BREAKING: The ROM has confirmed to me that their board director — who I reported is tied to Trump’s mass deportations — has stepped down!

I had a letter to the editor published in the local Pennysaver 20 years ago so I'm looking forward to getting my media credentials for tonight's Leaders' Debate.

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

DHS is threatening to revoke Harvard’s ability to host international students and the IRS is looking at revoking their tax exemption. The “stop the weaponization of government” crowd sure is quiet as fuck on this one.

this is just a horrible, pathological liar. we know that. but they know they've lost the public on this one. the escalation is the giveaway

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today? And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.

Shut down the debate commission. It’s failed.

IN EL SALVADOR: Senator Van Hollen says Trump is in violation of court orders — and is paying El Salvador to imprison an innocent man. (And #KilmarÁbregoGarcía is not the only one)

#ProudBlue We thought we were paying, but it's now been confirmed by Sen. Chris Van Hollen who spoke to the Salvadoran VP. We are selling people to CECOT. When will the madness end m credit: @aaronparnas.bsky.social

A reminder that there is no human being in the United States whom it would be legal to disappear to a Salvadoran prison without due process of law.

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

WATCH Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows about why the SAVE Act and EO is both unconstitutional and deeply destabilizing to the bedrock of our democracy. #HandsOffHerVote

I’ve been wanting to write this for a while. So I finally did.

AOC: I heard that someone was flying a plane with a banner that said this is Trump country… It sure don’t look like it today. I don’t think this is Trump country. This is our country.

CANADIAN REPORTER: Trump's tone on Canada has shifted. He stopped talking about Canada becoming the 51st state. LEAVITT: I would reject that the president's position on Canada has shifted. Perhaps he just hasn't been asked about it. He believes Canadians would benefit from becoming the 51st state.

no criminal record no gang ties no tattoos active pending asylum case **19 years old** sent by trump to prison (forever?) in el salvador www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

After spending weeks attacking Mark Carney's former company, it is now revealed that *SEVEN* Conservative MPs held stock in that company - including Poilievre and his Deputy Leader, Melissa Lantsman.

Mohsen Mahdawi, a green card holder & Columbia student UNLAWFULLY detained by ICE today when he went for a naturalization interview. He was not charged with a crime. To the Trump regime, he is "guilty" of: -being Palestinian -exercising his right to free speech. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

Whoa, Poilievre's announcement today: He would invoke the notwithstanding clause to overturn a Supreme Court ruling and make sure multiple murderers die in prison. This would make him the first prime minister to override the Charter using the notwithstanding clause. Aiieee

And the rest of the White House press corps did ... [fill in the blank]

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

It may be that the best reason to vote liberal right now is that all the world’s worst regimes seem to be working actively against Mark Carney…peace, order and good government are a direct threat to them.

A Louisiana immigration judge ruled Friday that recent Columbia graduate and Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported—even though Khalil has a green card, is a lawful permanent resident, and has not been charged with any crimes.

“They’ve been relentlessly dismantling every single civil rights agency in the federal government, and this could be the last one standing.” Garza added that she is “prepared to challenge any attempt to illegally remove me as chairwoman.” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

The attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was accidentally deported to El Salvador, says that him and the family have not been able to contact him and don't know his current condition. Absolutely unacceptable! Bring him HOME!

3 weeks ago I dropped everything to apply my art to #elbowsup movement. I have a small sustainable clothing brand and created this shirt (and car stickers!) for #Canadians to celebrate canada and fight back in a polite but firm way! 🇨🇦 #canada #art #positive www.kickstarter.com/projects/kri...

How much of your money does the Fed give American-owned oil & gas sector in #Canada? Last year it was nearly $30B And nearly $80B since 2019 That's your money, and it's not being reinvested in Canada nor spent on decarbonization Latest @desmog.bsky.social #cdnpoli www.desmog.com/2025/04/09/c...

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
