SCOOP: The Trump administration has halted research activities at NIH's Integrated Research Facility, one of the few federal facilities charged with studying Ebola. My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

ICE is now cracking down on CHILDREN. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have now been ordered to target children. They are hunting unaccompanied immigrant children in operations nationwide, aiming to deport them or criminally prosecute them. CHILDREN. ICE is also…

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

We are saddled with a pathological liar who expects journalists to agree with his bald-faced lies. This will only get worse, exacerbated by the sycophants who surround him.

The First Amendment promises that we can all speak our minds without fear of government retaliation. We won’t allow Mohsen to be denied that promise.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

BREAKING: MeidasTouch has won the Webby Award for 2025 Podcast of the Year! Thank you for this incredible honor. None of this would be possible without this incredible pro-democracy community. Shoutout to the Meidas Mighty!

What 🍊 chaos did we wake up to this morning? 1. US military head in Greenland fired for criticising Washington’s agenda for the island. 2. Trump weakens US defenses against foreign interference as risks rise. 3. Trump is cancelling immigrants’ names and legally obtained social security numbers. 🤦🏼‍♂️😳😩

Can this finally put an end to the idea that Republicans are fiscally responsible?

Seems bad.

Hey Trump, Musk, and Congressional Republicans: HANDS OFF OUR JUDGES!

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

For those of you keeping score: When President Biden left office, the stock market had risen to a healthy 43,487. Since trump launched his stupid trade war, the stock market has plummeted to 37,958, just 77 days later. He is a fucking IDIOT. Any questions?

NEW: @elfaroenglish.bsky.social identified a SECOND man sent to El Salvador and imprisoned who is married to a US citizen. Jesús Ríos entered the US at a port of entry in 2023 seeking asylum. His wife started the green card process in January. Like most sent to CECOT, he has no criminal record.

The dumbest people are destroying us. That makes it even more painful.

Keep protesting, keep organizing, keep building your networks. It's important you keep going, what you build today will save you tomorrow.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

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

Does anyone remember Signalgate?

Yall think it's a joke I think it's a plan

Entertaining the idea that elections may not happen only feeds a fatalistic narrative that weakens the seriousness of our movement. The U.S., despite its dysfunction, still upholds electoral cycles — losing sight of that plays straight into the hands of those we resist.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Princeton, New Jersey, has thoughts! (via @michaelmechanic.bsky.social)

Upon learning that your own mistake sent an innocent father to a brutal prison where he’s likely to be tortured, anyone with a shred of decency would be overcome with shame and fight like hell to get him back. They think it’s funny. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

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

Day 2 of the Golden Era.

The bombshell ruling means the Trump administration must fly the Maryland dad back from El Salvador by midnight on April 7 or risk contempt charges. Read the full story: www.thedailybeast.com/federal-judg...

NEW: More top vaccine regulators at the FDA have either left or been forced out following the resignation last week of Dr. Peter Marks, the agency’s top vaccine official, according former and current government officials.

But...but...but HER EMAILS!

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

Wonder who this needs to see this to get some Corey Booker action going on:

Thank you!
