@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "You've got so much that's manufactured south of the border. And then the final assembly is done north of the border... Those relationships took decades to build. He's destroying them in real time. But he's destroying the most important commodity... and that's trust."

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

I agree, it's not right.

Fox News has resorted to just straight up lying about Abrego Garcia, who has never been convicted or even charged with a crime

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

I hope most of you tuned in to listen to Heather Cox Richardson at Old North Church- to her gripping telling of our revolutionary past and the call to always just do “the next right thing” , “no matter how small.” #Standup, #Speakup vimeo.com/event/5056560

here's today's post: "trade wars are easy to lose — especially when you’re a dumbfuck" — nice going, idiots. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

🚨News: A prominent author reached out to me about how the Trump administration tried to denaturalize her father-in-law and end his social security benefits and Medicare. Her family speaks English and was able advocate for him. But what about those that can’t?

John Roberts, you up?

WTAF!!

The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:

Meiselas: A 20-year-old American citizen was being held by ICE. Protests happened all day, and as public pressure mounted… This guy is an American citizen. But the public pressure was so intense that the Trump regime folded. He was released

🚨🚨🚨

Just a reminder: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lacks formal education or professional credentials in critical scientific fields such as biology, neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, immunology, virology, epidemiology, genetics, pharmacology, or medicine.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

"There seems to be a change in the air." On the eve of #April19, as we prepare again to take to the streets, capitals, & town halls across the country in unity, there is hope, both in the echoes of our history and in the potential of the present. Read this & be ready to stand with us tomorrow ✊️

More love between the Russian and South African oligarchs who dominate Trumpworld.

Comes with a side of ignorance about autistic kids.

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

Thank you to Rep. Jasmine Crockett for the pep talk we all needed the other night! Turns out being your loud, real (and slightly chaotic) self is actually a superpower. Your voice already matters, so go ahead and use it!

live now:

MAGA doesn’t care about antisemitism. Pretending to care about it is just blaming Jews for MAGA’s own abuse of power.

Trump found a better way to hurt North Carolina than eliminating FEMA. Every MAGA voter there owns this.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

This is good news. But reporters, please stop just repeating that this task force has anything to do with stopping antisemitism. It is about closing universities and about fomenting antisemitism. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Every day, it just gets worse. Now Elon’s staff is moving to hide their actions — by secretly using Starlink.

Ukraine carries to grave the victims of russia’s Palm Sunday “mistake”. Father, mother and son. The family was on their way to church. They put a soccer ball into the son’s casket. The boy loved soccer. #StandWithUkraine #Sumy

Hi All, just sent out this free piece. Trump is actively working with Putin to see Ukrainian civilians killed, some now and more in the future. He is depriving Ukraine of vital anti air defense, which the Ukrainians are willing to buy (helping the US economy) open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Trump’s plan to gut the VA will leave thousands of veterans without access to the health care they need, and will devastate an entire workforce. I was proud to join nurses in San Diego to stand up for our veterans.

"Surprise, Surprise, Surprise." What a brave guy.

Counterterrorism Czar: Opposing Trump’s policies is aiding and abetting terrorists — a felony. Your reminder that Hitler’s first concentration camp, Dachau, was built to imprison leaders of political, social, and cultural movements who opposed the Nazis.

Let's show them that #SouthCarolina is not as red as Lindsay Graham and Nancy Mace would have us believe.

Call your senator's local offices to tell them to vote NO on the SAVE Act. They are on recess and should be available at home. #scpol

Republicans propose compromise to reinstate SC’s private school voucher program www.wistv.com/2025/04/16/r... Tax dollars are for public schools only!

Tyranny relies on obedience. They want us to fear them. They expect our silence. But we will never bow. Join us on 4/19.

New in PN: White guy DEI "Pretending that Hegseth got nominated on merit is ridiculous, but it’s a fiction conservatives have all agreed to adopt. To admit he’s not qualified would mean acknowledging that straight white maleness does not automatically confer expertise."

Trump admin claims: Thursday: Abrego Garcia is a top MS-13 terrorist Friday: Abrego Garcia killed JFK Saturday: Abrego Garcia is the head of ISIS Sunday: Abrego Garcia piloted all 3 planes on 9/11 Monday: Abrego Garcia ran the Fyre Festival Tuesday: Abrego Garcia beat Riley Gaines at a swim meet

Never forget.
