In 2018, the first Trump admin. wrongfully deported an Iraqi man, despite a court order. The U.S. govt quickly recognized the mistake and worked with the man's attorneys to bring him back. He was later returned. My story on the difference from then to now: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Time to speak up

Seconding this. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I’ve called out Booker before for not doing shit, but it’s important to also recognize when our electeds are starting to move in the right direction, and encourage them to keep going.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Circling back on this…

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This is a critical victory for trans rights.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

If Democrats won't act like an opposition party, we will.

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

If every Senate Democrat said, "we won't let Musk and Trump do what they're doing to famers, to social security, to cancer research and to every American's health without a hell of a fight" and just repeated that, they'd be shocked by how much of America would be on their side.

DON'T GO TO A TESLA DEALERSHIP is good advice

My statement on the leadership of Senator Schumer and Congressman Jeffries ⬇️

The GOP funding bill is a direct attack on working people. If Democrats won't act like a real opposition party, we need a party that will.

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

I have heard she is a judges’ judge. She has been a sounding board for other judges who needed advice on cases. Wisconsin, you deserve to have a highly competent justice who will uphold the state and US Constitution and not put their thumb on the scale of justice like Schimel would.

Robert Morris, Texas megachurch pastor and former Trump adviser, indicted for child sex crimes.

So good. Just run this on loop @democrats.org.

The House just passed a funding bill that would provide ICE with a nearly $10 billion blank check to detain and deport immigrant communities with few guardrails. Senators have the power to stop this cruel waste of taxpayer dollars. They must use that power.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Go. To. The. Treasury. And. Demand. Entry. You are the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee.

BREAKING NEWS DEI hire Governor Greg Abbott warns that Texas will retaliate against Canada. What’s he gonna do? Send Ted Cruz there as punishment?

Musk, who is not a government employee, is committing a shitload of crimes. State AGs need to act. He’s not immune.

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB". The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them. It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests. I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights. Find the EO here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Trump will continue doing serious damage. But his administration will also continue making mistakes if we keep fighting back.

Trump administration walks back ban on doctors giving HIV medication to patients www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/01/trum...

Democrats: stop asking me for money and fucking DO SOMETHING stop telling me he’s doing illegal things and DO SOMETHING like???

A core purpose of these raids is to create chaos and terrorize entire communities.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

The President that supposedly “backs the blue” and is for “law and order” just pardoned thousands of traitors who took part in a violent insurrection that led to the deaths of multiple people.

#ProTip: Do not obey in advance.

10s of millions of people DO NOT support these fascists. I think that folks really need to keep this top of mind.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

Say it with me: Trump won a *plurality* of the vote. Not a majority. Most people who showed up this election voted for someone other than Donald Trump. Yes, he won. Yes, we have lots of work to do. But treating his agenda like some inevitable tsunami plays right into his hands.

People say “the radical left” and it’s just people who don’t think anyone should go bankrupt because they get a cancer diagnosis.

1. Today, multiple Dem. senators have come out against pundits and Suozzi/Moulton scapegoating trans Americans. "After the 2004 election a lot of pundits said it was time for Democrats to stop standing up for gay people. They were wrong." Subscribe to support my journalism.
