@franifio.bsky.social and I break down the Trump Administration's horrific lies about Abrego Garcia, defiance of the Supreme Court, and doubling down on racism and cruelty. Watch us tonight.

If you love your library, listen up…

MIT following Harvard's lead here

There we go.

Watching @aoc.bsky.social inspire a packed Idaho Center. Can’t wait to #feelthebern after her.

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE

Well played.

Wow! HHS is hitting new levels of recklessness and incompetence… U.S. citizens are being threatened with deportation by Homeland Security. Nicole Micheroni isn’t just a citizen—she’s an immigration attorney. And she got a notice to leave the country within 7 days.

The US economy is set to lose billions of dollars in revenue in 2025 from a pullback in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products.

AOC in Idaho! #fightoligarchy

BREAKING: From the UK 🇬🇧 Medical science is discovering a new fact when it comes to Covid vaccines. Apparently, in individuals who were vaccinated and had a booster; studies have show they are 50%-65% less likely to have a heart attack or stroke compared to those who are unvaccinated. Enjoy. 😎✨

Listen and learn from those who know the truth. We cannot let this happen to US citizens AGAIN!!

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Prosecutors say the operation was aimed at gathering information to foil lawsuits against the fossil fuel industry over damage communities have faced from climate change.

I am disappointed that today I’m paying taxes to fund government efforts to stop preventing disease and starvation overseas rather than paying taxes to support government efforts to prevent disease and starvation overseas.

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences? A sociopath.

Now is the last moment to act before we tip over and drown into the abyss of fascism. Now is the time to put everything on the line. Whatever it takes. #freeKilmar

🚨BREAKING: A group of law students, represented by Democracy Forward, filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from gaining access to sensitive personal information. Paige and I discuss the courage of these students and the ongoing assault on the legal profession. youtu.be/NTP3Agz4K4Q

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

🚨ATTENTION CDC AND ALLIES!🚨 We have power together. To see our strength and build community, we ask that you wear something 💚green💚 to work on WEDNESDAY to show solidarity and readiness to defend public health. Please spread the word! #courageiscontagious #wearthecolor #spreadthecolor

So I spent the afternoon writing an appeal letter to my insurance begging them to approve the medication that keeps me alive. It's been denied twice, this is the final appeal.

A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump issued a sharp rebuke tonight of his administration’s sweeping spending cuts — and a defense of the judiciary’s obligation to ensure the executive branch follows the law. “Here, the government failed to do so.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

Judge Xinis in Tuesday eve order homes in on key issue: "Abrego Garcia appears to remain inexplicably detained in CECOT." She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”

Oh SNAP!!

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

The Senator will be my guest tonight on @allinwithchris.bsky.social

DOOCY: Deporting American citizens to Central American prisons -- is it legal? LEAVITT: Well, it's another question that the president has raised. It's a legal question that the president is looking into.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Someone with a Russian IP address used a DOGE account to attempt to login to the NLRB computer system.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

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

Shocking actually…👇 Always. Raise. Your. Kids. Right. ✨

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

Hey US Military, Now is a good time for a coup. You swore an oath to the Constitution, not a person. Keep your oath. This is the domestic enemy part of that oath.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy Harvard & others must counter this quickly The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value

Idaho's abortion ban does not prevent doctors from performing abortions when a pregnant woman's life is in danger, even if her death is "neither imminent nor assured," a judge has ruled reut.rs/4ihGQRg

The GREED is off the charts

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

An update on our three co-equal branches of government: The Executive and the Judiciary are butting heads while the Legislative has its head firmly up its own butt.
