DHS Secretary Noem: Deportation without due process is a danger to Americans, public safety, and democracy. Andry Hernández Romero must immediately be returned to the U.S. from the maximum-security El Salvador prison so his case may be evaluated.

Good question!

It’s Palm Sunday and Russians fired a ballistic missile right into the center of Sumy. There are gruesome pictures and videos of people lying the ground. Dozens are dead. Anyone who thinks that peace can be achieved with Putin is not only a fool, he is the heir to the throne of the kingdom of fools.

So, I guess the guy who tried to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is another one of those radical left-wing lunatics that President Trump is always going on about. OH! Wait a minute!... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Never Forget…..

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man. Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily — the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

Do a good turn daily.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Homeless workers now have to submit *proof of employment* to be allowed to sleep in their cars in one of the richest counties in the U.S. Welcome to America: people shivering overnight in subzero temperatures, steps from luxury ski resorts, for the privilege of keeping the local economy booming.

NEW: The govt has filed it's daily status report on Abrego Garcia. ICE official Evan Katz declares Abrego Garcia was removed illegally, but that's okay now because the government has declared he's a member of MS13, and they have no further updates. WOW. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Doge not saving you money

Under the Trump budget plan just passed by Congress, a staggering 70% of House Republicans would personally financially benefit from extending major tax loopholes. More money for them, paid for by cuts to YOUR benefits.

For @us.theguardian.com, I interviewed librarians about the impact of Trump’s administration, including the Institute of Museum and Library Services being gutted, experiences at work, & the incredible importance of library resources, programming, and support: “We get everyone at the library.”

Imagine your own congressman screwing you over just to “own the libs.” Speaker Johnson: Working overtime to hand more cash to billionaires and big corporations — you know, the ones really struggling. He’s up for reelection along with the rest of the House. Stand up. Vote him out.

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, said he and his family were evacuated from their home early on Sunday after an arson attack that significantly damaged a section of the governor’s residence.

Ass backwards state

When everything gets overwhelming, I make a point to seek out the natural world. The trees and mountains stand witness to the fact that every despot and petty tyrant is nothing to the grandness of it all. It truly is healing to me. Blue Mountain - Missoula, Montana

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.
