Former Republican. Was a never-trumper even before he ran for office. As bad as I thought things would be under donald, sadly they’ve turned out far worse. And we’ve yet to see the bottom. #NeverForgetJ6 #HandsOff

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Cinco de Mayo parades in Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Jose have been canceled due to organizers' concerns about ICE raids and anti-immigrant sentiment, as community members fear attending.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

They are eating the stocks , they are eating the retirement accounts.

The United States sent possibly innocent men to a foreign prison without a hearing ... and put a convicted felon who led a violent coup against the Constitution in the White House.

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Damn right!

They saw the iceberg, stayed on deck, and lit cigars to watch the ship sink the “others.” Woopsie.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Well played.

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE

Correct.

Some major public institutions in Canada, including a pension management firm and a leading hospital, are advising staff against traveling to the US.

Maybe it’s just me, but we’ve been in a Constitutional crisis ever since the orange felon plotted a seditious coup against the United States as well as committed espionage and wasn’t sent to jail, so him ignoring the Supreme Court is yet another lawless action taken by a tyrant.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Who else SUPPORTS Senator Van Hollen?! 🤚

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

This is the answer. Stand together.

This is the dollar since “liberation day”

I keep puzzling over how Rubio thinks it'll bring PROSPERITY to kidnap gay hairdressers based on their tattoos & then pay $20K/year to detain them in a slave camp. We could have spent that $6M on supporting trade with Congo instead, but Rubio has decided torture is better for profits?

World leaders have responded to russia's brutal attack on Sumy, condemning the aggressive act, expressing their condolences, and calling for increased pressure on the terrorist state. We thank them for their support. #StandWithUkraine

Marco Rubio has ensured his place in history for war crimes.

If torching a Swastikar is considered terrorism now, surely torching Josh Shapiro’s home will be considered the same.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

Oof. We’ve fallen so far, so fast.

Nothing to worry about, just a corruption investigation target trying to get people to buy the FBI director's book www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/n...

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

Seems pretty clear that doge is a total scam

Imagine the epic cognitive deficit you must suffer in order to believe that Trump is an effective businessman or negotiator.

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

Arrest Noem and Homan for contempt of court. Detain TFN.

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.

The most dangerous gang in America. DT-47.
