More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

When you have a felon as the President of your country…

Trump’s heartless cuts, freezes, & firings to the NIH & HHS are having devastating effects in real time—delaying breakthrough research & hindering life-saving care for patients. Not only is this an attack on science, but it's an attack on American families. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Sotomayor warns in her dissent that the Trump regime is arguing they can grab anyone they want including 🇺🇸 citizens and send them to foreign Prisons

The Supreme Court is morally bankrupt.

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

This is exactly right. Watch @raskin.house.gov explain how we can stop Trump’s coup:

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Yesterday, 1,400 protests were held to protest the Trump whose headlines fill this page. But to the #BrokenTimes this morning, they are a buried BTW. It has plenty of photos; none here. This is what they call "news judgment." To the Times, we are not news.

Keep posting

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

After crashing the stock market, Trump is now in FL for the rest of the week hosting the Saudi-owned LIV golf league at his course.

🚨 BREAKING: I'm suing #RFKJr @ #HHS & #JayBhattacharya @ #NIH Canceling medical research grants threatens innovations benefiting ALL Americans, no matter your politics! 🇺🇸 Thanks to my lawyers @aclu.org @aclum.bsky.social @protectdemocracy.org & @cspi.bsky.social Long 🧵 on why I'm suing 👇 1/

Heroic. Our entire profession owes you and your co-plaintiffs a debt of gratitude.

You can put Senator Jim Banks in a suit, but you can’t take him anywhere. What kind of human being acts like this?

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

Imagine.

Unkind men so often whither in the face of unkindness.

Everyone is entitled to due process. It was created to protect the innocent/wrongly accused.

ICYMI — Musk has transferred ownership of Twitter to MEMPHIS-based XAI, which has faced massive community backlash as it expands without community input, at the expense of community resources and health. #AllMoneyIsNotGoodMoney uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-mu...

The FDA’s top vaccine official, Peter Marks, has been pushed out. He was given the choice by an HHS official to resign or be fired. "It has become clear that truth & transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation & lies," he wrote.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA... The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA. There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake

Do NOT drop this story. Keep hitting it hard. They could have killed our pilots.
