Educating international students is a massive export of services. They pay us money earned in a foreign nation for a product the US has, until now, had an absolute advantage in. We cannot effectively sell these services if these students can be deported, detained, and even kidnapped at random.

Amy Klobuchar demanding to speak at the massive Hands Off Rally in Saint Paul and then spending the next week confirming Trump appointees is amazing. Just tremendous contempt for her constituents.

Disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has entered the NYC mayoral race and catapulted directly into the polling lead, with the help of his widespread name recognition—and some journalists willing to lend a hand to his image rehabilitation campaign. fair.org/home/nyt-cov...

Cuomo's backers don't think he'll be a good leader, they KNOW he's a vengeful monster and they don't want to get on his bad side. Cowards! His accusers- including his 27-year-old assistant- showed far more backbone than some of the most powerful people in NYC politics. They should be ashamed.

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

Message to the importing folks: There’s not enough Customs Inspectors to clear your shipments and collect the tariffs, so get that stuff onto a truck or train and into distribution. If the Administration wants their taxes, they can track it down themselves.

Cuomo doesn't like that we’re reminding New Yorkers about his record on housing. Well, facts are a stubborn thing. Under Cuomo, rents rose 52% and housing prices soared 77%. It’s time for new leadership.

Tariffs: they’re not a law, and laws are no longer necessary to obey; so why not just refuse to pay tariffs? We can still make , buy, and trade globally. We don’t have to do what the clown show in the White House says, right?

every time someone says they believe in giving a person a second chance about Andrew Cuomo, I want that person to explain what real, legally punitive consequences he faced for the laws he broke and the unconscionable things he did with his first chance

Cuomo the abuser is just one man, but the cowardice of leaders who won’t speak up against him says everything about our era. Fascism isn’t a one party trend. It’s a hateful and cowardly tendency that relies on humanity’s worst predilections. Don’t be fooled.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Hello! The US housing market has gotten very expensive, but I still dream of one day owning a home in a walkable neighborhood. In that spirit, I'm offering my consulting services. If you support the Trump tariffs, I can help you find US suppliers. Let me show you some examples. 🧵

“What did they expect?” is kind of a misleading question. The people who supported them didn’t expect something very specific. They expected to own the libs. They expected people they resented to suffer. The expected the world to burn. It wasn’t about specifics.

Weird how the witnesses lined up to support bills ostensibly about "data privacy" and "social media addiction" all seem to end up talking about all the bad things on social media. It's almost like it's always actually about the content, regardless of what anyone says.

I'm not exactly sure how to phrase this but I think one of the problems dogging Dems is that they're still looking for the One Neat Trick that will turn back the clock to pre-2016 and get us back on the trajectory of "normal." But people hated that "normal," and also it's a decade gone, now.

If Trump & Musk have suffered an unprecedented number of judicial injunctions, it is because they have committed an unprecedented number of illegal actions. We don’t have rogue district judges, we have a rogue president violating the Constitution & breaking the law every day. Watch my statement:
