I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

The right wing and Fox launched a smear campaign against Newsom. In the past, he might’ve ignored it—but he’s seen how right-wing trolls work with Fox to create false narratives. So this time, Newsom responded immediately. No hesitation.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

More than 6000 scientists have signed a declaration condemning "Administration policies that undermine the NIH mission, waste public resources, and harm the health of Americans and people across the globe" www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

a law school should actually lose accreditation for this

Is anyone actually wondering if we can trust these clowns with the nuclear codes? I thought at this point we'd pretty much universally agreed that we can't trust them with telephones, let alone nuclear codes.

My god.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

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.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

I tell everyone I know this

Remember this is the President who, long before he held office, wanted the conviction of the Central Park 5, who were exonerated, to remain intact.

This is the dumbest fucking time. — US Health Department will make new fluoride recommendation - www.reuters.com/business/hea...

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

I can’t get over Trump crashing the economy and then skipping a memorial for four fallen soldiers to go play golf all damn weekend. It’s fucking unbelievable how out of touch this guy is—this is not American leadership.

What a nightmare for parents and children. www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/05/n...

NEW: Incredible scenes in Washington DC now. Tens of thousands on the National Mall for the #HandsOff protest against Trump & Musk. There must be over a million people protesting across every US state today. #FiftyFiftyOne #HandsOff2025 (🎥 Alejandro Alvarez)

#ProudBlue Anyone who is in security clearance positions using Signal or any commercial app, for communication should be terminated and investigated. And don't say "It's no big deal", remember Benghazi and "but her emails". They investigated via the Foreign Affairs Committee and the FBI.

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia. Very normal administration we have here.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Please @vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov @govwesmoore.bsky.social, please apply pressure to release this man. www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/p...

LET’S GO WISCONSIN!

And without reading an encyclopedia! @booker.senate.gov just fired up the nation to get into good trouble and reject all that is wrong at this moral moment. This is what leadership looks like.

Cory Booker showing Chuck Schumer how to tell the people you hear them.

This needs to be said more and loudly.

Elon Musk’s offer of checks from $100 to $1 million to Wisconsinites prior to Tuesday’s election faces a major legal challenge, as Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul seeks a restraining order barring Musk "from making any payments to Wisconsin electors to vote." www.thenation.com/article/poli...

merit is back baby

Of course they are.

This was the same exact set of facts when they confirmed him.

Trump wants to set rules for the way states run their elections and wants DOGE to audit voter databases. DOGE. Not an independent entity - his cronies. Mike Johnson is talking about eliminating district courts. These are not actions you see in a Democratic Republic.

Fired? Chelsea Manning was sentenced to THIRTY FIVE YEARS in prison

Donald Trump is no friend to those in agriculture. Along with an idiotic trade war, he's begun a slash-and-burn campaign to cut funding that our farmers depend on. My fellow Illinoisans, it's time for all of us to stand up.

Dr. Sidhwa was at the hospital Israel bombed earlier today👇🏼

News: Suspended journalists sue Kari Lake and Trump administration over shutting down Voice of America My story for NPR www.npr.org/2025/03/21/n...

last night it was Kropyvnytskyi, this night it's Odesa attack drones, dozens of explosions, terror of civilians the russians attacked malls, residental buildings and car repairinig centre 3 kids got injured this is ceasefire according to Russia #UkrainianView

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

MAJOR BREAKING: Governor JB Pritzker just revealed that during COVID, Donald Trump told him he would only send life saving equipment if he agreed to praise him on the Sunday talk shows. Is Donald Trump evil or just completely fucking deranged?

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

This would have saved my fathers life. This could save another family members life. This could save my life one day. And they are ending it.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday that Trump is living in a Russian-made “disinformation space” as a result of his administration’s discussions with Kremlin officials. Zelenskyy said he “would like Trump’s team to be more truthful.”

It's not hard. This is unacceptable. They won't stop at him.

These offices work to fight pollution in poorer communities. Like the Department of Education, that works for the education of underserved children. I wish his base could see how profoundly he doesn’t care about them—or American citizens generally. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/c...
