Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

“The surplus that we boast about so much is not the result of careful management of our resources. It’s not even the result of good luck. It’s the result of underfunding public education relative to the rest of the nation.” - @repjohnbryant.bsky.social #txlege

HAPPENING NOW: At the federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, Judge Paula Xinis is set to begin a hearing on the government’s efforts – or lack thereof – to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident who was wrongly removed to El Salvador. Follow along for updates ⬇️

DOJ's Ensign giving away store in Abrego Garcia hearing.⤵️ He seems to be admitting here diplomatic efforts with El Salvador are within four corners of Judge Xinis's order (per Supreme Court ruling) and fair for court to ask about them. Removes barriers to compliance and, if no compliance, contempt

Dachau was one of the first concentration camps that was built and intended for Hitler’s political opponents: journalists, democrats, or anyone that defied him. Sound familiar? If you’re not afraid, you’re not paying attention. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachau_...

What. The. Fuck?

Article III, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution doesn't agree with this. Nor does Article I, Section 8. I let people much smarter than me chime in on why this blanket statement is false.

Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and stop cosplaying as an ICE agent.

Let’s go 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Target not only turned its back on diversity it spit in our faces. My wife and I haven’t been back since January — and we won’t be. We take our money where people like us are seen, valued, and respected. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

15,000 people RSVP’d for this monumental event. OVER 36,000 people stepped up and showed up to be part of the Fighting the Oligarchy event in L.A. on Saturday!! Our movement is absolutely massive, and building by the day!!

At least 75% of the men Trump illegally deported to El Salvador have no criminal records. These men have been abducted and sent to a hell-hole Salvadoran “prison” that is the the equivalent of a torture-laden concentration camp. No due process. The Trump regime is paying El Salvador $6 million…

It’s so rare to be able to connect economic results to a single action. The president’s mass flinging of tariffs around the world is such a moment. The ability to change course lies with the GOP majority. Don’t give them a pass; all this damage is on them. apnews.com/article/trum...

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

If We Taxed Billionaires their full Tax Burden (like we are taxed) and Raise the Social Security Contribution Cap from $168,000 income per year to $1 Million we could pay Social Security Back the $2.5 Trillion the GOP "Borrowed" from it and have a surplus to keep us Solvent Forever!

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: “So, this president who claims he loves the troops more than anyone… This week has shown that he was willing to make time for golf, for people who are lining his pockets, and for conspiracy theorists… But not for fallen soldiers. Got it.”

This guy is going off about DOGE cutting the program to address first responders' health problems as a result of 9/11: "Some ignorant kids took their chain saw to a program...The unconscionable, disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, malicious actions of DOGE is an atrocity..."

While Republicans hide, Cory Booker shows up and gives his constituents a voice. Who’s cutting onions?

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

The Lithuanian president showed up to honor dead American soldiers as their remains departed his country. The American president did not show up to receive their remains as they arrived in the US. He had a golf tournament to get to.

1/8 Trump’s gov’t just locked out Head Start staff & cut off funding for child care in cities like Seattle, Chicago, & NYC. No warning. No plan. Just cruelty—aimed at poorest kids in Blue states. If that doesn’t enrage you, it should. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

“It’s a shame about those dead soldiers and the Wall Street crash. Okay, let’s go golfing.”

This is unacceptable and inhumane

Trump’s legacy is one of broken promises—bankruptcies in business, betrayals in politics. Now, he’s wrecking trust in America’s alliances, economy, and government. Once trust is gone, it takes generations to rebuild. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

This isn't just reckless, its sloppy... This #whiskeyleaks bullshit isn't just a dumpster fire... It's a landfill...

#ProudBlue #MomSky Wow! Just Wow! Two of the people said they were in or have direct knowledge of at least 20 such chats. All four said they saw instances of sensitive information being discussed. We should be pushing for firings! www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

Senator Cory Booker concludes his record-breaking Senate Floor speech after 25 hours Massive applause for Booker

Let the investigation begin! Right, Republicans? How many Congressional committees are going to hold hearings? How many years are they going to spend on this?

Quite fascinating indeed. Tha cream doesn't always rise to the top.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

HELP! I'm being inspired against my own will! I'm feeling seen! I'm uncovering hope under layers of cynicsm! Who is this spokesperson for a self-reflective party that is committing to fight back, and what does he think he's doing??

Thank you Cory. Keep going! 👏🏼

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cory Booker breaks the record for longest Senate speech, previously held by segregationist Strom Thurmond.

Canadian physician, Dr. Danielle Martin owns the Americans! #cdnpoli

😡😡😡 no investigation? After all the investigations into Hillary’s emails??
