FAFO www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... "Last month, Nicholas Gilbert received a delivery of grain for the 1,400 cows he tends at his dairy farm in Potsdam, New York, 20 miles from the Ontario border. The feed came with a surprise tariff of $2,200 tacked on."

Morning!

one MILLION percent tariff

She told us so

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

Sen Chris Van Hollen- "I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior govt officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia...." I hope he took a team of journalists to document.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Maybe it’s just me, but we’ve been in a Constitutional crisis ever since the orange felon plotted a seditious coup against the United States as well as committed espionage and wasn’t sent to jail, so him ignoring the Supreme Court is yet another lawless action taken by a tyrant.

BREAKING: Days after a Louisiana judge ruled that the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, thousands are holding an emergency Passover Seder at the ICE headquarters in New York City, saying: If you come for one, you face us all.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?

We are now hostages in a police state And you know what always happens to people who run police states #Mahdawi

Extremely packed stadium in deep-red Idaho for AOC and Bernie Sanders' Fighting Oligarchy rally!

Today, @fernandez.house.gov and I met with Pecos community leaders to discuss our Pecos Watershed Protection Act. Pecos deserves clean water free from harmful mining pollution and we’ll continue to push for permanent protections to protect the Pecos River.

Good for Harvard

This is the energy we need!!! bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Trump and the GOP are destroying the economy, silencing dissent, using the government to punish law firms and others who oppose Trump and threatening to deport Americans to a prison in El Salvador but what is corporate media reporting on: Democrats are in disarray. Im serious.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

We have a fascist government.

Trump is denying due process to foreign nationals here legally before ripping them from their families and deporting them. Do we really believe this regime will follow any sort of due process for American citizens before Trump tries to deport them? Call it what it is: fascism.

"Do you know one thing I never did to cope or in response to my autism? Repeatedly fire off a Nazi Roman salute." An incredible piece from The Big Picture that doesn’t hold back.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

New records reveal that Marjorie Taylor Greene bought thousands of dollars in stock right before Trump’s tariff pause announcement caused markets to surge.

Utah!

How Fox this morning frames Russia’s latest missile attacks against civilians: “Both sides now accusing each other of violating the 30-day cease fire agreement.”

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.

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

The same newspaper that gleefully profiles "MAGA fashionistas" also ponders how Palestinian emergency workers "ended up" in a mass grave. They ended up in a mass grave because Israeli war criminals put them there. That's your headline. It's maddening how the Post is rapidly turning into Fox News.

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. I explain in a short video: snyder.substack.com/p/fomenting-...

BREAKING: Over 15,000 people have already packed into the Fighting Oligarchy Tour stop in Los Angeles—and Bernie Sanders and AOC don’t even speak for another two hours. If this kind of turnout keeps up, Republicans could be facing real headwinds in 2026.

Happy Passover! Gwen and I wish all those who celebrate a meaningful holiday filled with joy, renewal, and hope. Chag Sameach!

15,000 people RSVP’d for this monumental event. OVER 36,000 people stepped up and showed up to be part of the Fighting the Oligarchy event in L.A. on Saturday!! Our movement is absolutely massive, and building by the day!!

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.
