We are at a dangerous, dangerous moment in US history, where the President of the United States is threatening to send US citizens to be imprisoned by a foreign ally, and the foreign ally is saying it won't respect an US court orders to release people that it's holding.

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

NEW: The govt has filed it's daily status report on Abrego Garcia. ICE official Evan Katz declares Abrego Garcia was removed illegally, but that's okay now because the government has declared he's a member of MS13, and they have no further updates. WOW. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The problem is, none of this is breaking through to ‘regular’ low-information people. If we don’t figure out how to do that quickly, I’m not sure we have a chance to stop this momentum.

Jefferson Griffin is asking North Carolina's courts to retroactively change election rules and throw out 65k ballots so he can win a seat on the state Supreme Court. It's time for federal courts to step in and end his nonsense. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Arson at the home of the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania on the first night of Passover. Seems like the Trump administration might be looking for anti-Semitism in all the wrong places.

Not an easy decision. I strongly believe in supporting journalism, especially local journalism, and am a longtime subscriber; but I cannot support Gannett and their choice to throw their values under the bus to appease a wannabe dictator.

One man in CECOT "doesn’t even know that his child’s been born," his lawyer said. Another has muscular dystrophy affecting his right arm, per a court filing. The facts fit "every definition of an enforced disappearance under international law," an attorney told me. www.huffpost.com/entry/cecot-...

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

Here’s a problem: The President’s negotiations with foreign heads of state are covered by executive privilege. So if Trump tells the court, “I tried but there’s nothing I can do,” there’s no way to review or verify what he actually did (if anything).
