If due process is denied for anyone, it can be denied for you too. If anyone can be snatched off the streets, detained, and deported without due process, it can happen to you too. We demand due process is upheld for every single person.

We hang together or we hang separately. Could not be clearer what is happening and how universities must respond.

Things are going great for Mike Johnson in the House www.notus.org/congress/tru...

Warner: "I just talked to senior folks on Wall St, and he described today's market as 'a good day in hospice.'"

She never misses an opportunity to destroy her ketamine addicted dad.

The administration is telling us that tariffs are the tool to a winning economy. And I’m saying, innovation is the tool! I want to innovate my way to that future, instead of berating the American consumer who has to pay the price for this policy.

"What the U.S. is doing now is not reform. It is rejecting the very system it created." - Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong (April 8, 2025)

So many folks are, rightly, going to lose their shit over this. It's absurd, fundamentally wrong, stupid, and dangerous — all at the same time.

TRADE WAR CHAOS: - Elon Musk calls Trump aide Navarro “dumb as a sack of bricks” - WH hits China with 104% tariffs - Markets tank - Canada & EU strike back - Crypto fraud crackdown scrapped And much more... Full roundup: 👇

The GOP is starting to feel the pressure. Even in very red states and districts, Republicans are facing more constituent questions on the impacts of the Trump-Musk coup. We need to keep this momentum going. There’s another congressional recess next week — let’s get to work: indivisible.org/muskorus

#ICE showing up 5 deep and armed at one of my clients house claiming to be doing a welfare check on a minor waiting for a green card. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has ordered the arrest of minors who enter the United States unaccompanied. #lawyer #law #cops #police #immigration

Trump has announced his new plan for autogenocide, he will now proceed to make medication far more expensive, which will lead to millions of deaths. "We're gonna tariff our pharmaceuticals ... we're going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals." #3E

Why would any Democrat in Congress ever cast a single vote to support any Trump nominee or initiative ever? Why enable a racist corrupt would be tyrant in any way? It’s indefensible.

Final proxy voting update: Republicans killed our bill. We will keep fighting for new parents in Congress and across this country. EVERYONE deserves parental leave.

This is Scott – a CDC researcher working to help screen coal miners for black lung. His entire department was eliminated last week, leaving miners across the country at greater risk of sickness and death. I’m fighting back.

"take your medicine" what the hell, we weren't sick, this isn't medicine, it's poison

The Judiciary Committee passed my bipartisan bills with Senator Chuck Grassley to lower Rx drug costs by taking on Big Pharma’s abuses of deals with competitors and FDA petitions. Next stop: the Senate floor. I won’t stop working to lower costs for prescription drugs.

Wow, Tillis. 👀 @punchbowlnews.bsky.social

FLASH: Judge issues injunction in favor of Associated Press Judge Trevor McFadden: “Under the 1st Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists—be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere—it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints"

Raskin: Perhaps he could have yelled fore on the greenway so tens of millions of Americans could have taken our retirement savings out of the stock market before he hit us in the head with a golf ball

When Chris & Tom in MA checked their son's Social Security account last week, it said his disability benefits had ended. They stayed up all night refreshing. Those benefits help pay for his care. Trump & Musk's attack on Social Security is hurting people. We're fighting back.

Calls for a general strike in the US are growing. It's important to understand how to organize one, given their key role in overcoming tyrants around the world.

@dropkickmurphys.com debuts new protest anthem “Stand with Us” at Boston Hands Off Protests with over 100k protesters in the city.

We need to make it easier to innovate and solve the biggest problems the world faces – like finding cures for cancer. Devastating cuts at the NIH and other health agencies set us back from that goal.

“I choose courage.” Thank you @cohen489.bsky.social

BREAKING: Trump-appointed federal judge restores Associated Press to White House press pool. Judge Trevor McFadden sees likely First Amendment violation in Trump's leveraging of access to promote use of 'Gulf of America' phrase Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Donald Trump may think he’s perfected the art of the deal, but he’s actually perfected the art of the shakedown. Look no further than the corrupt bargain he struck with Mayor Adams:

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

NEWS: In a massive escalation, Donald Trump has increased his additional tariffs on China to 104%

Sen. DURBIN at FOIA hearing: Some Trump Administration officials like Elon Musk do not seem to care about Americans’ right to know what their government is up to. Efforts to weaken FOIA are "toxic to our democracy."

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Plaintiffs: Help, it’s an emergency. The Government threw us in a foreign torture prison without due process SCOTUS: We agree there’s an emergency. You filed in the wrong court. It’s like calling 911 with an emergency and the operator says you called the wrong number and hangs up

UPDATE: Speaker Johnson's "deal" isn't good enough, so @pettersen.house.gov and I are motioning to discharge our proxy voting resolution to the floor TODAY. New parents should be allowed to vote. Stay tuned.

Sen. HIRONO: What will we lose if we gut the Justice Department’s criminal division? Former DOJ public integrity attorney: Expertise. If you worry about corruption and abuse of power, it’s good to have attorneys to take these cases on.

Government transparency expert: FOIA is essential to democracy. The public must know what its government is doing to hold elected officials accountable.

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: FOIA reform ought to be bipartisan. It’s not right versus left, Democratic versus Republican. Recent Trump attacks on FOIA offices hurt government transparency.

Elon Musk and DOGE are blatantly skirting government transparency laws. They say they’re NOT subject to FOIA. Their website is barely usable and often wrong.

I just learned that the entire press team at the FDA was fired last week. The *entire* press team. It's difficult to grasp how bizarre this is. To wrap my brain around the idea, I made a list of things the FDA is responsible for, and that reporters now have no one at the agency to ask about... 🧪🛟

Sen. DURBIN: The conduct by some January 6th insurrectionists since their pardons is outrageous. Were you consulted on these pardons? Former DOJ pardon attorney: I was not. No member of my office was.

Trump's own trade rep couldn't explain the logic behind the on-again, off-again tariffs wreaking havoc on our economy. If Republicans care about protecting our jobs and lowering costs, they should all vote for our bipartisan resolution to end Trump's tariff chaos.

Virginia’s workers are the backbone of our economy. They deserve leaders who will put their priorities first and treat them with respect. I was proud to join @vademocrats.bsky.social, workers, and labor leaders today to make clear that as Governor, I’ll always have workers’ backs.
