Let’s be perfectly clear… When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is ‘the role of Congress’ to remove him from office… Full stop. Any Questions?!

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

Pam Bondi is a liar, propagandist and criminal accomplice. Kilmar Abrego Garcia never received a court hearing and due process. Pam Bondi is an eternal stain on the Justice Department and justice itself.

SCOTUS, in a 9-0 vote ruled to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. He refused. Judge Xinis ordered him to report back to her on his status. He refused. Only dictators ignore the judiciary and rule of law. Who's next? It could be anyone, if we don't continue to speak out and take to the streets.

If we are serious about opposing fascism is the US, then we must all do our homework about Christian Nationalism URGENTLY

This Missouri Congressman can go to El Salvador for a photo op in a death camp, but we can’t bring innocent people back home?

It's pretty unconscionable that when Pam Bondi was asked to show proof against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, she said they have court transcripts. The Attorney General of the United States thinks that their allegations in court are EVIDENCE?! Vile.

Communities are organizing ICE patrols using radios and megaphones—but what we really need is an ICE alert website where people can share details of ICE activity in real time to help protect and inform one another.

When we fight, we win—for everyone whose lives can be saved by groundbreaking medical advancements, & for all the researchers in Massachusetts & across the country who make it happen. I’ll keep doing everything I can to defend our investments in science.

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Rich people are amazing. People will be going hungry out there, and they’ll be like yeah, but I went to space.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold administration in contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes, demands new details in order for officials to “purge” their contempt. Details TK

My latest at Substack: Trump is putting his grubby little fingerprints on everything from Harvard (and all of academia) to the arts, history, public health, Social Security, the rule of law, and our private data via doge. It’s working out exactly how you’d expect… open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele calls himself "the world's coolest dictator" and has cracked down on human rights during his administration in the name of fighting crime. Now, Trump is embracing him and his example. Read more: buff.ly/LxCIQJH

GUARDIAN: “Those Tennessee lawmakers who love unborn children? Surprise, they’re not so keen on the born ones. Particularly if they are immigrants.” On the “blatantly unconstitutional” Lamberth bill to keep undocumented kids out of schools. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

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.

Helping Americans afford the treatments they need to battle cancer isn't wasteful government spending. If Trump and Congressional Republicans cut Medicaid, too many Granite Staters will be unable to afford life-saving health care. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/28/m...

The White House basically gave Boasberg no choice. And unless they start cooperating very quickly, possibly even if they do, they’re looking at criminal contempt like a freight train. That’s going to raise some tricky issues of penalty, but the underlying finding should be secure. What total jerks.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump admin must facilitate the return of SMART Union Local 100 apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia. They need to quit wasting time and bring our union brother home NOW!

“…members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access…” What kind of shady s**t is going on here?? www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Two U.S. soldiers involved in operations near the border between the United States and Mexico were killed in a vehicle accident and another was seriously injured, the military said.

Sorry for the late-night update. Musk’s staffers are reaching out to leaders of nonprofit organizations, demanding to assign DOGE team members to any institute or agency receiving federal funds.

People are pushing back even in the deepest red districts possible

I for one would still like to see an enquiry into the 2024 election and fully understand how trump won all of the swing states

Canadian universities report jump in US applicants amid Trump crackdown

Trump ends promising cancer research. USA! USA! “Two patients’ treatments using the experimental therapy had to be delayed because NIH’s capacity to make personalized cell therapies has been slowed by the firing of highly skilled staff..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Under pressure from DOGE, nearly all the staff of the Defense Digital Service — the Pentagon’s fast-track tech development arm — are resigning over the coming month. The resignations will effectively shut down the decade-old program after the end of April.

⚡️ 1 killed, 27 injured in Russian attacks across Ukraine over past day. Russian attacks across Ukrainian regions killed at least one civilian and injured at least 27 over the past day, regional authorities reported on April 16.

⚡️ Russia jails 4 journalists over alleged work with Navalny's foundation. The case concerned Antonina Favorskaya, Artem Krieger, Sergey Karelin, and Konstantin Gabov, who were said to be producing video content for Navalny-affiliated YouTube channels, including the Navalny Live platform.

Not sure if/how long this clip will stay up, but our #Baltimore rally in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and other illegally disappeared migrants got some nice coverage at 11:00 www.wbaltv.com/nowcast #BringKilmarHome #OccupyICE #3E #Immigration #USProtests #ProtestMD #Maryland

A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump issued a sharp rebuke tonight of his administration’s sweeping spending cuts — and a defense of the judiciary’s obligation to ensure the executive branch follows the law. “Here, the government failed to do so.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Two US service members were killed, and one is in serious condition after they were involved in a vehicle accident while "deployed" to New Mexico as part of Joint Task Force Southern Border. 💔🇺🇸 x.com/NatashaBertr...

ICE, CBP, and those “reassigned” to these agencies are now the Trump Gestapo. When they are “done” with immigrants they’ll be knocking on our doors next.

Trump Admin Debuts Legal Blueprint for Disappearing Anyone It Wants flip.it/ylAClf either SCOTUS will affirm the 4th circuit—or affirm their powerlessness & the irrelevance of the rule of law & the constitution. SCOTUS doesn’t want to be sent to CECOT—so I’m still betting on ACB penning the later.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

I'm so incredibly proud of my Senator, @vanhollen.senate.gov and grateful for his courage, dedication, and patriotism in standing up for truth and justice. THAT'S the US I'm proud of! We are ALL Kilmar Abrego GarcĂ­a. We're ALL deserve due process!
