🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS Trump executive order seeking to impose proof of citizenship requirement for voter registration. Big victory for our clients DNC, DSCC, DCCC, DGA, Sen. Schumer and Cong. Jeffries. www.democracydocket.com/cases/washin...

My favorite image of Pope Francis, always the pastor. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Francis was the best Pope of my lifetime. He occupied the top of a powerful hierarchy while still challenging it. He provided a moral reminder of the values of decency, humility and empathy towards the vulnerable in a role, and at a time, where it easy to lose sight of those values.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

This is how you do it. The "Mutual Academic Defense Compact". The moral imperative may be to fight... but the strategic imperative is to not fight alone: www.gazettenet.com/UMass-Amhers...

"A federal judge on Tuesday blocked" Trump's "retribution campaign" against Susman Godfrey and others, calling it "'a shocking abuse of power....While I wish other firms were not capitulating as readily, I admire firms like Susman for standing up and challenging it.'” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

This is a 12 alarm fire for the economy. If being friends with the president and giving him kickbacks makes you exempt from large import taxes Vs your competitors, it will stratify the whole economy and push corruption and loyalty and political controls deep into the private sector

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

Sean Patrick Maloney you are NOT the messenger anyone needs now. So many words, zero effect.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Hey everyone Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Waltz, Marco Rubio and JD Vance endangered our service members by discussing war plans on an illegal Signal chat that was so insecure that a reporter from the Atlantic read the whole thing as it happened. They all need to resign. #SignalGate

Reddit is flooded with small businesses owners getting crushed by tariffs — devastated by the thought of raising prices, firing workers, or closing up shop entirely.

“It took 75 days of Donald Trump’s second presidency for voters to hit the streets en masse. Millions of people showed up this weekend for more than 1,200 anti-Trump demonstrations—all of them peaceful—throughout all 50 states, from Alaska to Alabama to Arizona.” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

I didn’t want this to happen. I voted for the smart black lady.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Nelo’s first protest. ❤️ #handsoff

Hands off the rights of the disabled.

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Cory Booker. That’s the post. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering
