Trump orders government to stop tracking cancers in U.S. firefighters. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

According to 60 Minutes research, 90% of people sent to brutal El Salvadoran prison have NO criminal record. This is deeply upsetting. They sent another plane full yesterday. Bombard the WH with calls (202) 456-7041. And your Reps. 1 202 224 3121 Everyone deserves a hearing. That is the law.

Let this be the start of a civil society cascade of just saying no to authoritarianism.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, sits in an El Salvador prison, after being convicted of NO crimes- while the man who sent him there, sits in the White House, after being convicted of 34 crimes. Make it make sense.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Imagine your own congressman screwing you over just to “own the libs.” Speaker Johnson: Working overtime to hand more cash to billionaires and big corporations — you know, the ones really struggling. He’s up for reelection along with the rest of the House. Stand up. Vote him out.

Start funding Democrats on the ground at the state and county level. If anyone can get through to their neighbors, it's the people already doing the work on the ground.

IDF says it shot 14 Palestinian medics from afar, mistaking them for militants. Our investigation finds: - Shooters were close enough to see the crews: 40m at the start; later, just 12m. - Soldiers said they initially fired on a Hamas vehicle; dispatcher records indicate it was an ambulance.

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

NEW: The Acting Director of the Immigration Courts issues a new memo purporting to authorize immigration judges to deny asylum applications without ever having a hearing. It's not clear that she has legal authority to do this; as Director, she isn't permitted to set precedent.

HUGE WIN: A federal judge just issued a lengthy TRO prohibiting the Trump administration from freezing federal funds to Maine over their policies protecting transgender youth. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Great news, everyone. A surveillance company started by Peter Thiel is part of the hackathon playing with our data at IRS. www.wired.com/story/palant...

BREAKING: An immigration judge has ruled that the Trump administration can proceed with its effort to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident of the U.S., in a case that Khalil’s attorneys and civil rights experts say has enormous implications for free speech in the U.S.

"The fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me, right?" said Representative Jasmine Crockett on MSNBC. She is 100% correct.

About 90% of the 238 migrants sent to El Salvador lacked a U.S. criminal record

Th judge should absolutely hammer the administration for this response. DOJ attorneys stonewalled the entire hearing today, telling her they had “no info” on all of her questions. Judge demands daily updates on the status of this case.

If you've never had pertussis, let me assure you, it's *dreadful.* The "100-days cough" is real. I lost over 20 pounds trying to breath, in my 40s. Imagine what that would do to a little who doesn't have that much to lose. Which is why babies & Elders are at risk for death from pertussis.

Hitler's trains have become Florida Fats' planes.

NEW: The Board of Immigration Appeals has been formally reduced from 28 members to 15 members, an action which "coincidentally" purges every single Board member appointed during the Biden administration. This comes as the BIA faces record backlogs — which will now get much worse.

Did you know that every single active duty service member pays into social security at the full cost but billionaires are capped at what they contribute?

Trump HHS eliminates office that sets poverty levels tied to benefits for 80 million people www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-h...

I miss Joe Biden. I'm still mad at the people that did him dirty.

House Republicans just voted to cut health care, cut school lunches, and cut veterans' benefits — all to hand $7 trillion in tax breaks to Elon Musk and his billionaire friends. They've deserted their hardworking constituents to help the rich get richer.

The budget passed by House Republicans today steals $880 billion from Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations. By voting for this cruel bill, Republicans have betrayed hardworking Americans by raising costs for those already struggling to make ends meet.
