Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

During a debate titled "One Christian vs. Twenty Atheists," Jordan Peterson loses by forgetting what side he’s on

Do your job, Sean.

once again my full throated support and endorsement for any democrat who pursues criminal legal accountability for the DOGE boys. and i’d be fine with shipping these guys to the Hague

Study finds after Burundi abolished school fees in 2005, girls gained 1.22 more years of education. For very-low income girls, 1 additional year of school reduced teenage motherhood by 7%. Wealthier households likely already ensured education for daughters. theconversation.com/does-free-sc...

Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful. Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

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.

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy. But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole. Why? Because an algorithm said so. 1/

COMPARE: the results of fighting back to the results of not fighting back

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

ChatGPT ass presidency

They are now estimating 2.3 million across the country. Keep it going folks. #handsoff #50501protests

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

remembering fondly when people were like "don't promote 50501, it's not real, it's a psyop"

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

CHICAGO…

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

Be like Rosemary #HandsOff #April5

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

Narrator: "It did not make them rich."

Your tariff rate is your star sign divided by the number of boys you've kissed, multiplied by one

Finally *liberated* from a strong economy, record stock market, and historically low unemployment.

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE This was before the tariffs It's just...unbelievable

There is now reporting that the Department of Homeland Security has deported the wrong person due to “administrative error.” This is a massive violation of people’s rights and due process. Must be fixed.

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Time to look into jury nullification

Holy F🇨🇦cking Handmaid's Tale. If you like FREEDOM for ALL in Canada🇨🇦, make sure to get off your ass and VOTE!!!

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

An estimated 200,000 people took to the streets this weekend to protest with @teslatakedown.com and others. Just wait until you see the turnout on April 5th. The people are rising.
