Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador presidentā€™s statements today, weā€™re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

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."

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.

šŸšØBREAKING: A group of law students, represented by Democracy Forward, filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from gaining access to sensitive personal information. Paige and I discuss the courage of these students and the ongoing assault on the legal profession. youtu.be/NTP3Agz4K4Q

Poilievre is saying that unless we do consecutive sentences for multiple murders, you get ā€œ4 years of jail time per murder.ā€ ā€œThatā€™s insaneā€ he says. Itā€™s actually a lie. They donā€™t get out. They get a hearing, and the murderers heā€™s talking about donā€™t get parole in Canada. Heā€™s rage-farming.

Good morning!

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Oh šŸ‘‡šŸ½

Good morning!

šŸšØHouse Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 millionĀ marriedĀ American women. Under the SAVE Act, women who took theirĀ spouseā€™sĀ last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

"See you in court." The State of Maine sued the Trump administration on Monday, starting the legal fight that Gov. Janet Mills promised in an exchange with President Trump at the White House.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court says the government must facilitate the RETURN of Abrego Garcia from El Salvador to the United States. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Republicans just passed a budget that guts Medicaid, SNAP, veteransā€™ benefits, and free school lunches. They swore they'd fix the economyā€”but this sure as hell ainā€™t it.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ā€œItā€™s the most extraordinary attack on voting rights in American history,ā€ Wilentz said. ā€œThis is an attempt to destroy American democracy as we know it. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

This is not a surprise.

New from mešŸ‘‡ In 2026, the fight to control the House and Senate will stretch from Minnesota to Florida and coast to coast. We are likely to see competitive Senate races in Alaska, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina and Ohio. The House map will be even more expansive ā€” likely spanning over 30 states.

ā€œThey were careless peopleā€¦they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessnessā€¦and let other people clean up the mess they had madeā€¦ā€ -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Republicans think slashing and tearing things apart is the solution to everythingā€”especially immigration. But mass deportation isnā€™t a plan. Itā€™s dangerousā€”and it leads to innocent U.S. citizens being deported. Just another example of them having no real planā€”only concepts of one.

Republicans pulled their budget voteā€”surprise! Theyā€™re too busy fighting each other to govern. They might be split on the math, but they agree on this: cutting services for working families & rewarding billionaires. This ainā€™t a budgetā€”itā€™s a blueprint to rob the people.

YAY!!!!

"Two big law firms that have come under attack by the Trump administration filed court papers on Tuesday seeking to permanently block executive orders that threaten their businesses and ability to represent clients in matters involving the federal government." šŸ‘šŸ‘

The House Judiciary Committee is wasting time on a hearing called ā€˜Sanctuary Jurisdictions: Magnet for Migrants, Cover for Criminals.ā€™ Iā€™ll be there to set the record straight: itā€™s Trumpā€™s reckless immigration policies that are endangering our communitiesā€”not sanctuary cities.

Donald Trump knows that he owns these cowardly law firms. Here are a few recommendations: Paul Weiss can litigate to bring children back in the mines. Milbank can challenge clean air rules. Willkie Farr can lead on spoiling the water. Skadden is perfect to break the unions. Shameful all.

No, Rep. Jasmine Crockett didn't collect dead grandmother's Social Security checks www.snopes.com/fact-check/j...

...the claim is completely fabricated....This isnā€™t an isolated incident. Variations of the other false DOGE narrative have also targeted Democratic Reps. Jasmine Crockett and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, accusing themā€”again, falselyā€”of cashing Social Security checks for deceased relatives.

This morning, the markets are UP 1,200 points in the first 30 minutes. How many billionaires just got even more filthy rich by buying low over the past few days, and selling now? #manipulation #itsallagrift

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

One at a timeā€¦

Do you agree?
