“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

Princeton also sides with Harvard. Acting Columbia President Claire Shipman has reversed course given the Trump administration letter to them saying they will not accept a demand “to require us to relinquish our independence and autonomy.” www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg Finds Probable Cause to Hold Trump Administration in Criminal Contempt. Boasberg has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt of court for defying his previous order to turn around deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act.

Breakdown of what just happened. Judge Boasberg 1) Finds probable cause of Trump officials' criminal contempt of his order to turn back flights. 2) Gives USG opportunity to "purge" the contempt. 3) If not and if DOJ will not prosecute, he "will appoint another attorney to prosecute the contempt."

If The US is taking in record numbers of tariffs that means that consumers in the US are paying a record number on products purchased from other countries. The money collected from tariffs is YOUR money. There's no way to put a tax on a product and have that product go down in price.

Whew! Sen Chuck Grassley’s town hall should be a wake-up call for Trump & Republicans. Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it. This is Iowa!

Marilu Mendez says when ICE vehicles began following her and her husband and then surrounded their car, she took out her cell phone and started recording. Her video shows an ICE agent using a large hammer to break the back passenger window of their car.

Word around town has FOTUS backing MTG to run against Jon Ossoff for his senate seat. So, I invite MTG’s fans to go to an Ossoff town hall & ask questions. You’ll get answers, not tasers.

My @georgetakei.bsky.social charcoal drawing Why?? Because I love him 💜

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the United States government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia home from prison in El Salvador. Donald Trump is blatantly ignoring and denying the ruling. Yes, we are in a constitutional crisis.

Great question.

Cutting the Bureau of Intl Labor Affairs is not just short-sighted—it’s illegal. We strongly support the new lawsuit submitted by the @solidaritycenter.bsky.social and allies, challenging @dol.gov’s termination of programs that level the playing field for US workers. aflcio.org/press/releas...

WATCH: WILLIAMSON COUNTY has been fighting for years to get the Confederate Flag off their county seal, but Sons of Confederate Veterans have stalled the process. Now Rep. Wright has a bill to make removing it even harder- but claims not to know how it impacts that fight🤔 (House floor tomorrow)

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

#Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 The Convicted Felon talks about deporting our “home grown criminals!” Honey, no one is a textbook home grown criminal like Trump! Follow his orders, ICE! Disappear Donald J Trump!

Chris Van Hollen isn’t playing games. If Kilmar Garcia isn’t released by midweek, he’s flying to El Salvador himself to demand answers. This is the kind of bold, no-BS leadership we need right now. @vanhollen.senate.gov

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

I'm so sick of the have yacht's getting all the benefits from our federal government while the have not's are stuck footing the bill. The concentration f wealth at the top is unsustainable and trickle-down economics has never worked. Tell MAGA Republicans NO #BillionaireTaxBailout

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Many pay through what’s called an ITIN, a tax-processing number issued by the IRS to ensure that people—including undocumented immigrants—pay taxes even if they do not have a Social Security number and regardless of their immigration status: www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/fac... #TaxDay

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held hostage by a foreign autocrat with the approval of the Trump Administration and in defiance of the United States Supreme Court. Democrats will not stand by. Democratic leaders will travel to El Salvador in defense of the rule of law in the U.S.

The convicted felon president is ignoring a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to bring back wrongly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Philadelphians said NO to a king almost 250 years ago & we say NO again today – I call on the president to follow his oath to the Constitution & #BringHimBack!

47; acting on our behalf, is paying a foreign dictator to commit the human rights violations that are forbidden in our country by our adherence to international agreements we made with the free world and contrary to our own Constitution. This is the definition of abuse of power. Impeach him now...

Vermont is enraged that the Trump administration is sending masked men to snatch up legal residents to essentially disappear them with no evidence. Good people across this country are standing up and resisting. I don't recognize America at this point. Release Mohsen Mahdawi NOW.

We are still mourning the loss of Rep. Raul Grijalva, who lost his fight with cancer on March 13. But his daughter Adelita is ready to take up the fight for justice, equality and opportunity. Donate, Support, Elect Adelita Grijalva AZ 7th Congressional District Primary July 15 Election Sept. 23

Harvard standing up to the bully 👍👍 This should be a model for other schools! Giving in to their ridiculous demands does not mean that they won't mess with you. (Columbia University can attest to this)

I'm Kyle Sweetser, and I'm running for the U.S. Senate It's time to send Tommy Tuberville back to Florida and send someone to Washington who will actually fight for Alabama.

Here is where MAGA has gotten us to.

The impact of the GOP tax scam: Republicans are working to kick grandparents out of nursing homes, threaten coverage for 2 in every 5 births, hike grocery bills for millions, & raise monthly student loan bills. All to pay for tax breaks for billionaires & big corporations. #BillionaireTaxBailout

If you make less than $14,000/year, you pay: $1,125 a year. Less than 38K it will cost you $430 a year. But. Get this: If you make MORE than $650,000 a year. . . You get a gift of $43,500! A gift from the grifter. Do you feel left out? THIS — is personal! #BillionaireTaxBailout

Support and Defend.....Do not be quiet....

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

#ProudBlue This is a super easy, quick way to make your voice heard. Send the text - NO to the SAVE Act!

When a government asserts the power to ship you to a foreign prison, with no hope of review or release—what exactly are your obligations to that government?

I DARE you to tell me this isn’t accurate. NO. LIES. DETECTED. #MAGABlowingYourTaxes

🤣

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror
