A man is being deported for using his voice. If free speech leads to detention and deportation, this is only the beginning. If Khalil isn't safe, none of us are safe. #FreeMahmoud #FreeKhalil #DefendDissent #BringThemBack

You know who we’re talking about here.

ICYMI — Least surprising news of the week: Trump wants to free the informant who lied to the FBI about Biden. apnews.com/article/fbi-...

The Trump tariff roller-coaster goes off the rails. The mad king makes a mockery of the rule of law. The Reverse Robin Hood budget bill begins. Heather and I break down this week's news — and take a sneak peek at my new memoir — on today's Coffee Klatch. https://youtu.be/fUIFIG1TnRo

Looks like Reddit has discovered Low Quality Facts.

Strong evidence we are in fact in the “stupid” timeline.

This part

Cost of extending the Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Remember this as we hear about "wasteful government spending."

Trump surrenders again.

I don’t know what the administration expected other countries to do. Just continue to have faith in our assets?

Sofidel’s $200 million expansion in Duluth is creating jobs and reinforcing Minnesota as a top place to live and work.

A truly progressive tariff policy would target key goals for workers and the environment. @toddntucker.bsky.social explores how we can use trade protections to strengthen working-class livelihoods & environmental goals in @theintercept.com ⤵️ theintercept.com/2025/04/09/t...

“When the workers who make sure our food is safe to eat, care for our veterans, protect us from public health emergencies and much more no longer have a voice on the job… everyday Americans lose the services they count on.” – AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social

And this is why countries are dumping their U.S. treasuries and dollars.

imagine what the Nazis could have done if they had the internet. oh wait you don't have to imagine

New - Albanian opposition leader Sali Berisha is banned from traveling to the US. But Chris LaCivita, Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio, longtime Manafort associate Phil Griffin, and CPAC all appear to be helping his political ambitions anyway.

Trump’s tariffs aren’t targeting corporate greed—they’re making things more expensive. Add in attacks on labor protections and clean energy, and it’s a blow to both workers and manufacturing. www.newsweek.com/progressive-...

The Trump administration is planning to declare legal migrants dead on the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File. This is an outrageous abuse of power. It will not only create extreme hardship, but kill people.

We should be pleased that SCOTUS has upheld a ruling against the administration to facilitate the release of a man wrongfully deported to a prison in El Salvador. Yet we should be wary of the huge exception SCOTUS appears to have drawn. My write-up on the ruling: buff.ly/G9cjREz

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of our SMART union brother Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. Write your member of Congress and demand that he is returned to his family.

Also: Karoline Leavitt suddenly worried about denying reality.

In the last year, Meals on Wheels — which provides meals to seniors in need and people with disabilities — has been touted on Fox and even by Steve Bannon. The program’s future is suddenly unclear.

Make no mistake — the Trump administration is refusing to comply with the Supreme Court as it pertains to Abrego Garcia's release. This is where we are now. This is what they are doing. This is only the beginning.

Do we even know if Abrego Garcia is still alive? 😞

You may want to cancel any cruises you had planned. I would.

The irony was lost on absolutely no one

No revenues but at the same time people here are curtailing their purchases and investments, and other countries *are* collecting tariffs on U.S. imports. The worst of all worlds! Only a stable genius could have accomplished all this!!
