Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries started a sit-in protest on Capitol steps 4 hours ago just the two of them streaming at t.co/0AW2Jy3HmK and now looking like this….if you’re in DC go down there to help them out….way better than a "strong letter" from Chuck Schumer that Trump will toss in the trash

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps. Is this building into something? If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support. #Resist (📸 Sen. Brian Schatz)

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Relieved to see that the Budget Lab numbers are close to my back-of-the-envelope estimate. We're still looking at a shock an order of magnitude bigger than Smoot-Hawley

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.

Trump’s ICE just “mistakenly” kidnapped a man with protected status and no record married to a U.S. citizen with a disabled child who is a citizen and sent him to an El Salvadoran hard labor prison — and say they can’t do anything about it In our names 🇺🇸

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

“It’s never been easier to steal secrets from the US government.Can you even call it stealing when it’s this simple?The Trump administration has unlocked the vault doors, fired half of the security guards and asked the rest to roll pennies. Walk right in.Take what you want. This is the golden age.”

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

This is very sad.💔 A LEGAL RESIDENT in rural Maine was kidnapped by ICE. This is his neighbour talking about it. They live in a community of 1200 people, & his wife is beside herself, terrified to talk about it publicly, or to go outside. She’s not been separated from her husband in 20 years.😭💔 1/2

every single video I've seen of the hearing today, Democratic Senators (including ones I don't even like) were pounding the shit out of administration officials. if the media will not play those clips, it's up to make them go viral, show our friends & family, etc. They did something. Reward them.

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

Compared to Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela, Poland, Trump is moving MUCH faster, more aggressively, and with broader claim to power. We're not in danger of becoming those autocracies--we're very quickly surpassing them. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

U.K. tourist Becky Burke finally returned home to Wales on Tuesday after spending 19 days in a U.S. ICE detention facility. Her parents relayed their daughter’s description of her release from ICE, saying how she was taken in “leg chains, waist chains and handcuffs,” which left her “traumatized.”

“Bannon replied: ‘Big deal…. Maybe some people got caught up in it. Who knows?... I think they got everybody who was a bad guy, but guess what? If there's some innocent gardeners in there? Hey, tough break for a swell guy. That's where we stand.’” Deplorable!
