If Trump’s talking—he’s lying‼️ China’s President Xi is not talking to Trump, and there is no tariff deal. Expecting China to quickly fold was a huge miscalculation by Trump and he’s trying to cover it up. China is in this for the long haul and Trump is negotiating with himself.

BERMAN: How much do you think Vladimir Putin fears this threat from Rubio to move on from the peace negotiations? AUCHINCLOSS: Fears? He welcomes it. Because if the US withdraws, then Ukraine becomes Russia's playground ... this is Trump winking at Vladimir Putin and saying 'We lose, you win'

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

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.

Thank you for your leadership and recognizing the urgency of this dangerous moment for our democracy and the rule of law, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov. Are your elected officials doing everything in their power to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home? Make sure they hear from you today.

NEW: California’s suing Trump over his reckless tariffs. He’s abusing emergency powers meant for real crises — not slapping tariffs on allies over fake “threats.” It’s about time. His tariff bullying is hurting California businesses, spiking prices, and dragging the economy down with him.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

So now anyone in the USA legally can be rounded up, deported to a horrific prison in El Salvador "by mistake". And instead of lifting a finger, the USA says we are welcome back if we try to re-enter. Meanwhile, the El Salvador President proudly announces he isn't releasing the person. Just Wow

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

I am embarrassed to be an American in 2025. Zelensky got more criticism for not wearing a suit by this man than Putin did for killing tens of thousands of innocent Ukrainian people, what a coward he is.
