The Case Zablocki Act literally requires the text of any agreements the executive branch enters into with foreign states to be PUBLISHED ON THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE WEBSITE within 120 days of going into effect (thanks, @bcfinucane.bsky.social for the reference!) www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Art of the Deal!

As many as 8 in 10 married women have changed their surname & no longer have birth certificates or passports to match their current legal name. The SAVE Act will strip these women of voting rights. In Virginia alone 1.8 million. In 50 States??? Tell your Senators. Oppose SAVE Act now: bit.ly/4hZ7BK7

Not too long ago they also made the vast majority of our antibiotics. Terrifyingly stupid of demented Orange Julius Caesar

he picked the wrong enemy here. he can’t bully china into submission — they have the upper hand.

What if there was an opposition party that just said "If you give us a majority in congress we'll remove these freaks and criminals from power"

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Congress has the power to stop this economic chaos right now. Here’s the plan to end Trump’s game of red-light, green-light with worldwide tariffs:

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Couldn't be more obvious!

Make Habeas Corpus Real: You Have Garcia’s Body, President Bukele. Now Bring Him Home, Hopefully Alive and Well.

"The 2024 election wasn’t a restaurant where you could order cheaper eggs but politely ask for the server to hold the fascism. You’re still getting the fascism, and your eggs aren’t just overpriced now, they’re broken and rotten." -- @playtyperguy.com

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

It’s a good time to cancel your Prime subscription if you haven’t already

So the felon in chief is demanding that Amazon stop selling books that reveal the truth about him. And watch Bezos bend the knee. Amazon will cave. They all will. Whiteness has exposed itself to be hollow and thin skinned. The tyrant will never stop demanding more and more of your soul.

The SAVE Act will go to the U.S. Senate next-make sure you call your Senators and tell them to oppose this bill. Call them daily until it comes up for a vote, if you can! They are trying to suppress the vote of marginalized people!

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

The real question is....when will we hold him accountable???

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

Do any of these apply to you? 🔲 Married 🔲 Divorced 🔲 Adopted 🔲 Elderly 🔲 Disabled 🔲 Active-duty 🔲 Stationed abroad 🔲 First-time voter 🔲 Don't live in a city 🔲 Don't have a passport You should know about the SAVE Act.

@schumer.senate.gov DO NOT vote for cloture on the SAVE Act. Use the damn filibuster and kill that blatant attempt to suppress the vote!

@kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social please filibuster this if necessary. It’s yet another assault on free & fair elections

Except we’re still dangling w/10% tariffs across the board and an insane trade war w/China

#TrumpTariffs #TrumpMarketCrash

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

All Of This….

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.

Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs today — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune. It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning. ~ Robert Reich

Agreed. Congress, do your damn job!

Democratic House Rep. Don Beyer to Jamieson Greer: "You have a most awful job trying to convince us and the people we represent that the president's trade policies are wise and measured, when the truth is they are stupid and bad." Nailed it! 🔥

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Donald Trump may be an arrogant man who dines by candlelight with his wealthy donors while his shortsighted policies burn down our economy. But he is not a king and Congress is not powerless. We can act to stop him, and we should.

The last time there was this much on-again off-again turmoil over tariffs in America, we revolted against the king over it — and won.
