Two headlines in the New York Times today.

We’re winning in Court every day because the Constitution is on the side of Due Process. Of course Thomas and Alito continue to act like mob judges, so keep fighting for the Constitution everyone. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Live from #Trenton NJ #NJProtest On the anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, hundreds of protestors assemble at the NJ Capitol to protest this unlawful administration, as well as attacks on election integrity through the #SAVEact #FuckTrump Organized by @nj50501.bsky.social

Been to COVID.gov recently? #covid #rfkjr

I just - and I can't stress this enough - really can't.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

"These are not separate battles. This is a single effort to undo the parts of the civilizational order that might restrain Trump’s acquisition of power." I mean, he's spot on and the only one who seems to be saying it.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Rep. Tom Kean, Jr. (R) - A Tax Day reminder from one of our NJ Indivisibles! #NJ7

Mohsen Mahdawi, who has been a green-card holder for 10 years, was detained at an ICE field center in Vermont while appearing for a naturalization test — a key step on the path to U.S. citizenship. wapo.st/3Y36270

The CMS Health Equity conference is unsurprisingly cancelled this year, so in lieu of meeting coverage I'm looking to speak with leaders for The American Journal of Managed Care, whether from CMS or public health, managed care, etc. They can cancel the meeting but they can't erase your work. #AJMC

Thank you, Mario and @lastweektonight.com for bringing us the only good thing in 2025 thus far. I didn't know I needed these fish love songs about the fish doorbell in the Netherlands.

In America, Black women are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy complications. As a proud member of the Black Maternal Health Caucus, I’m fighting to eliminate these health disparities and create a more equitable health care system for all. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek

President Donald Trump on Friday announced that he had reached agreements with five more law firms pledging to provide a combined $600 million in legal services for causes he supports, the latest deals firms have struck with him in apparent bids to avoid punishment.

Childhood didn't prepare me for the reality that the emperor could be naked, people could point out that the emperor was clearly naked, and the people committed to complimenting his clothes would never stop.

Maybe it's just me but I feel very sad that the United States has a #measles tracker in 2025, when we have had a vaccine that is 97% effective for over 50 years. www.nbcnews.com/data-graphic...

Very good @statnews.com overview of the twisting trail of Republicans first opposing limits on freedom of choice using SNAP dollars, now echoing RFK Jr on soda restrictions. While anti-hunger advocates worry that soda is the gateway to shutting off federal food aid. www.statnews.com/2025/04/09/s...

Interesting. Wonder if this is prologue for a heroic last minute decision to actually appear at the hearing he was called to tomorrow. Am I putting too much thought here? Really hard to tell these days

Sixty-one media organizations and press freedom advocates filed an amicus brief warning of the chilling effect on First Amendment rights.

Y'all are going to be begging for DEI to come back. Because this is peak whiteness right now, and it's looking pretty damn inept.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

During COVID, we learned the hard way that nearly all our hospital PPE i.e. masks, gowns, gloves comes from China. A 104% tariff could send us straight back to pandemic-level shortages or drive healthcare costs even higher.🫠

I have a trade deficit with Walmart. I buy all my groceries from them, but they never buy anything from me. So I’ve decided to set 20% of what I spend with them on fire to encourage me to make my own groceries.

April 19th Nationwide We Rally once again , fighting for our Democracy, Upholding our Constitution & Bringing back POWER TO THE PEOPLE. We will not let this treasonous, authoritarian Rule be allowed within OUR COUNTRY. We will not let this pass , because WE ARE NOT A MOMENT, WE ARE A MOVEMENT. ✊🏼🇺🇸✨️

Booker: "The worse thing you can do is piss off a New Jerseyan."
