Head Start helps give millions of kids in this country a better shot at success. Eliminating this lifeline to fund tax cuts for billionaires is a new level of cruel. If Republicans and Trump jam their budget through, our children will pay the price.

The worst form of addiction that this country now faces is the greed of the oligarchy.

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

“ICE Ambushed Mohsen Mahdawi in a 'Trap' and Had a 'Clear Plan to Ship Him to Louisiana'” The Palestinian Columbia student’s legal team says Mahdawi signed a pledge to defend the Constitution, reports Prem Thakker for Zeteo, and then ICE showed up.

Trump’s efforts to deport migrant farm workers will only disrupt families, raise food prices and put more pressure on struggling family farms. It is exactly the wrong approach. The time is long overdue for real immigration reform and a path to citizenship for migrant workers.

Go to hell

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

WHO ELSE AGREES WITH BARBRA?! 🤚

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to create a national registry of people with autism. Register this, wormbrain.

It's long past time for Pete Hegseth to do the right thing for his country, and resign. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Seriously.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

They're scared..

Do. Your. Job.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Judge Boasberg’s opinion in JGG v. Trump (4/16/25) is a masterpiece of judicial reasoning. He explains exactly why our legal system couldn’t survive tolerating willful defiance of clear judicial orders — even if those orders are ultimately overturned on appeal. The Supreme Court will have to agree.

The Trump administration is violating the right to due process

Not a single American voted for this but also: they’re not hiding their fascism, are they?

People living in China are trolling Trump over his tariff dumbfuckery — and I'm here for it. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

Musk don't work 🍆

Trump’s war on law firms and universities is a profound abuse of power. This is a key front in the battle to prevent him from solidifying an authoritarian regime.

“Weeks after the DeSantis administration steered $10 million from a Medicaid settlement to a charity spearheaded by the first lady, the Hope Florida Foundation sent $5 million apiece to two separate organizations that gave millions to a political committee waging an anti-marijuana campaign”

Trump's trade war, explained by Margot Robbie

Poor Elise. The troll job here is 🔥 China has no fucks to give🤣

Trump crashes the U.S. economy and folds on tariffs with nothing to show for it. open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

Terrorism. 🦋🦋🦋

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

BREAKING: I just called for unanimous consent to pass a simple resolution to condemn Donald Trump and Elon Musk firing thousands of Veterans—and demand that they give our heroes their jobs back. Republicans blocked it.

#Felon47 is claiming these countries in the trade war are kissing his ass to make a deal. Everything we eat and use will skyrocket in price, especially prescription drugs. Seniors like me are on the losing end. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

The biggest fu*king embarrassment in our nations history. And Trump can kiss my _____! In the words of Congress member Gregory Meeks, “I’m from New York, I’ve seen him go bankrupt six times. He’s not a good businessman and we plenty of proof of that.”

And then there's this.

Former president Barack Obama called on universities and law firms to stand up to intimidation from President Donald Trump’s administration and urged Americans to prepare to “possibly sacrifice” in support of democratic values.

•••••••ALERT••••••• Republicans in North Carolina are doing everything in their power to disenfranchise lawful voters and steal an election. The NCGOP is trying to steal a seat on the state Supreme Court. Republican Jefferson Griffin lost the 2024 Supreme Court race to Democratic incumbent…

But, let’s not mince words. The threat we face is vast, coordinated and dangerous. Trump doesn’t run a normal administration — those follow the law. He runs a regime that’s wreaking havoc on our economy, democracy and national security and meant to enrich and protect himself and his friends.

Saturday newsletter: The Week Trump Crashed You don’t need me to tell you that Donald Trump had a ghastly week. But I will anyway. By the COB Friday — after the worst 2-day wipeout in history — the stock market had lost $11 trillion since Inauguration Day. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

While Trump and Elon Musk take a chainsaw to vital services and rip away resources that millions of Americans rely on— Musk himself is lining his pockets with new government contracts left and right. Republicans' response? A budget that encourages this corrupt agenda.
