“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Gravely serious. www.jsonline.com/story/news/i...

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

The bill has moved to the Senate. Tell your Senators to stop the voter suppression SAVE Act here: bit.ly/3XoEskc #ResistTrump

Tariffs are a mess. They hurt everyday people. Prices go up, businesses suffer, and jobs are lost. It’s a classic case of those in power making decisions that hit the working class the hardest. We need fair trade, not this chaos. You know that. But we all need to keep saying it. #TariffTrouble

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

AOC: “36,000 people. Biggest rally Bernie or I have ever done. Thank you, LA!”

Today in California. They truly care…

#TrumpParade 🤣🤣

Something my mind cannot stop thinking about is that in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Trump admin ADMITTED that he was wrongfully deported and they they still are fighting as hard as they can to not bring an innocent man home because it will make them look bad.

There was so much music going on, I had to hop on the set 🥁

After Helene struck in late September, the Biden administration gave the green light for FEMA to reimburse North Carolina on 100% of disaster relief assistance — particularly with debris removal and emergency protective services. The cost-share allowed state officials to plow ahead on time.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Peter Theil, with ownership stakes in both Palantir and JD Vance, is cashing in. www.wired.com/story/palant...

House sparrows go completely silent and disappear from my yard whenever a hawk flies over. They don’t help the hawk. I wish US voters were as smart as birds.

15,000 people RSVP’d for this monumental event. OVER 36,000 people stepped up and showed up to be part of the Fighting the Oligarchy event in L.A. on Saturday!! Our movement is absolutely massive, and building by the day!!

For fathers in search of friendship, a growing group has emerged: the Brooklyn Stroll Club. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/s...

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Target not only turned its back on diversity it spit in our faces. My wife and I haven’t been back since January — and we won’t be. We take our money where people like us are seen, valued, and respected. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

MASSIVE crowd joins Bernie Sanders and AOC. RALLY AGAISNT OLIGARCHY!!!! WE THE PEOPLE ARE READY FOR IT. 🇺🇸🗽✊🏼✊🏽✊🏻✊🏿✊🏾

Where you at, Craig?? #noanswer #representation #tax #tariff #texas #veterans #fortworth #jobs

Hundreds showed out on Friday expressing concerns about immigration, education and tariffs at Congressman Ro Khanna’s town hall in San Jose.

Bravo to Susman Godfrey. My first reaction to hearing they had been targeted was to tell people that it wasn’t in that firm’s DNA to settle. Their late founder Steve Susman would be proud of his firm—as should our profession and all freedom-loving Americans.

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

Zero. Zero days before he exempted phones, chips, computers and other tech.

What dictators do, not presidents: “the new, striking artwork depicting Mr. Trump drew criticism from some presidential historians, who could not recall another president hanging a painting of himself during his term in the White House.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

I cannot overstate how despicable the Mahmoud Khalil case is The Government concedes he hasn’t broken any laws But they assert he can be deported for his past, current or even EXPECTED beliefs All based on the sole determination of Marco Rubio Who is apparently now the head of the Thought Police

"Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name." -- John Stuart Mill (1867)

Heparin is cheap and essential to millions of hospitalized people. Tariffs could disrupt the supply chain that gets ingredients from China to their beds.

The dream is dead

We stand by our reporting.

NPR first reported on the case of Charles Givens, a disabled inmate at Virginia's Marion Correctional Treatment Center, in 2023. Four corrections officers were accused of beating him to death and a fifth accused of negligence. Givens' sister, Kymberly Hobbs, sued the five men.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R, gerrymandering), who is my “representative”, said he was against cutting Medicaid 3 weeks before he voted to cut Medicaid. I called his office in DC to remind him that Medicaid doesn’t just support people, it supports healthcare infrastructure. He’s a liar. 5calls.org

🚨BREAKING: North Carolina Supreme Court rejects Republican effort to disqualify more than 60,000 votes in close judicial election. However, GOP dominated court rules 4-2 that several thousand other ballots must be "cured" to be counted. Democratic candidate will continue legal fight in Fed court.
