Can’t wait for the updated exhibits at the Holocaust Museum that explain how hiding Jews in basements violated Dutch health and safety codes

BREAKING: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell says the Trump administration's tariffs are likely to raise inflation and slow U.S. economic growth.

Here's my quick take on what's happening in Jeff City: ❌ Unconstitutional bill to force Ten Commandments in every classroom 🧐 ✅ Bipartisan legislation to keep teams, jobs & millions of tax 💵 in MO! ✅ Let’s Go Royals!!! 🧢⚾️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=SH9I...

While Trump bankrupted companies, Carney became the first to lead the central banks of two major economies. This takedown of Trump’s tariffs is savage🔥 “I’ve seen this movie before. I know exactly what is going to happen to them. America will get weaker. We are going to get stronger.” #ElbowsUp🇨🇦

TAPPER: You're imposing a 10% on the Heard and MccDonald islands. They have zero human inhabitants. Why are you putting tariffs on islands entirely populated by penguins? ROLLINS: Whatever. Listen, the people leading this are serious, intentional, patriotic, the smartest I've ever worked with.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Large crowd of protesters in Omaha, Nebraska at the Hands Off! protest! Love to see it!!!!

We’re launching the People’s Cabinet—a group of leaders, experts, and everyday Americans who will cut through Trump’s lies and speak directly to the people. Stay tuned for more.

"Hands Off" protest in Orange, Orange County, California today.

#handsoff Topeka KS

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

It was obvious to anyone not captured by phony tribal allegiances and wish-casting analysis that Trump’s second term would bear no resemblance to his first, when he was constrained by the serious people around him. It was clear it would be Laura Loomer all the way down.

Via New York Times: “The DOJ prosecutor who questioned the Trump administration’s decision to deport a Maryland man to El Salvador has been placed on indefinite paid leave for a “failure to zealously advocate” for the department — less than 24 hours after defending the gov’t in federal court.”

Hey @walshfreedom.bsky.social, friend of yours?

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

DOGE has now turned its sights on a small agency that provides support for community programs in every state. The National Endowment for the Humanities, which funds museums, historic sites, libraries, educators and media outlets across the country, has been told to slash staff by 70-80 percent.🧵

Finally some good news! Thanks to everyone who raised the alarm

Protests show that people are paying attention. Protests show that people aren’t going to go along with things. Protests matter.

The Detroit Hands Off protest today stretched for miles, it was so powerful when we all realized that we were seeing the front of the protest looping back on the opposite side of the street when were 1.5 miles from the end. Glad a friend got video on her way to work, it really shows the scale.

A 50% reciprocal trade tariff on Lesotho, the highest levy on President Donald Trump's long list of target economies, will kill the tiny Southern African kingdom that Trump ridiculed last month, an economic analyst there said reut.rs/4joDEVb

I think our next set of events should be called something like “Rallies for America.”

A quick 🧵of the incredible sights in cities across the USA right now. Millions are on the street speaking out against Trump & Musk trampling the Constitution. Let’s start here with Salt Lake City 😳👏 #HandsOff #HandsOff2025 #FiftyFiftyOne (📸Nate Blouin)

A+ community note.

#HandsOff rally at the Texas Capitol draws the biggest crowd I've seen here all year. Yet.

Behind every fallen hero is someone who loved them deeply and lost them forever. Today, we honor Gold Star Spouses—for their courage, their sacrifice, and their love that never fades.

Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.

When these many people show up in Boise, Idaho for a protest, it means something We are going to win

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Salt Lake City showed up

Justice Riggs won her election for the NC Supreme Court. Republicans are trying to steal it.

Trump's tariffs are running the economy into the ground.  Congress can reverse them—but instead, Republicans are full steam ahead on their disastrous plan to give more tax breaks to billionaires. The Republican Party platform is pro-billionaire and pro-recession.

Late Friday night and into Saturday morning, the U.S. Senate passed a major budget resolution after a rare overnight session. The budget framework supporting President Donald Trump's agenda passed 51-48 mostly along party lines, with opposition from all Democrats and two Republican senators.

Omar: They want you to think it is ok to snatch people in the middle of the night and disappear them.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans around the country are showing up for democracy today and standing against Trump and Musk’s reckless agenda!

So proud of Trump stronghold Knoxville, TN for a massive turnout that stretches at least six city blocks! cc @hcrichardson.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

Wow Chicago! #HandsOff #FiftyFiftyOne (🎥 Marco Foster)

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump admin violated a court order by halting FEMA's disbursement of millions of dollars in grant funding to states.
