Sen. Van Hollen: "I don't think it's ever wrong to fight for the constitutional rights of one person because if we give up on one person's rights, we threaten everybody's rights...Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead."

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia. He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine. Hmmm

Tyler, TX had an even bigger turnout today than two weeks ago. The tide is turning….we are making some good trouble in this deep red city and state. #handsoff @maddow.msnbc.com

Imagine being this bitter, this unhinged—and still thinking you’re the victim. Trump can’t even say Happy Easter without turning it into a rage-filled tantrum.

CEO of The Federalist is opening calling on Trump to defy the Supreme Court.

Which is precisely why millions of people are protesting against you.

A U.S. law bars the State Dept. from $$$ support of “'units of foreign security forces' — which can include military and law enforcement staff in prisons — facing credible allegations of gross human rights violations." Such as the money going to El Salvador's CECOT? [@arianalfigueroa.bsky.social]

Who did this. 🤣

A great sign seen during the marches on April 19th!

Man used to buy sports cars to help them get laid. Now they buy Teslas to tell the world that they can’t.

He’s so excited about attending Easter service that he hasn’t attended a single Easter service in the last 4 years.

Elon Musk’s companies have billions in government contracts while he operates as a “special government employee.” My ELON MUSK Act will end this blatant corruption.

APOLLO: “It normally takes 18 months on average for the US to negotiate a trade deal. .. While markets wait for trade negotiations with 90 countries at the same time, global trade is grinding to a standstill .. if current policies do not change, then the probability of a US recession in 2025 is 90%”

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Pascal about JK Rowling and the anti trans law on UK: ‘I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist’

We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

Straight talk from a Japanese representative about the Trump tariffs. Listen to what he says!! #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Elon’s own AI estimates that up to 80% of the posts on X about Kilmar Abrego Garcia are misinformation — that he’s an MS-13 gang member, he’s “illegal” and a criminal. The biggest spreaders of those lies are Trump agencies and officials, Fox News and right-wing accounts.

Chicago folks know how to protest! Love this protester’s sign!

The IRS launched its own tax filing program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this.  Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program. Hello?

💯 this!!!

Always great when the agency in “turmoil” is … {checks notes} … the United States Department of Defense.

Dark Ferris Bueller.

This description of the difference between Democrats and Republicans is spot-fucking-on. 🎯🎯🎯👇

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

White House releases new photos of suspected MS-13 members with tattoos on their hands:

WOW. SCOTUS has BLOCKED the administration from deporting class members under the Alien Enemies Act until further order of SCOTUS. This is the case Boasberg couldn’t issue a TRO in earlier because he didn’t have jurisdiction. I’m honestly shocked.

SPOILER ALERT: In the sci-fi show Andor, it was a massive surprise intended to horrify and shock viewers when they learned that the show's supermax actually lets no one out alive—no matter their offense or sentence. That's what CECOT—the Trump-Bukele joint—_already is_. So... everybody get it now?

📌I miss the days three months ago when we had the strongest economy in the world and murderous dictators were our enemies ...

This is not normal. This government gets closer and closer every day to declaring war on its own people. This post is a clear and direct statement of intention to defy the Supreme Court and end rule of law in the United States.
