.@NewYorkStateAG is a true American SHero! “I will not be silenced. I will not be bullied. I will not bend. I will not break. And I will not bow to anyone.” We’re with you, AG James! 🔥No fear. All fire.

It is time for Trump to put up or shut up in Court. A FEDERAL JUDGE said “no evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any criminal organization.” No one is vouching for one man. We are standing up for EVERYONE’s right to due process under the Constitution.

Good morning from … {checks notes} … the Supreme Court of the United States

Judge Amy Berman Jackson has suspended efforts to implement large-scale terminations at CFPB until she rules on whether it’s a violation of her injunction against dismantling the agency.

The Trump administration wants this confrontation with the courts. No other way to read this. He’s trying to break government.

The Trump administration is ending a program that helps veterans from losing their homes. Shameful.

Nothing to see here. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/18/r...

WSJ: “.. So that morning, when Navarro was .. in a different part of the White House, Bessent and Lutnick made their move .. “.. They rushed to the Oval Office to .. propose a pause .. “.. They stayed until Trump tapped out a Truth Social post ..” 🤡 www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

“It’s not just that Trump’s … deporting people w/o due process. He’s deporting people w/o due process because he needs to sustain false claims about them, to sustain a myth about invasion … Stephen Miller used to get Trump elected.” @emptywheel.bsky.social ⬇️: www.emptywheel.net/2025/04/18/t...

Location data is always sensitive–no matter where you’re going. Tell your lawmakers: It’s time to end location surveillance and the exploitation of our personal data.

Mass protests planned all over the country this Saturday. At least 500 events, organizers are hoping that millions will again turn out. You can find events near you via @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com

Getting whiplash seeing Judge Wilkinson's opinion like 'how dare the government do this horrific obviously unconstitutional shit, my fellow Americans you in danger and I won't stand for it' and then seeing Judge James Ho's opinion like 'how dare judges apply the law to the man who can promote me?'

'It’s time': Conservative calls for 'comprehensive national civic uprising' against Trump https://twp.ai/4ilhPn

The tax cut for one billionaire could pay for this. Something to remember when kids die from this.

When the regime talks about kidnapping people because they might be violent someday, I wish the press would always note they also released without hesitation people with a history of legal run ins who were violent on January 6th and unrepentant about it.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Sure wd like to hear what our Senior Counterterrorism Director Sebastian Gorka wd say about anyone who protested if ICE rounded up his son Paul. Would he call them terrorists, as he has those who demand Abrego García be brought back from oblivion in El Salvador? www.commondreams.org/news/donald-...

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Are they still throwing him a black tie dinner where he gets to veto the entertainment and not even show up? Support pro-democracy, independent media.

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

A Reagan-appointed judge just issued a scathing rebuke of the government’s actions in the Abrego Garcia case, warning of a constitutional crisis and executive overreach. This ruling is stunning—because it had to be. #WilkinsonDecision #RuleOfLaw #AbregoGarcia #FourthCircuit #LegalNews

Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.

With Harvard, U Mass faculty, Princeton, Wesleyan, Rutgers faculty and others leading the way, academics are standing up to this lawless administration. Here is a pack of academics, former academics, and organizations worth following on Bluesky who are in this opposition go.bsky.app/5hEmcTw

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

In lieu of a New piece, I've decided to publish my June 2018 talk at the University of Manchester on Monetary Sovereignty and treating it as a "Spectrum" even as we emphasize Dollar dominance over the global financial system. I think it will be helpful to readers www.crisesnotes.com/june2018manc...

American Oversight put together a timeline showing how participants in the Waltz/Hegseth Signal chat continued to make changes AFTER Judge Boasberg ordered them to preserve the chat. But that's ALSO after Wicker and Reed asked DOD IG to investigate. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Bukele just posted this on X, suggesting he arranged a meeting between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Chris Van Hollen. He then used it to mock his critics for expressing concern about Mr. Abrego. If these photos are real, it suggests diplomatic pressure worked, despite his "I'm not mad" attitude.

A common characteristic of concentration camps is that they're controlled by governments and leaders who simultaneously want to use them to terrorize targeted groups while also pretending that the people running them are decent people not harming anyone and acting only in the public interest.

My story breaking this news exclusively was 7K+ words and had almost all of this in it, and more: www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

HAMILTON COUNTY: “Did y’all’s vote have anything to do with the $1000 Bo Watson gave you?” Seems all 3 school board members (Schaffer, Hadden, Slater) who abstained from a 8-0 vote against Senator Bo Watson’s bill to bully undocumented kids out of schools got campaign checks from Bo.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Trump admin to cut 90 percent of CFPB in latest layoffs: Reports https://twp.ai/4ilhWw

The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:

This is amazing www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Every day, it just gets worse. Now Elon’s staff is moving to hide their actions — by secretly using Starlink.
