Soon please!!!

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process. He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump is trying to bludgeon us into accepting the tactics and imagery of fascism: Forced disappearances, renditions to foreign gulags, the ritual humiliation of hated enemies within. That's why it's so crucial that the middle is rejecting it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1944...

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Secretary Alexis Herman—my Soror, a trailblazer, and the first Black woman to lead the Dept. of Labor. Her impact on this country and the fight for working people runs deep. Rest in power, Madam Secretary.

RETWEET if you stand with Judge Hannah Dugan!

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

This — the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s arrest today of a sitting judge — against the backdrop that the President of the United States is, at this same moment, defying an April 10 Order of the Supreme Court of the United States

Remarkable from WaPo poll: Trump sinking fast on immigration among independents. 56% disapprove of handling of issue 62% oppose removing foreign students 52% oppose renditions to El Salvador Only 21% want Abrego Garcia left there Engage, Dems. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1944...

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Gasparino's been right a lot and wrong a lot, but if he's right, he's unwittingly saying that the White House leaks information to friendly investors who can front-run the markets

🇫🇷🤝🇺🇦 FAU: The first group of Ukrainian pilots is fully deployed in Ukraine. As stated by Macron, further transfers of Mirage 2000-5 are planned for the Ukrainian partner, the only limitation being the duration of pilot training. @aidefranceukr.bsky.social

President Zelenskyy: "The US believes that the ceasefire in the sea&energy infrastructure is working.Here's what I think:2 days ago,there was a night when there were no strikes on the energy infrastructure.Today,it was damaged in Kherson by Russian artillery.So,there should be a reaction of the US”

Lather, rinse, repeat

Wow. China just called out the Trump administration for blatantly lying about the existence of any ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and China.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

Y’all never talk about Rep. Underwood and that just doesn’t seem right considering how much heavy lifting she has done and continues to do without fanfare, demonization, othering, cameras, “tours” or ego. Can’t wait to vote for her in a national election one day (it WILL happen☺️)

Sen. Schiff is requesting the National Archives and Records Administration investigate the Trump admin's use of Signal and other messaging apps. "It is imperative NARA contact each federal agency with personnel involved in the Signal conversations to ensure that all records have been preserved."

BREAKING -- Tesla's share price $TSLA drops almost 6% today -- not because of a bad quarterly earnings report, but because everyone is expecting tomorrow's quarterly earnings report to be THAT BAD. Meanwhile their CEO continues to work remotely on a dubious side project in DC.

Once again, this Administration is playing a reckless game with foreign policy. A leaked EO shows plans to slash staffing at the U.S. Embassy in Canada and gut the Bureau of African Affairs. Because clearly, alienating allies and dismantling diplomacy is the key to "greatness," right?

Frost: I still hold the supreme court is very much skewed to the right… But the fact the court is so skewed to the right even then they are still saying in a unanimous decision that he needs to be brought home shows that should not be a partisan issue

“If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens & then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?” —Judge Harvie Wilkinson www.americaamerica.news/p/due-proces...

Democrats are right to keep the attention on this story a the whole world is watching. wapo.st/42kdrBo

Yet another security breach that put American troops and lives at risk. Pete Hegseth has no business serving as Defense Secretary. Donald Trump must fire him.

💥

My son just saw this in a parking lot in Kansas City 😆

BREAKING NYT: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat.

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat."

I don't know who besides the White House needs to hear this, but spraying cheap, Chinese-made foam wall decorations with gold spray paint isn’t classy, it’s tacky as hell and prodigiously embarrassing Right now the Oval Office looks like the dumpster behind a Michael’s

Then you should listen to Willie Nelson’s cover of the same song and feel renewed.

"I will not be silenced. I will not be bullied. I will not bend. I will not break. And I will not bow to anyone. No one is above the law, including the president of these United States." NY AG Letitia James Read more here:

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

To everyone celebrating today, Michelle and I hope you have a blessed and happy Easter.

Let’s remember that the felonious Trump was given due process, repeatedly, even if many Americans would have preferred he be taken away to a foreign gulag under the shadow of darkness.

The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E

Very creative, San Francisco! 8647 ✊

Reminder: If a president has immunity for official actions and swears an oath to uphold the Constitution then violating the Constitution can't be construed to be an official action and as a consequence the president does not have immunity to protect him from prosecution for such actions.

If you're out protesting, be safe—and give 'em hell. We need strong opposition from Democrats in DC, but an even stronger movement across the country to put the fear of God into these clowns. Make them terrified to kill Medicare and Social Security, strip away your rights, and steal from taxpayers.
