Homeland Security Secretary can’t secure her own purse.

With Trump defying the Supreme Court to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia (along with hundreds of others) imprisoned in El Salvador, we find ourselves in a moral and constitutional crisis. Calls and emails to Congress aren’t sufficient to end these crises, but they are necessary.

Frost: I'm one of many. I'm not the first member of congress here and I'm not going to be the last. This is not about Maxwell Frost. This is about preventing our country from losing what makes it exceptional.

I just met with Mohsen Mahdawi where he’s being held in Vermont. He was detained when he showed up for his citizenship interview. He should be released so he can become a citizen.

The rule of law isn't just words. It’s the bedrock stability that protects our way of life. Attacks on it merit more than a shoulder shrug & then a look away. I wrote a little bit to help you understand more about what it is & how it impacts our daily lives. joycevance.substack.com/p/rule-of-law

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

"All it took then was for the elites to carry on as normal, doubling down on policies everyone knew would fail ... the most obvious dangers at time of writing are ... the return of a Trump-like president in 2024" - Paul Mason Democrat failure isn't an accident. 🧵 open.spotify.com/show/4SmqFbI...

Harvard sues the Trump administration in federal court over its multibillion dollar cuts to the University’s research funding, accusing the White House of undertaking an arbitrary and unconstitutional campaign to “punish Harvard for protecting its constitutional rights.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

"This is a pattern. If one law firm capitulates, Trump goes after more. If one university, tech billionaire, media company capitulates, he goes after more. If we don't fight him now, when he’s only gone after one legal resident, then we can't act surprised when he ultimately goes after Americans."

Good time to subscribe to Wired. I used to think of it as a guilty pleasure at the newsstand, a holdover from nerdy youth. But they are doing an excellent job covering key elements of our political reality.

🚨Absolutely nobody should be surprised by this. Sloppy and incompetent is the standard for him and his team. I’ve said from the start, the scope and scale of SignalGate is far from fully known and unlikely close to over. We need bi-partisan investigations. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

They just sent another Fork email. If you're a fed considering accepting, please remember that they're only offering this because you'll be better off if you don't take it.

Every Republican must feel the heat for voting to cut Medicaid and SNAP to fund massive tax giveaways to billionaires. Every Democrat must know we’ve got their backs when they fight to protect everyday Americans. Find an event near you during this final week of April recess: indivisible.org/muskorus

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

The Pentagon is in "total chaos" and Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and missteps at the highest levels of the department. "The building is in disarray." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Confirming Hegseth really was insanely reckless.
