Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD. This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

no criminal record no gang ties no tattoos active pending asylum case **19 years old** sent by trump to prison (forever?) in el salvador www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

As far as I can tell, the first person to ever accuse him of human trafficking is Leavitt herself (I'd love to know if someone else made the claim first). Certainly, no official has ever made that claim to a court, nor offered any evidence of it whatsoever. It seems the White House made it up.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Tax Day Reminder: Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

104% tariffs on Chinese goods go into effect tomorrow. Let's see how Fox News is covering the story.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

Wannabe dictator.

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

www.lincolnsquare.media/p/christo-fa... The Save Act also disenfranchises members of the US military.

This is what its like to work in the Trump administration now. When a career official objected to declaring that living immigrants were dead on legal and ethical grounds, security guards went to his office and told him to leave. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This how health insurers screw everyone for profit. Republicans will cut off sick people before they even lift a finger to investigate the real fraud in our healthcare system.

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Trump has just replaced President Obama’s official presidential portrait in the White House with a painting of himself.

OUTRAGEOUS: Trump’s Social Security Administration will be shifting its public communication exclusively to Twitter (gosh — I wonder whose idea that was?). This comes as the agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.

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

Amazing that without even mentioning a name, EVERYONE knows exactly who it's referencing.

Dept of Labor is hiring 8 new security hires to provide a permanent security detail for the DOGE-aligned Dep Secretary for abt $2 million a year. They're also relying on the US Marshals to deputize the new hires since there's no legal authority to guard the Dep. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Federal agents wearing plain clothes tried to question kids at elementary schools in L.A. on Monday, according to a reporter at Spectrum News. "Superintendent Carvahlo said the agents claimed they had parent permission to question the kids, but it wasn't true"

We found the voter fraud!!!!!

JUST IN: An appeals court decision further clears the way for the Trump administration to re-fire probationary federal workers.

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

This is the caliber of person deemed qualified to lead in this Administration.

BREAKING: DHS to start scouring immigrants' social media posts

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

The US ends lifesaving food aid for millions in 14 countries, including Syria, Afghanistan, & Yemen. The World Food Program calls it a ‘death sentence’ These life-saving programs, some of the last humanitarian aid to these countries, were being canceled “for the convenience of the US Government”

Breaking News: The IRS agreed to share information with ICE to help locate people for deportation, court records show. This is a fundamental change in the IRS, which had gained the trust of migrants and encouraged them to file their taxes.

Trump is demanding his big birthday military parade and pretending its for the Army. He wanted it last time but got rejected by leaders who had spines at DOD when the price tag of $92M came in plus $21.6M for DC. Those brave souls are gone so they will meekly comply giving him his North Korea show.
