🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest. Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.

Previously, the arrests of pro-Palestinian voices on university campuses would’ve drawn instant attention from the DHS civil rights office’s First Amendment watchdogs, attorneys in the compliance branch said. That guardrail is gone. By @davidmcswane.bsky.social & @hannahallam.bsky.social

Reminder: Trump’s crypto coin is an obvious avenue for bribery, and everyone should be horrified — Good explanation 👇🏽 (And everyone who wanted Biden charged for bribery is silent 🤐 as Trump moves to free the informant who lied to the FBI about it)

As of today, it is cheaper to import a fully-built computer than it is to import the parts and build it in the U.S. Just an incredible strategy to bring assembly lines back to the U.S.

Trump will next sign executive orders targeting media outlets critical of him with sanctions. Those media outlets will then find out that no big law firm will represent them because either they already made a deal with Trump or they fear he will sanction them. Trump is methodically ending democracy.

Last fall, Blue Cross got hit with a $421 million verdict after jurors found it defrauded doctors. It was one of the biggest verdicts ever outside a class action - and it revealed the inner workings of how insurers block payments. My latest. www.propublica.org/article/blue...

I keep coming back to this and wondering why Politico didn't ask Bessent to ID who he thinks are still our allies. Denmark? Canada? Germany? Seems like a faulty starting premise. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Here’s the bottom line - we need to take power out of Republican hands. Wherever we can. However we can. Independent Dan Osborn can do that in Nebraska. And WE can help. There is a real chance to flip a red district, IF the Osborn campaign has the resources. So LFG. 👇 actl.ink/daosbsen4325...

Oil and gas companies ended up giving close to half a billion dollars to support Trump's election after Trump asked for a billion dollars in exchange for political favors. Seems like the investment is paying off for them.

After promising people that DOGE wouldn’t cost taxpayers any money, Elon’s cronies are now demanding $1.3 million to pay themselves. They’re gutting the essential services that working people rely on while putting our money in their own pockets.

After scrutiny by DOGE, Kristi Noem shut DHS's oversight arm. The office investigates thousands of complaints including on access medical care, abuses of power at ICE and reports of rape at detention centers. Oversight matters. This will do real harm.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
