A more innocent time, before the threat of penguins forced his hand

Voters are fed up with gimmicks and out-of-touch leadership in the Senate - and Mallory McMorrow gets it. Our democracy is under threat, and this moment demands urgency and courage to save it. That’s why Mallory is stepping up. 1/ apnews.com/article/mall...

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Congress....do something!

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

During the presidential campaign, I wrote an op-ed about how Trump’s proposed policies would be bad for ocean science and conservation, and senior members of my field told me I was being unprofessional. Thinking about them as I read a news story called “the darkest day in scientific history.”

If there was ever a symbol of why we need to get big money out of politics, reform campaign financing, stop conflicts of interest, and tax great wealth, Elon Musk is it. Kudos to Susan Crawford on this big victory for democracy, labor rights, and reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.

Now that Trump has scrubbed all legit climate info from US government websites and wants to convince us that climate change is good, Nature’s newest research journal — Nature Climate Denial — is the place to publish your best work on how CO₂ is plant food and more extreme weather events is good.

Tomorrow we open our APSA Grad Support Fund applications up for the quarter. We anticipate that we will be able to fully fund 8 applications for each quarter in the April 2025 cycle but I would love to support more students this month. Please consider donating! connect.apsanet.org/graduate/gra...

Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites. Make a plan to vote early today — don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

New story from me: Imani* was in class when she discovered a scholarship program she relied on had been shut down. “I don’t come from wealth ... Ending the program puts a burden on individuals who don't have it like most of the wealthy people here at the University of Michigan"

Anyone with any regard whatsoever for the Constitution should recognize how fundamentally at odds this is with our values and should be deeply repulsed regardless of political leanings. The arrest of Rumeysa Ozturk may serve as the canary in the coal mine for the First Amendment. Full statement ⬇️

I'll be making another round of calls to my GOP reps today, and it's easy messaging: Are they strong and patriotic enough to stand up and protect our military? Or do they cower in submission to Trump? (we know the answer already, but this is an important time to show opposition)

The Phoenix officers who beat and arrested a deaf man with cerebral palsy will receive 24-hour, unpaid suspensions and more training as punishment

NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR. This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

JD Vance is now officially the most disliked new Vice President in American history, according to data.

Most of the people in power have never had to fight for anything, and it shows.
