1/ The number of protests planned for tomorrow is enormous. Given what Trump has done to the economy, and everyone's collective ability to pay for household expenses/retirement I'd expect them to be huge. Find out more at handsoff2025.com

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

THE APPRENTICE started the ball rolling, taking the Trump who'd become a punchline in the 1990s and turning him into a carefully-crafted fiction. TV made him. Highly recommend @poniewozik.bsky.social's AUDIENCE OF ONE here.

I’m proud that my own Cato Institute is among the groups signing a cross-ideological amicus brief in the Perkins Coie case. Our country’s liberty is in dire peril if a would-be strongman can destroy a law firm for having stood up to him personally or the federal government he heads.

Decades of misinformation has left the American populace ignorant of the world and how anything works. Like the cuts across HHS, CDC, FDA. How do we get people to understand we are soft fleshy villagers constantly under attack by invisible monsters, and we just fired all the wizards and witchers?

Scenes from the HHS bloodbath 🧵 Some layoff notices went out by email last night or early this a.m. But some people showed up today at FDA and only found out they were fired when their badges didn't work -- or when they were pulled out of line to enter by security, Gestapo-style.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these: 1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps. 2. We decide who enemies are. 3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos. /1

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."

The details are so much worse. In her French op-ed, she explains that the issue raised was that she had a table that showed Gaza as having had the highest number of “humanitarian victims” of 2024. Her merely acknowledging the fact that Gazans are being mass murdered was a problem.
