Breaking - super lawyer Abbe Lowell starts his own firm. Will represent people targeted by Trump including Letitia James, Mark Zaid and Miles Taylor. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Most MAGA don’t understand supply and demand‼️. Trump loves the poorly educated ‼️

Leader Jeffries: "The National Security Advisor is out. He's the first person to leave. He will certainly not be the last."

My friend Kai Wright and my editor Lizzy Ratner won a freaking Peabody for their documentary “Blindspot” about the AIDS epidemic. So proud to know them. :)

Stephen Miller giving a press briefing is making North Koreans blush. Temu Goebbels is just standing up there at the podium and lying, per usual.

The U.S. economy just had its worst quarter in three years, and MAGA is blaming… Joe Biden. Are you fucking kidding me?

It’s not DEI vs. merit.

Mohsen Mahdawi is free!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

The list could go on and on….and on. But here are 5 diabolical, disastrous, deplorable, detrimental dumb decisions by Don.

Marco Rubio is asked about Kilmar Abrego Garcia: "I would never tell you that, and you know who else I'll never tell? A judge...I'll never discuss it and no one will ever make us discuss it." I foresee Marco Rubio being held in contempt soon. 🍿

I am delighted that Mohsen Mahdawi has been released from detention. Expressing a political opinion about the war in Gaza is not a crime. In the United States of America, you should not be put in a jail cell for exercising your First Amendment rights.

Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter

We can't rest until government is restored as an instrument for the people, not our homegrown theocrats, kleptocrats and oligarchs.

Donald Trump is underwater when it comes to immigration. Why? Because people don’t like what he’s doing. Raiding the home of citizens, deporting people without due process—it’s simply unpopular.

A big THANK YOU to those who tuned into the Legal AF live stream of the U.S Supreme Court oral argument for Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond. It is up to us to stay informed, ask the tough questions, and move the conversation forward. Keep an eye out for more courtroom coverage!

NEW: Judge Xinis orders the resumption of expedited discovery in the Abrego Garcia case, setting a series of deadlines over the next two weeks. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

here's today's post: "American president loses Canadian election" — Canada doesn’t want to be our hat. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Dear god let this man cook.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

Shout out to Jalen Hurts and “scheduling conflicts” 💚🦅💚 #eagles

Pritzker: And we have a president who claims to love America but hates our military so much that can’t be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen U.S. soldiers.

I respect what Rep. Connolly is doing but let's be honest, he didn't want the position Pelosi pushed him to get in the race because she didn't like A.O.C and unfortunately, he knew he was dealing with cancer treatments and he shouldn't have taken the position

Back from Rome and Melania couldn’t get away fast enough. Separate motorcades.

I’m glad the New York Times profiled ⁦‪Hasan Piker,‬⁩ but calling his use of the word genocide to describe Gaza ‘extreme’ is insane. Some of Israel’s top Holocaust scholars are calling it a genocide as are Amnesty & Human Rights Watch. Absurd from NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/s...

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

China is icing Trump “10,000 Tariff Grandpa” ☠️😂

TRUE STORY. They're all laughing at him.
