Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

If you had a buck for every time the HHS Secretary says “I don’t know,” you’d never have to work again. When asked if RFK Jr. personally approved over $11B in cuts that could gut infectious disease and mental health programs, he says he’s not familiar — then blames the cuts on DEI. 🤦🏽‍♂️

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

Trump signed an executive order that will delay Medicare price negotiations for a range of prescription drugs. This will raise the price of life-saving medicine for millions of seniors and cost taxpayers money. It's a big win for Big Pharma. A "new Golden Age" for whom?

Chris Van Hollen is sticking his neck out for Abrego Garcia. May he find answers and return safely. Only democrats help the underdogs. That’s us. Republicans are aligned with the cruel, insane fascists, The Broliarchy. You’re an un-American brainwashed POS if you call yourself a Republican.

Still confusing 2 things going on. It's not that people are being antisematic & have a problem with Jews. It's people who have a problem with the Israel government, committing genocide. And like everything that happens in this world, there are people who are anti-Semit mixed in with every movement

Elon Musk and Donald Trump think they can punish people for expressing views they disagree with. Well guess what: that's not how the First Amendment works. I salute Harvard and all those who are resisting Trump's political blackmail and bullying. And shame on those who are not.

“…members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access…” What kind of shady s**t is going on here?? www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

If you knew that because of your screw-up there was an innocent guy wasting away in an El Salvadoran prison, you'd do everything you could to get him back home. I don't know how some one sleeps at night knowing this, but then doing NOTHING to rectify the injustice. youtu.be/Xy6W0FhJBrw?...
