FBI Arrests Judge Who Blocked ICE From Detaining Immigrant in Her Courtroom The arrest signals that Trump is “ramping up a campaign of intimidation against the judicial branch,” one critic noted. By Chris Walker , Truthout April 25, 2025 truthout.org/articles/fbi...

Yes, Trump's order to gut the Civil Rights Act is as bad as you think Make discrimination legal again? www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Trump himself has been hit with allegations of accepting Russian bribes. In fact, a political consultant who worked for Great America PAC, which backed Trump’s 2016 campaign, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2023 for illegally accepting Russian contributions. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Trump is set to sign a presidential memorandum Thursday targeting ActBlue, the fundraising platform that powers Democratic campaigns and causes. This is Trump’s latest attempt to neuter political opposition. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

JD Vance on Donald Trump www.threads.com/@jfjabbo/pos...

Murkowski’s remarks are alarming coz there’s no reason she should fear “retaliation” in any normal political sense. She held off primary challenge in 2022 and isn’t up for reelection until 2028. But everyone understands that defying Trump can bring grave dangers! www.publicnotice.co/p/lisa-murko...

“We are all afraid,” Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski admitted at an event in Anchorage. “We’re in a time and place where … I have not been here before. And I’ll tell you, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real.” www.publicnotice.co/p/lisa-murko...

Pope Francis held daily calls with members of the Palestinian Christian community in #Gaza during the ongoing #genocide. Humanity lost a rare leader. Rest in eternal peace 🙏🏽 www.threads.net/@hzomlot/pos...

In an effort to reach across political divides, a group of veterans has been holding regular gatherings to talk about it all over a beer. They call the events "Pints and Patriotism."

Congrats @bluesky on 35m !

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid. “It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”

Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955. It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².

Who needs accurate health information? Not the US government.

Early this morning, the Supreme Court sided with the ACLU, "The government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court." With Alito & Thomas dissenting.

Van Hollen: "This case is not only about one man, as important as that is. It is about protecting fundamental freedoms and the fundamental principle in the Constitution for due process that protects everyone who resides in America."

A presidential effort to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status could run up against a number of challenges, including violating federal law.

Happening now:

We are witnessing our government institutions — whose independence is vital for the fair functioning of our legal system — being compromised and their integrity undercut in real time. This is how tyrants undermine democracy.

250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

HUNDREDS of protests and MILLIONS of protesters in big cities and small towns all across America today. From Washington D.C. to St. Paul, Minnesota. New York City to Chicago. Hartford, Connecticut to Phoenix, Arizona — and absolutely everywhere in between. The “50501” movement is…

More of this, please.

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

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

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.

Stiglitz explains Trump.. www.facebook.com/share/v/19Z4...

Bondi grotesquely claims that Abrego Garcia's wife and child are better off with him gone

Say it with us: Constitutional crisis

RFK Jr. paints autism in a apocalyptic colors. As an #ActuallyAutistic journalist who has spent the last decade writing about autism, I had to confront him about it. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

All 27 scientists at this CDC lab were told their duties were "unnecessary," and now viral outbreak investigations have been halted.

Every one of these DOJ lawyers lying to the courts should be disbarred. Bar associations are on notice. Do you really care about the rule of law and democracy? If so, ACT!

Our own @stuartpstevens.bsky.social has a message for Democrats: stop treating this like politics as usual. Our Democracy is being eroded, so wake up and fight before it’s too late. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/to-democra...

Senator Chris Van Hollen says that he hasn’t been able to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia nor has he been able to have a phone call with him. He doesn’t know his health status. Unacceptable. El Salvador needs to show proof of life!!!!!

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

Today would’ve been Roger Fortson’s 24th birthday. A day his family should be celebrating. Instead, they mourn Roger — a USAF Senior Airman, shot in his own home by a deputy who never should’ve been at his door. We honor you on this day, Roger. Say His Name. www.threads.net/@attorneycru...

A group of businesses sued Donald Trump, seeking to block new tariffs that he has imposed on foreign imports. The lawsuit alleges that Trump has illegally usurped Congress’ power to levy tariffs by claiming trade deficits with other countries constitute an emergency. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/14/u...

Public health is not a partisan issue. The dismissal this week of 2,400 CDC workers—including the entire Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch—jeopardizes public safety and health. Thank you to the dedicated public servants who do this hard work even when under attack by critics. #PublicHealthWeek

From Fox Business analyst, after Howard Lutnick said this morning on the Sunday shows that the tariff exemptions on tech were only temporary.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Trump's iPhone olive branch is a significant trade war retreat In the context of US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick days ago announcing that part of the point of escalating tariffs on China was to bring back iPhone production to the US, this was a stunning about-turn. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Lawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a federal court on Friday to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against him, arguing that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recently announced decision to do so was “explicitly and unapologetically political.”

More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

CDC unable to respond to lead crisis due to funding cuts.
