Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

You can talk about co-equal branches and checks and balances and the influence of this document or that system, but when it comes right down to it, the thing that made the American idea special was the notion that the government couldn't just fucking kick you out for saying what you think.

It gets worse: The order found that the administration was covertly withholding millions in FEMA funds from blue states.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

DEMOCRATIC ELECTEDS: You need to be holding hearings like Raskin/Schiff did but on the bloodbaths at Social Security and IRS. DOGE can now pocket everyone's personal information. IRS is being set up to make billionaire taxes optional; no more phone support # at SSA. HOLD THE HEARINGS.

The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library. This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler. The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.

If the US government requires passports for you to practice your rights such as voting then passports should be provided for free to all and within a reasonable timeframe by said government.

🚨 The House has PASSED the Senate's version of the budget resolution by a vote of 216-214. House & Senate Republicans will now proceed to write their full budget reconciliation bill that will undoubtedly destroy Medicaid and take away health care and other vital programs for millions of Americans.

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

Tariffs must be reversed before October. Made yet another call to my R Congressman asking if he was planning to go along with this vote to let Trump destroy his constituents’ economic futures. Staff equivocated. I reminded them that he works for us, not the Trump Corporation.

As a 20 year communications professional I’d like to offer Democrats my most sophisticated advice: While Trump is punching himself in the nuts, you could choose to 1. Also punch him in the nuts; or 2. Punch yourself in the nuts. I strongly advise number 1.

Funny how reporters spent years in small-town diners profiling forgotten Trump voters — yet now that those folks are losing jobs, shuttering businesses, and watching their savings vanish due to Trump’s chaos, the diner voice has gone quiet.
