Rather than cite “DEI”—write out the words. Diversity Equity Inclusion Because if you’re against DEI, THAT’S what you’re against. Don’t let folks hide behind the initials.

A very, very good question.

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Reminder: this is the same plan Russian operatives offered to Paul Manafort in exchange for their help getting Trump elected in 2016. (See Manafort’s testimony in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report.)

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

Good morning everyone Tomorrow Night Congressman Juan Ciscomoni refuses to have a TownHall !! Tucson will host our OWN with these great people Senator MARK KELLY Congressman Greg Stanton Mayor Regina Romero Senator CORY BOOKER And My SHERO GABBY GIFFORDS This is how it's done

Frost: I come from Florida. See, Project 2025 is Florida 2024. We’ve seen this, but we also know how to deal with it. When they disappear, a college student, you take to the streets. When they steal your Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid, you take to the streets.

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

100%. It really is time to go there. Again.

As a GAO stan, I am delighted to tell you: The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is auditing Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) www.wired.com/story/gao-a...

Reliable long-term weather forecasting is key to protecting communities from extreme weather. I’m proud to re-introduce the FORECAST Act with Senator Wicker. This bill ensures public health, safety, and peace of mind when there are disasters on our doorstep. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...

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

‘3 lessons from this confrontation should not be lost on us: - Democracy doesn’t defend itself; - An attack on one entity never stops there; - If you stand up to bullies, who often are unprepared or unqualified to defend their position,chances of winning are high.’ open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate": "While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

If the US government requires passports for you to practice your rights such as voting then passports should be provided for free to all and within a reasonable timeframe by said government.

You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light squared. Then you Energy.

The failure isn’t the insane President. The failure is all the supposedly sane people pretending he’s not.

Trump has cut the part of the FDA that notifies doctors and the public when there is a safety problem with a drug or a medical device. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

"NC lawmakers postpone vote to ban DEI in state government, as protesters pack state House..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTqa...

I joined @maddow.msnbc.com to discuss how Trump/DOGE are impacting Social Security recipients in AZ. I refuse to let an authoritarian administration override the rule of law and destroy critical services. Report Social Security disruptions at www.azag.gov/socialsecurity. youtu.be/4RFBjhPIn0U?...

Fabletics is posting a “Tariff Surcharge” on their receipts. I hope other companies follow suit.

False. American federalism divides power between the national and state governments. It’s the basis of our system of government. Remarkable how states rights has suddenly vanished…

Call your congressperson, senators. House switchboard: 202-225-3121 Senate switchboard: 202-224-3121 Of find your representatives here and call them directly: www.congress.gov/members/find... Then put their office numbers in speed dial.

Stop with THEIR framing. It's not "combating antisemitism." (And I say this as a Jewish atheist.) It's criminalizing free speech.

This is incredibly dangerous. If he can get away with this he will open a flood gate of targeted investigations of private citizens. We are stepping through the looking glass of fascism in real time! Congress needs to act immediately.

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.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Again, for those of you who have Republican representatives and senators, this is the time to call them and demand they take action. They're feeling the heat already, but throw some gas on the fire for them.

The media has not reported on Trump’s mental health. At the very least, his chronic bullying is a sign of a significant mental health issue. Other candidates were rejected (Eagleton) because they sought treatment. Untreated issues also need to be investigated.

Pundits are - in vain - looking to economics and politics when trying to explain Trump's behavior. But, in reality, the central place to look if we want to understand Trump and his policies is this: The psychology of dominance. 🧵(1/5)
