JUST IN: @ACLU tells court there are indications Trump administration may be preparing men in Colorado for another Alien Enemies Act deportation flight. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Days before ICE detained Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk, the State Dept. determined that the Trump administration had not produced evidence showing she engaged in antisemitic activities or made public statements supporting a terrorist organization. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Let’s send food safety inspectors to the coal mines’

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.

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

And wait until we see, on the other side of the ledger, higher borrowing costs (from decreased demand for Treasury securities) and decreased revenues (from laxer tax enforcement if not also tax cuts).

It’s unconscionable for any Democrat to vote for a Republican bill whose sole purpose is to disenfranchise millions of voters & undermine democracy. The others at least hold Trump districts, but Ed Case holds a 62-37 Harris seat in a dark blue state. Put him at the top of the primary target list

These are the kind of memes currently circulating on Chinese social media. Trump bringing manufacturing back to America…

Yes. I have tried to argue over and over that Trump/Vance's large scale destruction of clean energy manufacturing jobs (the manufacturing jobs of the future!) should be relevant to discussions of their stated goal of reinvigorating US manufacturing. No one listens newrepublic.com/article/1933...

Important part of SCOTUS opinion rejects Trump DOJ position: "AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act...within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief...before such removal occurs"

#ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson lives in a $3.7 million D.C. townhouse with evangelical pastor Steve Berger, who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie." Berger's project: ministering to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.”

"With Tesla’s continued sales drop, Musk is getting a harsh reminder that he’s not the only one who can wield a pocketbook to send a message." Damn right he is. And we're gonna keep on sending it. #teslatakedown www.cnn.com/2025/04/03/b...

Great news! And great larger lesson!

Every time I get a journalist call for comment now I close my remarks with “members of a government that believes it is not bound by the rule of law are not entitled to its protection.”
