Hey @kathryntewson.bsky.social , a little schadenfreude to go with your morning coffee? And @izzos.us , well...just try not to spill yours from laughing so hard.

House Democrats will hold a Save Social Security Day of Action tomorrow throughout America.

This.

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @ivey.house.gov discusses how Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally deported by the Trump Administration, denied due process and sent to an infamous prison in El Salvador. The court has ordered him to be returned and this Administration must comply without delay.

Director John Ratcliffe broke the law. He must resign.

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Asian markets are like Target for people who like to cook. You go in for one item, spend an hour wandering the aisles and then end up with a cart full of things you're sure you actually need but don't know exactly know when.

I just signed legislation and an executive order to rapidly deploy $171M in expanded forest and vegetation management across California. By slashing red tape that often delays larger projects from getting done, we're doing more than ever to protect Californians from wildfires.

The absolutely most amazing thing about this whole debacle is that the one justification people had to go in there after the boycott was to support the Black owned businesses that had contracts with them. And then they went and pulled those products. And now people are Costco pot-committed.

Why would I build factories in America which seems to have about as stable a government as Somalia does, when I could build factories in Europe, and simply charge Americans more? I put my factories where they have plenty of educated workers, poach the American engineers and avoid 150E6% tariffs.

If you gaze long enough into the brobyss, the brobyss gazes back.

I am saddened and deeply disturbed to learn about the arson attack on @governor.pa.gov's residence in Harrisburg. I am praying for him and for his family's safety, and I am grateful to the law enforcement and first responders who acted quickly to bring them to safety.
