It's interesting how the majority of White women weren't "brave enough" to vote for Democrats in the last three presidential election cycles.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

love this for us

They're not wearing masks now.

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.

The six-part podcast, based on interviews with MOVE members, neighbors, and journalists who covered the bombing, debuts April 22. (1/3) 🔗 inquirer.com/news/move-bo...

I think this bears writing plainly: the reason all of these government officials and law enforcement agents are willing to break the law as plainly and unrepentantly as they are is because of pardons. They expect to be pardoned. We expect them to be pardoned. There is no law today. Only power.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Well played.

Make it make sense

“My mother said, ‘Every kick’s a boost,’ and over the last 27 years, I’ve had lots of kicks and boosts..." - Rue McClanahan I may have been down, but I'm not out!

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

Worth noting that your 401k burned like a Tesla so Hegseth could keep day drinking at the Pentagon. #Deflection Fuck Trump

This!

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

Fun fact: global computer chip production depends on a single piece of technology manufactured by a single company - ASML's photolithography machines. ASML is a Dutch company. A single ASML photolithography machine just became dozens of millions of dollars more expensive for the U.S. market.

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.

At least three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/7n8dex

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

🚨🚨Calling all North Carolina voters!! Here is a list of every voter that Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise, please if you are a NC voter check to see if your name is on here, you have 15 days to cure your ballot to make sure your vote counts. thegriffinlist.com/assets/griff...

All I will say is that we are one day closer.

Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.” Trumpers voted for an incompetent, treasonous con man because THEY were too hateful.

me to the united states: this could be us but you playin’

The incompetence of this Administration never ceases to amaze. Waltz and other NSC members used Gmail to conduct official government business, with Waltz’s staff even sharing information about sensitive military positions and advanced weapon systems tied to an ongoing conflict.

I wonder how many people realize the tariff on auto parts causes car insurance premiums to go up?

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson? “You are worthy.” That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been. @booker.senate.gov

Girl fight!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Today, Rep. Dan Goldman and I re-introduced the Abortion Care Awareness Act of 2025. This bill directs HHS to launch a national education campaign so people know their rights, understand their options, and can access accurate info about abortion care.

Time to speak up

I just sent Cory Booker money. I will send money to anyone who fights, and I will not send money to anyone who cowers in fear. That has to be the situation, for all of us.

This keeps getting worse and worse.

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering
