“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

The real leaders are the incredible grassroots organizers who continue to make history with their efforts, which grow stronger by the day. We’re honored to play whatever role we can in uplifting these movements—even if corporate media chooses to ignore what's really happening on the ground.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

COLLINS: You said that if SCOTUS said someone needed to be returned you would abide by that. You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago TRUMP: Why don't you just say, 'isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?' That's why nobody watches you anymore.

El Salvador won’t return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Meanwhile, Trump is not only refusing to bring him back—he is lying about the Supreme Court ruling compelling him to do so.

When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one. No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.

This admin is turning on the firehose hoping you’ll burn out and give up. But you don’t have to do it all. Do one thing, take one step each day. Put your phone down. Take a walk. Find the thing that moves you and focus. If we all find our one thing, we’ll build something better—together.

Today, the House passed HR 1526 the No Rogue Rulings Act to punish judges who dare to rule against Trump. Mostly party line vote of 219-213 with one Republican No from Mike Turner (R-OH). The bill now goes to the Senate. Time to call your Senators!

The budget proposal we’re voting on is BAD for everyday Americans. The only people it benefits are the top 1% — the billionaire buddies of our billionaire president. Let’s talk about it.

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.

Trump/MAGA are all about tearing down government. Dems need to offer an alternative vision that delivers, in abundance, what we need — housing, clean energy, scientific innovation, etc. Dems, for decades, have made it too hard to do things. We need to make it easier. That’s the antidote to Trump.
