Amplify this. More DOGE hijinks messing wildly with people’s lives.

The American government is paying to keep an innocent man in a death camp.

We now know how long it take to go from democracy to dictatorship…100 days.

Note that all 5 original plaintiffs in the Boasberg case denies that he is even a member of Tren de Aragua--meaning it's possible that there is a multiple Arbego-Garcia problem.

There should be no nonessential travel to the United States. Tourism dollars are better spent here in Canada or in a friendly country where the rule of law is respected.

"This isn't a battle of your choosing. But it is the battle for which you will always be judged. This is the moment you must show the world and history which side of the Edmund Pettis Bridge you are standing on." - Stuart Stevens

Scientists hail ‘strongest evidence’ so far for life beyond our solar system

James Mann: “He will be missed, and never more than right now, as President Donald Trump and his aides question the value of the alliances in which Armitage believed so strongly.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This is everything you need to know right here… Not only is the Trump administration not asking for Kilmar Abrego García’s return—they’re paying El Salvador to keep him locked up at CECOT, one of the most notorious in the country. Bottom line: Trump WANTS to keep him there. CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS‼️

TRUMP 2nd TERM: And just like that, American exceptionalism—a thing of the past…

Stand strong Harvard!

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

NEWS: DOJ is appealing *both* today's order finding probable cause for criminal contempt from Judge Boasberg in the AEA case to the D.C. Circuit *and* the April 10 order from Judge Xinis in Abrego Garcia's case finding the government in noncompliance with that court's orders to the Fourth Circuit.

Under pressure from DOGE, nearly all the staff of the Defense Digital Service — the Pentagon’s fast-track tech development arm — are resigning over the coming month. The resignations will effectively shut down the decade-old program after the end of April.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Trump ends promising cancer research. USA! USA! “Two patients’ treatments using the experimental therapy had to be delayed because NIH’s capacity to make personalized cell therapies has been slowed by the firing of highly skilled staff..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

Social Security offices closing down, economy in a tailspin, and your 401k is up in smoke. They know you counted on these things but they just don't care. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va2T...

You know who should lose their tax exempt status and be taxed as political entities for pushing politics loooooooooong before Harvard? Christian Nationalist megachurches that supported Trump and his current brand of fascism.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

In new statement on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Maryland's Senator Chris Van Hollen says: "It should be a priority of the U.S. government to secure his safe release, which is why tomorrow I am traveling to El Salvador."

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

Trump would be ‘very happy’ to send ‘homegrowns’ to El Salvador’s prisons. It’s ‘incredibly illegal’

This is nonsense

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

Dow Down 2200+ Points Fox:

Now we need a discharge petition in the House to get around Mike Johnson.

Yes, this is exactly what leapt out on me as I read it

So sad. www.npr.org/2014/04/01/2...

BREAKING: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen just announced that the E.U. is preparing further countermeasures against the 20% tariffs Trump imposed on them. The trade war is officially on. Damn.

Never in my decade of filing FOIA requests have I gotten a response like this. Customs and Border Protection denies my request, saying "Due to law enforcement sensitivities we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records." No exemption cited, no name of who wrote this.

I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Schimel lost.

@booker.senate.gov didn’t just “talk” for a record setting amount of time. He made speeches, taught lessons, he inspired and informed. This is just incredibly impressive work from the senator, his staff, and the colleagues who helped. The bar’s been raised Democrats. Keep it going.

Members of the MAGA National Security Council including idiot Michael Waltz have been conducting government business over personal unsecured Gmail accounts. But her emails. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton.

I know we can't personal responsibility our way out of the US gov destroying our vital health departments. But wearing a high-quality mask (N95, KN95, etc) in public spaces is still the easiest best way you can protect yourself and community. If you quit masking, now is a good time to start again!

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Fascist republicans did everything they could to try and take Hillary Clinton down including falsely accusing her of crimes/corruption that they’re committing or already committed as well as wasting millions in taxpayer dollars for sham hearings and fake investigations.

Hell to the yes, Nazi Musk’s felony bribery scheme in Wisconsin has now failed with Susan Crawford defeating MAGA-backed candidate Brad Schimel in the Supreme Court election thus preserving the liberal 4-3 majority. Well done Wisconsin! 💙👊

Hillary Clinton has officially joined Bluesky. Instant follow.
