New: Pete Hegseth shared sensitive information about military strikes to another Signal group chat that included his wife and brother.

But sure, meritocracy. Got it.

NEW: “An independent federal agency is going forward with President Donald Trump’s sweeping elections executive order despite a barrage of lawsuits challenging it as an assault on states’ constitutional authority to run their own elections.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man. Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily — the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

"I’m the proud daughter of a 30-year military veteran who was deployed overseas, and it is unacceptable that the [state Supreme] Court is choosing to selectively disenfranchise North Carolinians serving our country," Justice Allison Riggs said. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump loves him some Hungary, a failing, small state in E Europe. It can foretell our future failure, if we allow it. My latest in reply: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-men...

The man who broke into Gov. Josh Shapiro’s house and set it on fire reportedly planned to beat Shapiro with a sledgehammer.

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

NEW: A federal court ordered North Carolina to proceed with a plan putting 5k military/overseas ballots in the 2024 state Supreme Court race at risk. The court also blocked the state from certifying the election until further notice. From: @mattdcohen.bsky.social

The European Commission is issuing burner phones to officials traveling to the United States amidst fears of espionage in Trump’s America.

Trump’s State Department found no evidence linking Rumeysa Ozturk to antisemitic activity or terrorism, but ICE snatched her off the street and dispatched her to a prison 1,000 miles away with no hearing. This is a hallmark of fascist regimes and utterly incompatible with Due Process.

This is EXACTLY how an opposition party fights back! THANK YOU, @vanhollen.senate.gov! Thank you for keeping this gross violation of due process and civil rights in the news! I can't tell you how much it means to see you fight like this. I'm so grateful for my Senators.

The latest from this weekend in North Carolina. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

Trump has just replaced President Obama’s official presidential portrait in the White House with a painting of himself.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: Mike Johnson plans to put up the SAVE Act for a vote any minute now! This is THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY that will limit access to the polls and lead to voter purges. We must stop this bill. #HandsOffHerVote Toolkit ➡️ social.demcast.com/toolkit/stop...

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

@warren.senate.gov we want you to come out swinging every interview when it comes to Trump tariffs. The recent responses in Nashville were not what we needed to hear, it appeared as if you were supporting his tariffs. It is not the time for “good” tariff use talk. More outrage please! Thank you!

The demise of any semblance of respect for all constituents, regardless of whether they voted for you, is a serious problem. None of our politicians have all the right answers, no matter what they think. Listening and learning from everyone can bring about better outcomes.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Nevada Republican Governor Joe Lombardo during a recent private dinner said that Nevadans who participated in the “Hands Off” rallies were just folks looking for “handouts” and that their central message was that they don't want to go back to work. He said he is troubled by the "Hands Off" message.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

Under Republicans’ SAVE Act, your driver’s license won’t be enough to vote. You’ll need: 1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130 OR 2. A birth certificate with your current legal name, which nearly 70 million married women lack OR

Biggest mistakes I'm seeing in early reporting (thread): 1. Tariffmageddon isn't over: Lotsa tariffs to account for, but the average tariff rate is only down around one quarter. So most of the pain of Liberation Day is still with us.
