stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation. -You cannot legally deport people without due process. -You cannot legally deport citizens. -They are defining down deportation to break the law.

We need trade policies that help working families, by creating good-paying jobs and reducing the prices of goods. Instead, Trump has spent the last 75 days finding different ways to tank the markets and halt growth.

House after Trump's tariff announcement, the Senate passes Tim Kaine's resolution to terminate Trump's declaration of emergency that is providing the legal underpinning for his tariffs on Canada. Republicans crossing: McConnell, Paul, Collins, Murkowski

We deserved some good news!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

The White House, not even DHS, the White House itself apparently, is directly deciding which permanent residents should be detained and deported based on their political speech. If this doesn’t scare you about the state of our democracy and liberties, I don’t know what will.

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

So Marty Baron says it plain: “It was only weeks ago that The Post described itself as providing coverage for ‘all of America,’” Baron wrote in his statement. “Now its opinion pages will be open to only some of America, those who think exactly as he does.” www.thedailybeast.com//ex-wapo-edi...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

RFK Jr. is disqualified, dangerous, and cannot be given the power to make critical health care decisions for millions of Americans. I'm headed to the floor to put up a fight against his nomination.

its so telling that whenever the ny times is responding to liberal criticism, the tone is "shut the eff up." anyhow. this is how you covered musk.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Tedious to keep pointing this out, but: 1) Trump did NOT get "majority" of vote. (49+%, to KH 48+%). Biden 2020, Obama both times, GWB 2004 most recent w *majority*. 2) Carried House w smallest margin in modern times. 3) He flatly denied even knowing what Proj 2025 was. No Proj2025 'mandate'

BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems! Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

It's really appalling that things are happening -- like firing career Department of Education officials because they attended a diversity conference -- that remind me of what I've read about Mao's mid-1960s Cultural Revolution in China, a humanitarian disaster we don't talk about nearly enough

Members of Congress with @beyer.house.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov now seeking entry at USAID

Pete Buttigieg sets the record straight.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Nothing lasts. Trump's rise included. Republicans are in power and they're going to f it all up sooner than later. It's inevitable. Keep a track of everyone that was complicit and bent the knee.

New Marist poll: Trump starts with a net-negative favorability rating, 44% favorable, 49% unfavorable. This destroys the idea Trump has a mandate. Wish Democratic leaders would see these polls and realize Trump is not popular. Stop talking common ground and start fighting!

This is journalism malpractice, full stop. @cnn.com should be ashamed.

Evidently the GOP really doesn’t have a problem with foreigners taking over the country.
