading after hitting their breaker. Tomorrow is gonna be ugly.

At least 75% of the men Trump illegally deported to El Salvador have no criminal records. These men have been abducted and sent to a hell-hole Salvadoran “prison” that is the the equivalent of a torture-laden concentration camp. No due process. The Trump regime is paying El Salvador $6 million…

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

Make them listen: Add this message to your likes and reposts: Cover the #Hands-Off protests! @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @abcnewsbot.bsky.social

There are soooooo many people at the Cville/Albemarle #handsoff protest!!! 🥳

@chrislongview.bsky.social Do we get a pic of sweet Shelby with her birthday cake?

I’m a big man who rides the subway every night because I’m not a terrified hysterical neurotic

Interestingly enough, if you take the top 10 largest dollar drops, the entire chart is Trump and Bush 43. Weird how Obama and Biden aren’t on there, despite the growth of the $DJIA over the years.

Remember when Biden refused to attend the dignified transfer of four dead Americans because he was too busy at his golf course? Oh wait, that was the orange guy. My bad.

The Dow Jones has been open SEVEN MINUTES and is down 1,100 point. Happy Friday

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

I will never forgive this stupid MFers who voted for him or the ones who stayed home.

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia. Very normal administration we have here.

Yes. Figure out how to survive rather than bend the knee.

Call your republican senators and congresspeople TOMORROW. If you don't call to tell them what you want them to do, they're gonna listen to the people who do call in and they support all this shit. They're scared. Be strong and call. You can make a difference. Besides, what does it hurt to try?

Trump is currently blasting the trade deal with Canada and Mexico. You know, the one he negotiated in his first term.

There’s so much GOP cope happening today. “At least Wisconsin approved voter ID so libs can’t cheat” Wisconsin has required voter ID since 2015. You spent millions of dollars and got your ass kicked for a rule that already existed and that fundamentally changes nothing.

Elon can’t buy us. We are NOT for sale, and neither is democracy. THANK YOU WISCONSIN!

@booker.senate.gov kudos to your staff and team for making sure you had access to substantive pertinent materials for your filibuster. This is wonderful. Thank you.
