I stopped over on Twitter this morning and broke the bad news to all of the insurrectionists. 😆

Valid visa and now gone. BTW, she was here to SAVE LIVES. Doctor and Professor Is Deported to Lebanon Despite a Judge’s Order www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

After the president’s unlawful and unprecedented invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, a judge issued a nationwide temporary restraining order in Democracy Forward's case with our partners at @aclu.org & @aclu-dc.bsky.social. Full statement to follow.

Here’s Elon cutting pediatric brain cancer research 👇🏻

Trump is dismantling democracy right in front of us. He operates on the principle that people will think that if he does it openly and in public, there can't be anything wrong with it. Do not be deceived.

Huge march in New York today protesting the illegal DOGE cuts

Protesters outside of the U.S. embassy in Nuuk, Greenland against Donald Trump. No means no, Donald! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

His mother says he has been tortured by authorities at the airport. The reason, if any, for his detention is not known.

A French University is funding a Safe Place For Science program meant to recruit scientists who cannot continue their work in the US. www.univ-amu.fr/fr/public/a...

SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1927...

Schumer's alternative to the shutdown was a 30 day extension. Process. What setting clear priorities. Here is a sample: 1. No more firings or office closures at the Social Security Administration. 2. Restore funding for cancer research. 3. Don't require DC to lay off teachers mid-school year

#OTD in 1973, John McCain was released after over five years in North Vietnamese captivity. He refused early release until his fellow POWs were freed. John McCain is a great American hero.

Judge orders Trump administration to reinstate thousands of fired employees at VA, Defense Department and other agencies www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/p...

No one ever said they were creative.

Walz: I own this. We wouldn’t be in this mess if we'd have won the election and we didn't. We have to make sure that Americans know it's not just that Donald Trump is bad, but we're offering them something better

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.

This is really good political communication, because it's forceful but also pedagogical on the fundamental issue, but also because while he mentions the audience's potential reaction to Khalil's views, he doesn't try to pander by distancing himself from them.

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

Donald Trump is plunging our nation into a possible recession. If our economy tanks—it’s one person’s fault: Donald Trump. Hold the line. Hold him accountable.

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

They're eating your Medicare. They're eating your Social Security. They're eating the funds of the people who paid into them.

When do we start seeing the tsunami of litigation and lawsuits, cause it feels like those must be building up…

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

For those supporting this obscene violation of due process and expansion of governmental overreach to detain and deport legal residents without due process, please research authoritarian regimes. Today they'll use it against a group you don't like, but it will be turned on you tomorrow.

It’s hard to believe that this legislation even needed to be introduced. It will be telling to see who votes it down.

CALIFORNIA WATER UPDATE: The Army Corps knew the water wouldn’t reach LA—but they followed Trump’s orders and dumped it anyway. He wasted billions of gallons for a photo op. Hope farmers don’t ask where their precious water went when they need it this summer—the clown they voted for sabotaged them.

DOJ is removing experienced, non-political career lawyers in key positions. Yesterday was ethics. Today, it’s national security. This does not bode well for good government or public safety.

200 or so folks out in Dedham, MA joining others around the country mobilizing against DOGE, and the role of an unelected billionaire in destroying jobs and our futures. #TeslaTakeDown #workersoverbillionaires

After the women’s march many of us headed over to the west side Tesla dealership. No Apartheid Clyde! He has breached our Social Security and Bank Data! #nyc

Vandal strikes Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, renames it "Fat Nixon" www.thealtmedia.com/p/vandal-str...

Curious that all the places Trump wants to annex would be geographically convenient for a Russian partner in annexation.

If you are spending any time attacking Democrats rather than focusing on what Republicans are doing to destroy our democracy then you are wasting value time.

The moral depravity of offering refuge to South African farmers in the United States while simultaneously stripping Ukrainians of their TPS is almost beyond my ability to comprehend.

Judge John J. McConnell Jr. of the Federal District Court for the District of Rhode Island extended an order preventing the Trump administration from withholding billions in congressionally approved funds to 22 states and the District of Columbia.

Great job, MAGA!

Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

Al Green after he was THROWN out of chambers: “I was making it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid” "It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility. " #SOTU

JPMorgan's David Kelly on tariffs: am.jpmorgan.com/us/en/asset-...

He's already given the markets explosive diarrhea and nobody around him has the guts to get this demented moron to stop the carnage.

If you’re a professor in a classroom today & you don’t mention this, I believe you’re doing your students a profound disservice. This is targeted 1st at international students, but it’s deliberately broad enough to lay groundwork for a scene Trump & Hegseth have fantasized: troops on campus.

Democrats put Elon Musk’s quote about Social Security to Joe Rogan on a poster and brought it to a press conference.

*ONTARIO'S FORD DETAILS PLAN TO RETALIATE TO US TARIFFS *ONTARIO WILL STOP NICKEL SHIPMENTS GOING INTO US: PREMIER FORD

you know it's bad when Tom Nichols taps out

The deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament and a leading member of Netanyahu’s party calling for the bombing of food stocks in Gaza just a few hours ago. You won’t see this mentioned by any European or American leaders, or by most western media.
