No American should have to give up their right to privacy just because they’re traveling.

Some things are worth repeating: Social Security is an EARNED benefit that WE, the American people, pay into. It should not be a political punching bag. Hands all the way off.

Something has changed. People are fired up and ready to stop the chaos and cruelty. Keep it up.

🔥 WATCH: Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social & @votegloriaj.bsky.social rip @repmarkcochran’s latest hateful anti-LGBTQ pronouns bill Jones says Mark is “obsessed”, “Madame Cochran” wouldn’t like it coming his way, and “it’s giving projection” — while Gloria literally drops the mic 🎤

Watch out for the whistleblower story reported April 15 by NPR. Bombshell interview by Rachel Maddow same evening.

THIS!!! There is no privilege here!

On April 16, 1862, Lincoln signed the DC Compensated Emancipation Act, ending slavery in the capital & freeing 3,000+ people, months before the Emancipation Proclamation. It paid slaveholders for the slaves that were freed. 126 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

Republicans are running away from Town Hall meetings. House Democrats are leaning into them. #Democracy

Elon claimed he’d save the government $1 TRILLION by Sept. 30. Now he’s admitting his “efficiency” team is falling short — 85% short. Sure doesn’t sound like efficiency to me.

BREAKING 🚨: Target $TGT on track for 11 consecutive red weeks, its longest losing streak in history 📉

Sen Van Hollen met with El Salvador's Vice President FĂŠlix Ulloa, who told him that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump admin is paying them to do so. They also provided no evidence that Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13 or committed any crimes.

IDK I think white men see the writing on the wall where they're being outperformed in universities and now they want to shut them down or control them without any qualifications.

If rights like free speech and due process only apply to some people, then they aren’t really rights, and we are no longer a nation of laws.

Karoline Leavitt, "China needs to make a deal with us, we don't have to make a deal with them" "China wants what we have, what every country wants, what we have, the American consumer" "Or to put it another way they need our money"

The projection is off the charts here

•••••BREAKING••••• Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen just completed a presser in El Salvador. •Sen. Van Hollen made it abundantly clear that the Trump administration has repeatedly lied about Kilmar Abrego García. Indisputable truths: Abrego García was in the U.S. legally, he has absolutely no gang…

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Missed a spot

Let me get this straight... Republican congressmen are allowed to take vanity tours in CECOT prison in El Salvador, but Senator Chris Van Hollen is denied entry to check on the welfare of his wrongly imprisoned constituent?

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

This is the leadership we need!

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

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.

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

I just met with the Vice President of El Salvador as we fight for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I’m speaking to the press now with the latest on our efforts. Tune in here:

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

All of these men are being illegally detained in a foreign gulag. They weren't deported. They were illegally imprisoned. This is the face of fascism. Look at it.

Exclusive: El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele plans to double the size of the maximum-security prison where his government is holding U.S. deportees

As a Columbia alumnus (MA, MPhil, PhD), it’s hard right now to recommend the school to immigrants, with ambitions of academic freedoms and Nobel Prizes — graduates and faculty have won 88 of them — given it cares more about appeasing the Government than about academic integrity.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

Wow… @aoc.bsky.social, a House member who isn’t in leadership and has a safe seat, raised $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Huge.

This is from the Oprah show in 1996 featuring Jane Elliott.

The only thing missing from the reporting is what Trump said to the heads of these law firms: "Some day, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me."

The Women’s Bureau has been doing the work for over a century — the only agency focused on women in the workforce. And now somebody thinks it’s time to gut it? Absolutely not. I joined 50 of my colleagues in urging the Department of Labor to stand with women workers and protect it.

Montana showing up!!!

The Social Security website keeps crashing so people can't access their benefits portal. Some Americans even got error messages saying they aren't getting payments at all. What's DOGE's response? Fire half of the Social Security tech team. I'm pushing back.

To Elon Musk and the other billionaires in Trump’s cabinet, no — Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. It’s a PROMISE to the American people. On this Social Security Day of Action and every day, we are fighting like hell to keep that promise.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump think they can punish people for expressing views they disagree with. Well guess what: that's not how the First Amendment works. I salute Harvard and all those who are resisting Trump's political blackmail and bullying. And shame on those who are not.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.
