I just got back from a couple days in Montreal and the city is wonderful but it's a little weird being around unarmed citizens with healthcare who understand three syllable words.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex Canada and has started a trade war with them, bringing relations with our neighbor to their lowest point in any of our lifetimes. If you think it's okay to confirm his ambassador anyway, you lack the gravity to serve in any office, much less U.S. Senator.

Wall Street keeps begging. Ackman keeps tongue bathing. Time they realize the only deliverance is Democrats and enough Republicans stripping Trump of all his (already frankly illegal) tariff powers. It’s a simple vote. Trump isn’t the one they need to beg or threaten.

Massive #HandsOff protest in St. Paul, MN. #April5 Metro Transit put on extra trains, but they were still packed! Some of my favorite signs and attempts to show the crowd size.

Incredibly moving. 1000s of Lithuanians lined the streets of the capital Vilnius yesterday to honor the four US soldiers killed on their soil. As their bodies are repatriated to the US, their President will be nowhere to be seen, except on a Florida golf course. (📸 Gedinimas Varvuolis)

Three states were told their federal library grants have been terminated. Several others told @usatoday.com they are halting some programs, like ebooks access, in case their grants end too. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs isn't justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, a top Republican from farm-heavy Iowa, is spearheading a bill that would limit the president's power to impose tariffs amid Trump's trade war escalation.

One of the best Downfall takeoffs I’ve ever seen. The subtitles are simply brilliant.

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.

Trump has already damaged the economy with his abysmal foreign policy and loyalty to special interests, but the worst is yet to come. Trump’s “Day of Liberation” will be remembered like Black Tuesday. He will own the destruction that follows.

1/ Elon Musk’s fake watchdog “DOGE” claims it saved taxpayers $55 billion. But the numbers are pure fiction. They inflated an $8M contract into $8B, took credit for Biden-era cuts, and reposted debunked data. This isn’t oversight. It’s a scam. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue
