I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Signal Gate, the failed tariffs and trade, Kilmar Garcia and the attack on Harvard...all tipping points within the past two weeks. The result of people asking questions, asking follow ups, not bending the knee, not being quiet. The Trump regime is buckling and lashing out.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

I'm fighting back against the illegal layoffs at the Social Security Administration. These layoffs and the chaotic management at the SSA cause confusion, lead to longer wait times, and jeopardize payments that millions of New Yorkers depend on for their most basic needs.

President Trump said there will be tariffs on pharmaceuticals. USTR Greer told CBS News’s Face The Nation that those tariffs are coming but when asked for specifics he said there still had to be an investigation to determine the tariffs and disputed that the outcome was predetermined.

Unless there’s pushback in court and in protests, they will continue to disappear people to a foreign prison camp for life. They’ve said they will.

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Attacking trans kids won't make groceries cheaper. Gutting funding for schools, libraries, and museums doesn't bring down utility bills. Defunding cancer research doesn't solve the housing crisis. Trump and Musk have no interest in doing anything that actually helps people who works for a living.

Good morning Bluesky. What are any of the uber rich that have formed the broligarchy in the nation doing to help the those less fortunate than themselves and not just themselves? Don't say space travel, shopping, or social media. Asking for a friend.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

@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."

This. Also under what authority are they being held. They are not serving criminal sentences. They are not in pre-trial detention for pending immigration charges. And they are not being held in order to facilitate deportation as they have already been removed.
