Durbin: "The question is not whether Trump is sinking in the polling -- and he appears to be -- but whether his fate is going to be shared by other Republicans, and whether they have the courage to join Democrats and do the right things and stand up for the Constitution."

Just imagine if Joe Biden had officially declared the January 6 insurrectionists were terrorists and threatened to send them to jail in El Salvador Started arresting the Steve Bannons and Tucker Carlsons of the world for criticizing this And sued Fox News to keep Hannity from talking about it

Fed fam—this is a great read featuring Rutgers labor professor Eric Blanc. TL;DR: With Musk stepping away from DOGE, now’s the time for federal workers to unite and stop the cuts. 💪 A little organizing and creativity goes a long way. 🧵👇

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

This is a huge deal. This is a Senator using his power in a non-traditional way: tget to El Salvador, get to see Kilmar, and get pics of both of them out. For Congress right now it’s not about speeches on the floor or business as usual. Good on the Senator for doing this.

🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!

Huge protests are the most important thing we can do right now. As MLK said: “there is no noise as powerful as the sound of marching feet of a determined people.” I’m talking numbers so large they shock people — friend and foe and media alike Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/davidpep...

RFK's pledge to find "what caused the autism epidemic" in a few short months is a transparent lie, to cover a preordained conclusion. But digging deeper, it gets much worse: it's about justifying a downright sadistic assault on children's health. www.salon.com/2025/04/14/r...

Correct. NIH, and the cancer and other medical cures it generates, is being burned to the ground. And we’d add: with that goes the whole US tech and biotech economy. Silicon Valley is in the US not elsewhere because of NSF, ARPA, NIH. That word isn’t getting out widely.

US Senators from every one of these states—AR, TX, KY, MO, OK, MS, TN—(1) approved Trump/Musk/Doge cuts to NOAA and FEMA, and (2) said Calif would need to change its internal policies before getting federal help for LA fire disaster. Every one of these US Senators happens to be MAGA/GOP.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

I have friends who are not bring cell phones to rallies this weekend. My response was that if they come for me (white, relatively wealthy, suburban woman with a “professional” career) than we have already lost. Get out in the streets on Saturday - before you are scared to be in the streets.
