"It's a shame, horrible thing." MOMENTS AGO: Trump responds about shooting at Florida State University

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...

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE.

Leavitt: "Abrego Garcia was a foreign terrorist. He is an MS-13 gang member. He was engaged in human trafficking." (The White House hasn't provided evidence for any of these claims ... )

DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers. Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla. The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

This is the first year that Francisco has harvested mandarin oranges. He's working near Sanger CA and shares: The work is dangerous. I've seen other workers get injured so I'm very careful. The pay is low but I do it as my family depends on me. #WeFeedYou

You cannot legally send Americans to an El Salvadorian prison no matter what they have done. Plain and simple.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s top adviser, Dan Caldwell, was escorted out of the Pentagon after being identified in a leaks probe.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall in Cobb County, Georgia ends as a protester yells "free Kilmar!" 🍿

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.

A federal judge just ordered intensive expedited discovery into Trump’s illegal deportation of Abrego Garcia. The latest:

Shout out for this US district judge, Paula Xinis. She has slammed the Trump administration for its inaction in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man wrongfully deported to El Salvador, demanding immediate steps to bring him back. Very proud of this judge, with her Greek ancestry. 💙

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

What’s one subtle detail you always include in your stories that most readers might not notice, but you know it’s there? A symbol, a color, a recurring phrase, a pattern in dialogue… The hidden thread that ties your worlds together. #writingcommunity #BookSky #writerslife

Remember the Big Ball, one of the Hackers worked for a Criminal hacker group. All he has to do is tell them. Oh yeah, there's a back door there and this is the key.

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

Now do the NRA

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Don't forget…👇 Absolutely NO Walmart from today through April 14th… And then, the TrumpTarriffs with China will set in, and completely destroy Wally World. Enjoy. 😎✨

Think about how much of an entitled prick you’d have to be to think calling other human beings “peasants” when you’re the Vice President is an ok thing to do. The world’s worst diplomat strikes again. Also: we don’t borrow money from them. That is nonsense.

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

To no one's surprise, MAGA congressmen are now quoting Goebbels on live TV. #USPOL #PoliSky

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true? BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country Q: So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime? BONDI: *leaves*

They. Are. A. Driving. Disaster. ✨

Even if you don't play golf, you'll enjoy this! 😉 youtu.be/9LLNGyFm1hE?...

Yes, yes, it is.

“It's still unclear whether the company — which reported a staggering $400 million loss in 2024, while only netting a pitiful $3.6 million revenue — will realize the mass sale of millions of shares. But even just the suggestion appears to have spooked investors.” futurism.com/truth-social...

So. Much. Winning. 😎✨

He also, told Billionaires and other it's a buyers Market.

I will NEVER forgive those of you who put him in power and did this to us… Never.

Interesting choice of words in the government’s SCOTUS application, which refers to Abrego Garcia as an “enemy alien.” The government has claimed that Garcia was removed under the Immigration and Nationality Act, **not** the Alien Enemies Act. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
