“Anticonstitutional" - Language matters, and we need to start using this word.

Lorenz: If you're going to talk about death and violence, it's crucial to talk about the death and violence of our health care system.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection told CNBC they collected more than $500 million from Donald Trump’s latest tariffs, well below what he promised. The stock market lost over $1.5 TRILLION just today. Donald Trump's administration is a disaster.

A reminder that there is no human being in the United States whom it would be legal to disappear to a Salvadoran prison without due process of law.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

In a new worst-case estimate, Goldman Sachs says reduced travel and boycotts could cost the U.S. almost $90 billion in lost GDP this year alone. “When it comes to [Trump] and Marco Rubio's war on tourism, it's Americans that are going to pay the price,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

She's lying. But if he's so bad, why did Trump grant him legal status in 2019? Cause she's lying and won't say it under oath

Bondi is escalating the rhetoric against Abrego Garcia, who she calls "one of the top MS-13 members" and "a terrorist"

What a totally not-misogynistic not-white-supremacist coincidence.

On April 16, 1862, Lincoln signed the DC Compensated Emancipation Act, ending slavery in the capital & freeing 3,000+ people, months before the Emancipation Proclamation. It paid slaveholders for the slaves that were freed. 126 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

‼️PROOF POSITIVE KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA NEVER WAS A PART OF MS-13‼️ ‼️HE NEVER HAD A CRIMINAL RECORD‼️ ‼️SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING DOUBTERS AND LATINO HATERS‼️ ‼️BRING KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA HOME NOW‼️

ICE is trying to kidnap children right out of schools. They refuse to show their ID. They refuse to be accountable. Call your legislators now to support #USDemocracy 1 (202) 224-3121

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now. We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done. We will rally every corner of the U.S. We will not stop until they actually vote no.

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

“There isn't a single part of the entire thing that stands up to the smallest amount of scrutiny. The whole thing, the entire enterprise is just sheer lawlessness,” says Chris Hayes.

Ben Wittes, Roger Parloff, Quinta Jurecic, & Anna Bower, I would be glad to make a “Champion” contribution toward the $15,000 match by your generous donor. Lawfare is literally indispensable in these historic times in which we live.

Very interesting development at the Defense Department. Can't speak for Carroll, but Dan Caldwell and Darin Selnick have been two of Pete Hegseth's closest advisors for more than a decade. He wasn't stabbed in the back by deep state operatives. His friends turned on him.

No one should be deported to a prison in another country without due process.

. Korea’s parliament vowed to impeach their president every single week until his party stopped covering for him or he resigned in disgrace. No other business got done. Meanwhile in America, we’re just…vibing through the collapse. 🥴 .

A whistleblower says Elon Musk’s DOGE team accessed confidential NLRB data on union activity—raising alarms about intimidation tactics that could silence workers. This isn’t just overreach. It’s a threat to workers labor rights. seiu.co/44qGyEs

The President of El Salvador referred to having to “smuggle” Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man with no criminal record, back into the US. Odd, how Romania didn't have to “smuggle” alleged rapist and sex trafficker Andrew Tate back into the United States. Trump facilitated that Trump fan's return.

Senator Chris Van Hollen says that he hasn’t been able to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia nor has he been able to have a phone call with him. He doesn’t know his health status. Unacceptable. El Salvador needs to show proof of life!!!!!

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

Whoa

Since the beginning I’ve said that Elon and his DOGE tech bros know the real value in pillaging these federal agencies is in the data, but not to raid your bank accounts. It’s to influence the outcome of our elections.

This is some scary shit—and everyone needs to pay attention because it could affect any one of us. Rachel Maddow & NPR just blew the lid off Musk’s DOGE team. A whistleblower at the NLRB says they accessed data without authorization and breached security. The potential motive is pretty shocking. 🧵

Trump administration sues Maine over participation of transgender athletes in girls sports. Let’s concentrate on this and allow the Tate brothers, the human traffickers to run free. #MomSky #Voices4Victory apnews.com/article/main...
