🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

OH BOY!💙🇺🇲

I love this nugget about Harvard from @hcrichardson.bsky.social: It turned its website into "a defense of the medical research" Trump threatens to cut, including advances in cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, transplants and much more, with essays and photos. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

#Ohio make sure you call now! I was just reading there are groups who want the death penalty for any abortions. Please make your calls, write your representatives now. This is dangerous because it’s the first stages of figuring out lists to follow through with it. #womensrights #womenshealthcare

I’m grateful @governor.pa.gov and his family are safe after a terrible attack — which was particularly horrific for a Jewish family on the first night of Passover. Hate and violence have no place in our country.

FAFO…👇 I guess he forgot that KARMA keeps receipts, huh?! Clarence. Is. A. Traitor. ✨

Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.

A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant. Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court. Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene. If they can do it to her, they can do it to you. Speak out now!

Bernie & AOC LIVE L.A. FIGHTING OLIGARCHY! RIGHT NOW!! 💙🇺🇲 www.youtube.com/live/mU_GhbF...

"Our parents are actively fighting for our country for us to be able to have these rights..." www.military.com/daily-news/2...

"It's a waste," one laid-off FDA official said. "You already have employees who can come back, and can come in and make it run. But you're going to get someone to come in, train them? ...You're going to delay the whole process of safeguarding the American public" www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/fda...

Trump promised to end the weaponization of the DOJ. Now he’s using it to hunt down his own former officials—by name. This isn’t justice. It’s revenge politics. Even the Wall Street Journal editorial board just called it what it is: “Broken promise. Abuse of power.”

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/... bahahahaha.. make them legal ! Who could have thought such a thing?!?

NEW VIDEO: An unelected billionaire is cutting government programs, Republicans are threatening judges and Donald Trump is golfing. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse joins me to discuss dark money in the courts, how Trump is tearing apart the Justice Department and threats against judges. youtu.be/bpUSPPzHa0k

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Big news out of Colorado: Gov. Polis just signed a new law requiring background checks, safety training, and a permit to buy assault-style weapons. Vet Voice Foundation helped shape the bill with testimony—because Veterans know the stakes. A smart step toward safer communities.

Literally

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Texas School voucher bill will give Elon Musk 1.2 million in taxpayer dollars to send his kids to school. WTF!! www.facebook.com/RepTalarico/...

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

💥 "90 day delay except China" was leaked 1 day before the actual announcement. This is the biggest insider trading scheme in history.

"When Trump calls for student protesters to be imprisoned or deported, that is not just rhetoric. It is laying the groundwork for a future where disagreement with the state becomes synonymous with criminality or national betrayal."

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

Trump's pause was an intentional manipulation of the markets so his billionaire donors know when to buy & sell to maximize profit off of YOUR losses. THIS IS INSIDER TRADING! Is this what you voted for? www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Scoop: The White House is choosing to censor some White House pool reports. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/white-hous...

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is Live on CNN right now destroying Trump’s Trade war against our allies. "We want to be a model to the world. We want people to look at us and people to say ‘we want to be like the United States,' not 'oh God, the United States, what are they doing?'"

A third kid is dead in Texas due to preventable measles. RFK is pushing vitamin A, cod liver oil, inhaled steroids and antibiotics. He admits the vaccine limits spread. We have to accept that a portion of our country is just too stupid to survive, and they are killing their poor children.

Get involved locally and change your part of the world for the better.

That’s because there weren’t any.

Melanie Krause, the acting IRS commissioner, just announced she's stepping down after the Treasury Department's controversial move to share immigrant tax data with ICE.

Bernie Sanders, 9pm EST on CNN

Trump’s golden age: Microsoft has canceled plans to build 3 new data centers worth $1 billion in Ohio. The company did not give a reason for stopping the projects, only saying the decision was made “after careful consideration” (Likely due to Trump’s tariffs)

Rand Paul: "We have to start from talking about the truth. One of the things they say with Canada is, 'Oh, there's a 270% tariffs on dairy products going from the US into Canada.' Well you know what the real tariffs is? Zero. That's a big difference between what the truth is." #cdnpoli

Reddit is flooded with small businesses owners getting crushed by tariffs — devastated by the thought of raising prices, firing workers, or closing up shop entirely.

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.
