NY AG Letitia James has her hands full cleaning up his messes. I hope she holds him & others accountable.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

Clean-up in aisle 47

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

A witch hunt is underway. We’ve faced many before. Take a breath. Stay grounded.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Elon Musk flew with Trump on Air Force One from Palm Beach to Miami. DOGE is a scam.

STRAIGHT UP AUTHORITARIANISM!!! DOGE is secretly monitoring staff — scanning messages, watching for disloyalty— and using AI to do it. No one should have to work under these conditions.

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections. This particular decision was a fait accompli.

Lengthy wait in detention, but it's good to know there are more steps to take.

The administration has threatened a series of cuts in federal money since President Trump and Maine's Democratic Gov. Janet Mills argued in the White House. (via @mainepublic.org)

The Supreme Court has ruled. Kilmar Abrego Garcia must be returned home. Now.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.

RFK Jr is a neurotoxin poisoning our health systems.

This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

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

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

‼️ Today marks exactly one month since Russia refused to accept a full temporary ceasefire proposed by the US, - MFA From March 11 to April 11, Russia launched: ▪️~70 missiles of various types; ▪️~2,200 Shahed drones; ▪️~6,000 guided bombs.

Things to notice & say, "imagine how they managed that!'

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.

“It’s the most extraordinary attack on voting rights in American history,” Wilentz said. “This is an attempt to destroy American democracy as we know it. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

Perspective changes everything. [Ars Mathermatica]

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.
