"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Will just leave this clip here of Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings talking about what’s wrong with America from a 1991 interview and it’s still all very true today

Fascists want normal people to feel alone. They want us all to feel at their mercy. But what #handsoff demonstrated is that we are not mere victims of political events. Democracy is a participatory sport, and we are active participants.

"Trump administration orders half of national forests open for logging... "An emergency order removes protections covering more than half the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service..." www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Today the WA senate unanimously passed a sexual violent predator bill that closes a sentencing loophole. Every member of #WALeg - senate & house, rep & dem - voted for this piece of public safety. Thank you Rep Leavitt for sponsoring our request legislation. It’s now headed to Gov Ferguson to sign

Follow the money and see where it goes. Elon Musk was just awarded a $5.9 billion taxpayer-funded SpaceX contract by Trump—the largest in a new package of space deals. Trump ensured Musk got the money, fully aware he’s facing “steep personal cost.”

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Bates: He inherited an economy that was the best-performing in the world. But in just two months, he’s crashing that economy with the biggest tax increase on middle-class families in 50 years—raising the prices he promised he would lower, and breaking his number one promise to them.

We’ve set up a new task force to help keep you safe. At the last nationwide protest, 11 MAGA supporters were arrested for assaulting peaceful protesters—thanks to local authorities. We have coalition members at protests across the country to help monitor and stand alongside you.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

Groups across the country have received letters notifying them that their grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities have been canceled, raising alarms about serious harm to museums, historical sites, and a wide range of community projects.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

Help us get the word out for Hands Off! on April 5 Help us spread the word about this Saturday's Hands Off! mass mobilization! These quarter-page fliers are designed to be printed out and tacked up in public places, left at cafes, or handed out. Share them by email or social media and ask everyone…

Trump is a terrible gambler - he bankrupted two casinos. Now he’s gambling with the world economy and your financial future. It’s going to be worse than you think.

We appreciate that Senator Booker is putting in all of this work to get attention where it belongs: The Trump-Musk coup. We don’t want to see Democrats behaving like this dangerous administration is business as usual — we hope more of your colleagues will follow your lead here.
