If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against him. The Constitutional Crisis is no longer some abstract idea, it's right here staring us in the face.

TRUMP: These are radicalized people. And they cannot have a nuclear weapon REPORTER: Does that include a potential strike on Iranian nuclear facilities? TRUMP: Of course it does

Statement from Trump on Putin’s Palm Sunday Massacre missile attack that killed at least 34, including several children, and injured another 117 people:

Nobody knows from one hour to the next what the policy of the US govt is that impacts trillions of dollars in global trade. There is no economic certainty for investors, corporations, or small businesses. Mad King Donald is determined to wreck this economy.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Trump and his White House have publicly mused about sending Americans to El Salvador. Those conversations are happening behind the scenes, too, sources say — and revolve around plans to denaturalize U.S. citizens.

It was always about personal profit

Elon Musk can't be trusted with rockets, drugs, video games, social media, or even his own children. He damn sure can't be trusted with your data.

Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is a father, a husband, a SMART Union apprentice — and it’s long past time for him to be reunited with his family in Maryland. He was wrongly deported by Donald Trump and left to rot in an El Salvador prison. Bring him home.

students are being deported for writing op-eds, not vandalizing a library. Taking part in a protest, not taking over a campus. Rubio is making claims about guilt without offer any evidence.

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

We found the voter fraud!!!!!

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Let's be clear, the festering boil on the ass of America is a blithering dolt, who has no idea what he is doing, and is ruling by whimsy, notion, and decree. Meanwhile, the sycophants and acolytes who surround him at the White House and on Capitol Hill continue to bend the knee for the lunatic king.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Elon: those protestors are all paid! Also Elon:

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Not joking: as of today Donald Trump is the absolute greatest destroyer of wealth the country has ever had

They erased Harriet Tubman from the National Park Service

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

LOUDER FOR THE ANTI-VAXXERS AT THE BACK…. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Sunday that “the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine,” his most direct statement yet, following the death of a second child in West Texas.  www.statnews.com/2025/04/06/r...

I cannot with the Mariners. 🙄

MAGA be like "he has a plan, he's playing chess not checkers" and the whole time he's literally just playing golf.

Go home basketball - you're drunk. 😲

Trump is not done attacking our elections. He and his supporters plot every day to undermine the right to vote. They are constantly looking for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in the election system. This is their top priority. The question for us is whether it is ours as well.

Terrible over the back call 😔

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril. Keep threatening Americans. The protests will only get bigger. Trump is hated. Musk is hated. The political winds have shifted. People are fed up. This is only the beginning.
