Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Trump’s waiting by the phone for Xi Jinping to call. But Beijing’s not blinking — and they’ve got more than just tariffs in their playbook. They can block US companies, squeeze rare earth exports, dump Treasuries, and hit our farmers hard. China’s playing the long game & Trump doesn’t even know it.

#SouthCarolina ! LFG!

Stand up for our children, our teachers, our schools, our universities, and the workers that are threatened. And, for the love of all that is human, stand up for Head Start. www.dayofactionforhighered.org/agenda

🧵Important (if long) piece, explaining why it's a serious mistake for lawyers, etc. to play the appeasement game with Trump in hopes of currying favor. His goal isn't merely to bring individuals to heel. It's to CRUSH an entire class of society!... 🎁 Article: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

But, no worries! You can click & follow every one of these accounts with absolutely no penalties! ✅

Another day, another set of truly insane tariff decisions by the Trump administration. Main Street over Wall Street? Yeah, not so much.

We are the people. One movement. All of us. Let’s keep the pressure on. #politics #powertothepeople #pennsylvania #buckscountypa #reels

Super important info MI peeps. If you know of any MI residents who have had any issues with Social Security, please have them complete this document. 💙💙💙

FEMA ending programs that will have SC in limbo. These projects produce receipts to get their money refunded. So knowing FEMA has approved the spending allows us to confidently spend. We'll we can no longer trust the US government to keep their word because of 47. #ThisIsNotNormal

Add your name to the petition to demand the Office of Government Ethics investigate Trump, his family, the administration, and all members of Congress for any unethical recent market trades! sign.moveon.org/petitions/di...

🧵. Kudos for putting this together. How can we keep putting a decade or a century (this week) into a week? If this is what Einstein was talking about with his theory of relativity, I think he nailed it.

1/ The SSA was just moved to X for official updates—because DOGE teens slashed comms staff. Only 138,000 follow SSA on X. Meanwhile, 73 million rely on benefits. Most are seniors, not social media users. This isn’t modernization—it’s Muskification. federalnewsnetwork.com/agency-overs...

🧵 I’m back with your nightly synopsis of WTF, America?! From voter suppression in Ohio to Trump’s war on immigrants and public services, the cruelty is relentless, the chaos is coordinated—and we are not imagining it. Let’s break it down, piece by piece.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Important analysis from the good folks at @waytowinus.bsky.social: The 2020 Biden voters who skipped ‘24 are crucial to rebuilding a winning Democratic coalition. Base mobilization and swing voter persuasion aren't opposing strategies—they work hand in hand. To win in 2026 we will need both.

The Senate is the only available block to this travesty going into full effect. How does your Senator stand on it? Better find out very soon or you may no longer have the ability to vote for a Senator.
