@gregcasar.bsky.social: "Donald Trump must, by law, fire Elon Musk in 50 days."

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

The committee subsequently withdrew its request – a move that a Thursday press release from the Center for Constitutional Rights described as a “victory for academic freedom, the rule of law, and bedrock constitutional principles”. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

The president’s bid to overhaul major parts of our election systems threatens to disenfranchise millions of Americans, compromise sensitive voter data, and disrupt elections nationwide. Here’s what you need to know:

What he said

Ag groups on the tariffs "it is a shit show" agfundernews.com/food-ag-grou...

Yes he did

What Cory Booker did was create a potential pivot point. Through his courage and determination he has inspired and energised people. @schumer.senate.gov you need to recognise this and do the right thing. Have the courage to see this moment as one to hand the baton over.

I am often asked about my sincere belief in others & how that gives me hope. Today @booker.senate.gov gave me hope. He was heroic. He is a helper. As I say in my book Find The Helpers, what matters more than the moment is what we do next. Corey Booker just showed the way for what to do next.

If the SAVE Act becomes law, it would be the worst voting bill ever passed by Congress.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

“There’s a family that’s taking care of two parents in their 90s and disabled adult children, desperately relying on these programs. No matter what you do or say or label you slap on it… those are the types of Americans caring for their loved ones who will get hurt.” @corybooker.com speaking truth

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.'"

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏

Cory Booker is doing something incredible on the Senate floor. If you're not watching, you need to watch: www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

DOGE demanded full access to a US Department of the Interior system that handles even the Supreme Court's paychecks. When top staff asked questions, they were put on leave.

Raskin: I call on my colleagues to take down the wanted posters with judges’ faces on them outside of offices in House office buildings

“You’ll see, you’ll see, I promise you,” Peters insisted. “Just keep listening, just stick with me here, ok? … I’m a little bit ahead of people. We absolutely do need a final solution on that.” @mediaitenews.bsky.social www.mediaite.com/media/maga-p...

A reminder for this Transgender Day of Visibility: Trans people have always existed, and we always will.  No president, politician, or court can change that.

Rosie.

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter. People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government. And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

There were four Republican-backed extreme constitutional amendments on the ballot in Louisiana yesterday. The voters REJECTED them all (in a state Trump won by 22 points in November). Keep the pressure on.

Homeland Security does both photo shoots and ads now? Someone call Doge.

Everyone should take a moment to remind themselves of what the Presidential Records Act is. This is a key component: Establishes preservation requirements for official business conducted using non-official electronic messaging accounts... They used Signal, because they didn't want a record.

Spoiler He’s worried about losing the seat
