With nearly 40 years of legal practice, lawyer Abbe Lowell has represented many powerful people. Now he's starting a new law firm to represent those who have drawn the ire of President Trump. By @carriejohnson.bsky.social

I was among the people interview for this piece. Glad to see 60 Minutes standing behind it.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Should this happen, the event would be countered by a massive turnout of citizens protesting his birth.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Why is it up to @rollingstone.com to write the most honest and direct headlines? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A million times yes!!

Dear god let this man cook.

National Law Day of Action -- May 1st Lawyers, law firms, bar associations, the general public lawdayofaction.org

ICYMI: Despite slashing govt programs we rely on, crashing markets, and threatening Social Security and Medicare, Elon Musk & this admin have spent $220 BILLION MORE this year than Democrats did at this same point last year. BTW, that's also before they gave the Pentagon ANOTHER $150 BILLION.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

SNAP helps millions put food on the table while supporting local farmers and grocers. Our families and farmers are already feeling the pain of Trump's tariffs— And now Republicans want to gut this lifeline and take food out of children’s mouths to fund billionaire tax cuts. So much needless harm.

Arresting judges. Disappearing people. Punishing law firms. The Supreme needs to come down on him like a ton of judicial bricks now, not later, when it could be too late. Authoritarians get more dangerous the longer they are accommodated.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

This is absolutely brutal

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer, AP reports

The "special government employee" role Elon Musk has been abusing should be ELIMINATED. NO ONE should be able to spend 130 days/year in the government with ZERO ethics oversight, ZERO review of conflicts of interest, ZERO divestment of financial interests END THE CORRUPTION

Today in America, the rich are getting richer & working families are struggling. What is Mr. Trump doing about this? He's getting ready to give tax cuts to billionaires while making it harder for Americans to access the Medicare, Social Security & veterans benefits they earned.

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

BREAKING: Harvard has sued the Trump Administration, the first Republican in Congress calls on Pete Hegseth to resign, Kristi Noem had thousands of dollars in cash stolen from her, and so much more. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

3,000 people die of food poisoning each year in this country. This is not Making America Healthy Again. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/fda...

🤣🤣

Americans are entitled to and should demand better than this from the President of the United States.

Do they even read the files they post?

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

For context, down 64% on imports is if im correct far bigger than we saw during Covid (~30% drop) and bordering on Great Depression levels (-70%).

People want institutions to stand up www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," immigrants, and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

On April 16, 1862, Lincoln signed the DC Compensated Emancipation Act, ending slavery in the capital & freeing 3,000+ people, months before the Emancipation Proclamation. It paid slaveholders for the slaves that were freed. 126 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

Note that last point… 🤔

Notice how many lies within lies. They didn’t “deport” him. They contracted to imprison him in a foreign country’s concentration camp. With no due process. That’s before the veracity of the “MS13”’ is proven. Lies nested in lies. Probably got the idea from Russian nested dolls.

At that meeting when Marjorie Taylor Greene started unleashing thugs upon innocent civilians, there should’ve been some counter-group (full of big gnarly men) standing on the sidelines, waiting to overpower all those sons-a-bitches. Throw them all in jail cells, including that Butch body bitch.

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.
