Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The Trump admin opened a backdoor to exempt companies from the Clean Air Act—with ZERO public notice or accountability. I led 59 colleagues with @markey.senate.gov demanding the names of every company that applied. Who’s trying to pollute behind closed doors? We deserve to know. We will find out.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

I’m suing DOGE! www.muellershewrote.com/p/im-suing-d...

It's not left or right. It's right or wrong. Let's get in Good Trouble. Thank you @booker.senate.gov You gave us 25 hours and 5 minutes of FIRE ❤️‍🔥

People keep saying Senator Booker's filibuster was meaningless and people who were moved by it are naive and gullible but I lived and organized in a south where this record stood and slavery and Jim Crow cast a long shadow and I tell you Booker taking that record means something.

🧵1. #BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue THERE IS A NURSE…in every hospital across the country, that knows ALL the shit. In every ward and on every floor. They know who the good doctors are, and who should retire. They know who’s competent and who’s a walking malpractice suit. …

Cory Booker is getting emotional talking about the sacrifices Americans have made for their country, including his colleague Tammy Duckworth. And he's still going strong!

Oh my fucking god. It looks like Israel murdered eight Palestine Red Crescent Society workers, a UN employee, and five civil defense staff. They crushed up and buried entire ambulances and civil defense vehicles in the fucking mass grave. www.cnn.com/2025/03/31/m...

If any random man in a mask can say he’s the police now, all it means is more women and children foreign and non foreign alike are going to be kidnapped in broad daylight and no one will stop them - we all get that right

I feel like this tweet did not get enough attention this week

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

Any cop pulling up a mask and obscuring their face should be fired. How is this legal? This is what you see in Georgia and other countries that have authoritarian regimes.

20*25. This is March.

“Forget the Signal Chat, What About the Yemen War Crimes Revealed in It?” Much of our media is missing the biggest story of all: US officials are not just breaking US and international law but confessing to it in writing. My latest for Zeteo, read/share/subscribe:

They should be fired and charged

Why are we not screaming about this?

Russia bombs hospitals intentionally. Demons

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

“The 5 things Pete Hegseth did last week” - Shared classified attack plans on an unsecured commercial chat application. - Denied doing it. - Denied the plans were classified. - Denied the plans were plans. - Attacked the journalist who proved he was lying.

Of course they are.

No accountability?

The elephant in the room.

I just got a public death threat from a few folks who noticed I am doing a library event to talk about my career and my books. They called me all the familiar names, then “I won’t be sad if someone shoots her in the face.” And a woman’s reply, “Right between the eyes.” I am a children’s author.

Good question. Why DOES Pete Hegseth have a Russian phone number? 🤨

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

Florida has been working for years to crack down on employers that hire undocumented immigrants. But that presented a problem for businesses desperate for workers to fill low-wage and often undesirable jobs. Gov. Ron DeSantis and GOP state legislators have a solution: children as young as 14.

SIGNAL GATE is a threat! The incompetence that many of us knew existed prior to the confirmation of these individuals is on full display for the WORLD & it’s weakening US, collectively. The fact that there is an obsession over wanting me silenced tells me that I need to speak out more. 🫶🏾

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

These are F-cking WAR PLANS... HEGSETH MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!

Texted LITERALLY WAR PLANS

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

💯 — not to mention the guy who chose them all

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Them: “no ‘war plans’ were discussed” The chat:

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Buttigieg: I know this in my experience, both in the cabinet and as an intelligence officer, you would have to go out of your way to take classified information and move it into an unclassified system

Only the workers will suffer in the new world order

Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist? Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes
