I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

New in PN: Tom Suozzi on fighting MAGA in a district Trump won “They do these things to try to get people all excited, meanwhile they’re trying to cut Social Security and Medicaid and give tax cuts to the rich. The big issue is, how are the things they're doing going to affect people's lives?”

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

We had trade agreements around the world. We broke them. Now we have to renegotiate, in a rush, without expertise, with countries who know their interests and who cannot trust us. Here’s how that puts America First. by Peter Navarro

More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

“Trump is engaging the full power of the presidency to settle scores. The White House was not meant for petty tyrants on revenge tours. In the biggest job in the world, Trump seems like a very small man.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/o...

Musk/ DOGE wanted all this info. I guess he now has it

Trump surrenders again.

NYT page one: @nytimes.com

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

"When the dust settles, many of the legal system’s rules may be mere memories — thanks in part to powerful people who failed to stand up when it mattered."

@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."

Garcia: She's playing cosplaying as an ice agent, running around the country, going down to El Salvador, to prisons. You know, holding guns, dressing up. She is a joke

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Unfortunately, I have to say this again: US election infrastructure isn't perfect and there's still work to do to make it more secure. But there is simply no credible evidence that the 2020 election outcome was altered through technical attacks, despite exhaustive scrutiny. 1/2

MTG to be investigated for insider trading. SMITE!!

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

State of Oklahoma: We want to create a "storm chasing license" because amateurs are hampering researchers ability to operate. Federal Government: We want to get rid of tornado researchers. Me: If there's no amateurs and no scientists out there... then who is going to tell us about the tornado?

Hope this helps.

He said this in January, then in February, then again in March, now in April. Our weak president who promised to end this in 24 hours has no plan and Putin is just laughing at him. Empty, hollow threats and promises is Trump’s whole game.

Seriously, who voted for this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_65n...

What did Marjorie Taylor Greene know about the tariff announcements and what stock trades did she make? We need answers.

The pieces are in place to seismically shift Silicon Valley elections — and Santa Clara County supervisors are holding all the cards.

The Trump admin has reached the begging stage

I wonder what the NRA would counsel one of their members to do if, say, they were a non-citizen but in the US legally and they were about to be apprehended for wrongthink without a valid warrant by masked agents of a gov't that's been sending people to black sites in El Salvador without due process.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

💥 400+ general counsels sign open letter: “We oppose the targeting of lawyers and firms, and the resulting chilling effects on the legal profession and the business environment. We support lawyers and firms who endeavor to stand up to these threats and those that support their targeted peers”

We're tracking the status of 200+ voting rights lawsuits, multiple voter suppression bills and the ways Trump is undermining our democracy. Stay informed on these updates with our free newsletters:

He will be good for the economy, they say? Legal organization challenging Trump’s tariffs is backed by some of the biggest names in conservative politics. Tensions continue to rise as factions within the party begin targeting each other. 😂

The Trump regime is arresting and imprisoning political opponents and sentencing them to 20 years in prison, the Tesla arrests are a cover for the regime's true intentions. It is imperative these political prisoners are released before or when Trump and his cabal are removed.

Some businesses now showing the “Trump Tariff Fee” on their bills to customers.

This Is Why Dictatorships Fail The authors of the Constitution separated powers for a reason. By Anne Applebaum www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Alex Jones’s appeal was DENIED by the Connecticut Supreme Court, upholding our $1 billion+ verdict against him and Infowars on behalf of Sandy Hook families and a first responder. Good day for justice. Bad day for Alex Jones.

Oh, the irony 😂—talk about paid protesters! MAGA has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk in Pennsylvania, alleging he failed to pay individuals who gathered signatures for a petition during the 2024 presidential campaign.

We’re launching a new DNC War Room. We are going to compete in every information space and put Trump and the Republicans on the defense every day. At this very moment, Trump is actively wrecking our country. He can’t go unchallenged.

Donald Trump says he’d “love” to send American citizens to a Salvadoran gulag. This is unconstitutional. Full stop.

It was great to join @americavotes.bsky.social for an honest discussion about the future of our party and how we win. It starts with reestablishing our roots with working Americans, proactively taking the fight to Trump, and organizing in every part of the country.

A crucial part of our new War Room operation is reimagining the digital space as an organizing space. Here’s how we’re going to do that:

Everything Donald Trump touches turns to shit. He’s the reverse King Midas.

The tech industry desperately needs new heroes.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is
