Congress could stop Trump’s tariff policy at a stroke. This story is ultimately not about presidential power, but about congressional weakness.

Donald Trump is burning down the world’s economy just so he can have his ego stroked. It’s lunacy that Republicans in Congress are allowing it.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Donald Trump is very clearly intent on destroying the US, yet we still see almost no one in authority willing to acknowledge it. And he’s made a terrifying amount of progress towards this goal in less than three months.

the biggest journalistic failure in U.S. history was the total institutional unwillingness to clearly communicate to the public that this guy operates at a third grade reading level and genuinely has no idea how anything works

The courts should put an immediate and unequivocal halt to all use of the CECOT prison in El Salvador, with or without due process. They may not do that. But the people of the US still can. Don't lose of sight of this atrocity amidst the other outrages. Make this a key focus of resistance.

It's not about immigration. It's not about gang activity. It's about the Trump administration seeking the absolute power to send anyone they see fit — citizens included – without due process on one way trips to overseas concentration camps from which no one ever returns.

Trump wants to go back to the golden age of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory is a more accurate characaterization - again based on his own repeated statements - than whatever wishcasting others are doing.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

The government is snatching people off the streets and shipping them to foreign prisons from which, the government claims, they can never be extracted. All with no due process. It’s as bad as it gets. And this court is again avoiding the reality of what’s happening at all costs.

WATCH: Even Rep. Gino Bulso (R) — an attorney, sponsor of the “Trump Act” (which failed)— agrees EVERYONE is entitled to due process 60 Minutes reports 75% of those Trump sent to an El Salvador mega-prison had no criminal record, yet he is resisting judge’s orders to reverse it

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

NONE of these people should have been deported without due process. The 5th Amendment clearly says “No person shall…be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” Not “no citizen.” No PERSON. Bring them all back and give them their rights.

The purpose of the anti-trans movement is to distract Americans from real problems in their life. Nothing else. As the problems the GOP create get bigger, the anti-trans arguments must get bigger too. What Tuberville says here is absurd to the point of parody. Maximal stupidity, at our expense.

"Nazis used trains, ICE uses planes" is one of the most powerful statements I've seen.

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York. But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

This detail - that the kids are leaving cards on their missing classmates’ desks - is so hopeful but so heartbreaking. We’re traumatizing all these kids for no reason but hate. Important reporting from @marisakabas.bsky.social www.thehandbasket.co/p/sackets-ha...

Debunking “nature versus nurture”, a thread. Different people in a population carry variations in their DNA; the science of genetics makes it possible to assess if/how that correlates with individual differences in any observable trait, from medical conditions to aspects of cognition/behaviour.🧪1/9

The question everyone should be asking: Who benefits from Trump alienating our allies and tanking the global economy by slapping tariffs on the whole world (except Russia)? Because it isn’t you. And it isn’t anyone who is rooting for us. 🇺🇸 foreignpolicy.com/2025/04/03/t...

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.
