I’m grateful to hear the esteemed Judge Luttig on @lastword.msnbc.com with @velshi.bsky.social tonight. His strong & clear words abt our constitutional crisis were both terrifying & a relief to see it so clearly. It’s not “we’re almost in a cc” - we are there. @judgeluttig.bsky.social

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

This is a team sport. Sometimes, everyone agrees on a strategy you have concerns about. I’ve voted with less than 10 people multiple times. But let’s be clear — there’s nothing heroic or admirable about green-lighting a billionaire takeover of our country. In these moments, our unity is our power.

More, from a source at EPA: "I'm so angry that the Dems are caving on the funding bill. This is their only point of leverage and they don't have the guts to use it... If they aren't willing to draw the line in the sand now...they are feckless, weak, and useless."

Trump administration sent Columbia a letter. All they have to do to get back funding is launch a university-wide pogrom against all their Arab students who do not pledge eternal fealty to Trump & forbid any Middle Eastern studies going forward. This is purest extortion, like a mob boss shakedown.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

President Trump expected to invoke a wartime authority (Alien Enemies Act) to deport immigrants without due process. Wartime? And yet: "The Department of Defense is not expected to have a role in the invoking of the authority." Because it's not a war. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

From @democracydocket.com: "The Trump Administration must immediately offer reinstatement to thousands of probationary federal workers who were recently unlawfully fired, a federal judge ruled Thursday." I'd describe the judge's findings as "searing." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, we, the American people, demand you stand with Senate Dems voting NO on the CR & Cloture. NO blank checks for Trump & Musk. NO gutting funds that help families eat while billionaires cheat the system. Stand up for us! Hold the damn line!

@schiff.senate.gov is holding the line: hard pass on the CR. No capitulation to MAGA Republicans. Every Senate Dem must do the same. @schumer.senate.gov hear this: if you or any other Dem votes yes, we won’t forgive & we won’t forget. We will hold you accountable. #HoldTheLine

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff
