This is so important!

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

Trump 2028: Your Baby's Life Is Too Good

YES

Take a minute from your day and read this chilling story about how quickly we've gotten to where we are.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Excellent point! It is always about the war on women and keeping us barefoot and pregnant.

Happy to report that I haven’t seen a single clip of the actual White House correspondents dinner. Good job, everyone!

BREAKING: The FBI has arrested a judge who helped migrants avoid ICE. This judge is a hero. www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

The Art of the Deal

Beware Nazis attacking universities to stifle eduction in the name of antisemitism.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

It's funny how when you ask them why they think Pope Francis was "too woke" and request specific examples, they always wound up describing Christ's teachings without a hint of self-awareness.

When you have a WH press briefing at 1:00 but a rap battle against Eminem at 2:00

Biden tried to forgive student debt. The GOP successfully sued to stop it. And here we are. apnews.com/article/stud...

The war in Ukraine will be over in 24 hours. So will Gaza. There will be 90 trade deals in 90 days. No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. Interest on car loans will be tax deductible. No tax on Social Security. He will balance the budget. Tariffs will pay for everything.

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

Kind, decent, and compassionate, Pope Francis was badly out of step with contemporary western culture.

Is it spam or is it just Pete Hegseth texting you classified information?

at this point 2025 feels like being awake during surgery

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

When you realize you’ve just done some illegal shit to a college that 40% of the judges in the district graduated from. 40% of the Circuit court judges graduated from Harvard, too. Oh, and 4 of the 9 SCOTUS justices including Roberts went there.

On April 18, the Old North Church—where two lanterns once sparked the American revolution—will ring its bells for democracy. I hope houses of worship across the country will join them in this nationwide call to protect our freedom. Learn how your congregation can take part.

Yes! We want to see our elected officials doing ANYTHING.

Chief Judge Boasberg's probable cause ruling is *not* an appealable order. DOJ can ask the D.C. Circuit for an extraordinary writ of mandamus, but that requires showing that the district court ruling both (1) was clearly wrong; and (2) is not otherwise capable of being remedied on a future appeal.

Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

Biden: One called it a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme? What the hell are they talking about? People earned these benefits. They paid into that benefit. They rely on that benefit.

Kilmar is all of us.

Yes, PBS indoctrinated me with shows like Sesame Street and Mr Rogers to be kind, smart, caring…

Just updated this timeline to fix a typo and address an error in the last box where I'd gotten the manner of arrest wrong. I present the full version Mr. Abrego's time in the United States, using court documents to explain the allegations of gang membership and what actually happened in his case.

China just halted orders of all Boeing planes. This is a major strategic failure for Trump.

THIS This is what they’re doing. Sending people to concentration camps that—by definition—are outside the law.

It's worth reading the full list of Trump admin demands on Harvard. Some are ridiculous, e.g. reduce the power of jr. faculty! But most are chilling & antithetical to what a university is--basically they want to install commissar audit committees to oversee everything www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is so important to recognize.

It is about damn time

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

I'll say it again: in a country where due process is individually denied and then broadly eroded and eventually eliminated, being a citizen will not protect you from the terror of this administration.

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!
