As markets melt down around the world, Congress could act right now to prevent an economic collapse before markets open on Monday. The only thing standing in the way is a few spineless Republicans.

Republicans in Congress are hoping you won’t pay attention to them for the next 36 hours. Why? Because they're pushing through their unpopular plan that gives tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations and leaves everyone else in the dirt. youtube.com/shorts/RZ-nl...

If you're protesting on Saturday, please wear a cap and mask to protect your identity from the cult. Also, it was suggested to me that you should write the phone number of the ACLU First Defense Legal Aid on your arm. That number is 1-800-529-7374 in case anything happens.

The viper doesn’t care if people go hungry. He doesn’t care if children die from preventable diseases. He doesn’t care about the elderly or hardworking Americans or even his own family and supporters. This is about revenge and spite and evil. You cannot appeal to his humanity because he has none.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

Trump’s changes to Social Security will slash 7,000 jobs, shut down offices, and make folks jump through hoops to get what they’ve already earned. Seniors, disabled people, and rural communities—y’all are the target. This is not efficiency, it’s straight-up cruelty.

🧵 Those of you who dont know, in the Constitution; "the right to peaceably assemble & the right of the people to petition the government for a redress of grievances" is in the 1st Amendment. The Bill of Rights,the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. Four pages,you can find it on the internet.🧵

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Thank you, @maddow.msnbc.com, for highlighting what the people are doing across the country; not the leaders, but the PEOPLE, with their constant town halls and protests. If our democracy can be saved, it will be these heroes that do it.

The klan, the police, the butcher, baker and candlestick maker in every little Southern hamlet used to disappear Black people too. When they didn't step off the street. When they whistled. When they bought a new suit and stood too straight. Fascism isn't new here. It's coming for you too.

Dear journalists: stop giving this administration the benefit of the doubt. Stop using old editorial standards and practices and norms. Assume that everything they say from the get-go is a lie because it always, always, is.

Agree. So Trump/Russia bullying Ukraine into submission for Putin’s benefit is a strategy with limits. "I'm convinced that they [Ukrainians] will fight with their bare hands if they have to, if they don't have terms that are acceptable to an enduring peace." -CIA Director Ratcliffe

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security. They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

Do not listen to bullies. U.S. military planes arrived in Greenland at a U.S. military base — bc the PM REFUSED to meet them. Delegation includes Congressman Mike Waltz, who plan to make the islanders “an offer they can’t refuse.” HOW is this not an act of war?! This is how they annexed Hawaii.

More than 70% of Republican voters oppose cuts to Medicaid. 100% of House Republicans voted to cut Medicaid. That’s not acting as representatives of the people – it’s acting like Trump-Musk employees.

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”
