The ACLU is no longer posting on Twitter. They have abandoned their 1.6 million follower account and are now posting on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/aclu...

Tomorrow, El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. The press needs to drive a wedge between him & Trump's lies in court that he has no power to get Kilmar Abrego García released. "Why are you refusing to cooperative with President Trump to release innocent Kilmar Abrego García?"

Every single time.

Do you know where the fighting oligarchy tour is needed the most right now? North Carolina, where they’re trying to literally steal an election that they lost after the fact and most of the legislative system is letting them 1/2

The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah. Wow.

Why can’t Trump, Vance or Rubio simply say this? Why won’t they?

Bowhead #whales are true survivors, traveling long distances beneath thick ice. When open water’s not available, they use the top of their head to push through the thinnest ice, creating a breathing hole to survive the harsh conditions. [dailywhaledose]

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.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

One minute Trump had us assembling iPhones and building robots, and now that’s off and he wants us to be coal miners instead.

The Trump regime has ordered the US military to turn the land at the US-Mexico border into a "military installation”. The move would allow the regime to incur higher legal and illegal penalties on migrants and refugees who cross extrajudicially. #MexicoInvasion

Did we really ship $350 Billion to Ukraine without any oversight?! Of course not. And it isn’t anywhere near that number. Here’s the truth: youtu.be/ZROD0LjN3HU?...

BREAKING: AOC bringing the house down in Utah. “It will never be just institutions and officials alone who uphold our democracy. It will always be the people, the masses who refused to comply with authoritarian regimes who are the last and strongest defense of our country and our freedom.”

“..’Musk’s response shocked Europeans: ‘Be quiet, small man. .. there is no substitute for Starlink.’ “.. Berneke said her phone blew up after that. Panicked European officials wanted to know what Eutelsat could deliver in Ukraine, and how fast.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/europe...

In my experience, classified doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have to tell the judge, unless you want to concede the case.

Very fair requests by attorneys for Abrego Garcia⬇️ Needed transparency for all the detainees unlawfully sent to El Salvador torture center. - compel government to produce written documents on agreement with El Salvador - require government officials to appear as witnesses before district court

I’m grateful the Shapiro family is safe. It’s despicable for this to happen as the Jewish community is celebrating Passover. Political violence has no place in our country.

Our federal judiciary remains a vital check on tyrannical threats to liberty. Join the April 15 nationwide rally for justice speakupforjustice.law

“.. judging only from price action, we are suddenly witnessing a comprehensive turn away from US assets (stocks, USTs, corporate credit and the dollar). this is the single most important theme to monitor over coming weeks. .. for the moment capital is flowing out of the US.” - GS Desk/Pasquariello

Doge not saving you money

Trump is planning to honor himself on his birthday by charging taxpayers $92 million for a 4-mile-long military parade. So, one of the things he learned from Kim Jong Un was how to masterbate in public. And some of you somehow approve. Which means you’re in a cult.

Today's recalcitrant DOJ update on Kilmar Abrego Garcia predictably reopens the tedious debate over the meaning of "facilitate." DOJ claims it means merely *permitting* his entrance into the US, without requiring "any affirmative steps." DOJ is wrong. 🧵 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Grateful that @governor.pa.gov and his family are safe after an apparent act of arson at his residence. Acts of violence have no place in our politics. Those responsible should be held accountable.

The Trump regime’s special envoy Witkoff amid Russia’s daily terrorist attacks in Ukraine: “I don't regard Putin as a bad guy.”

I keep puzzling over how Rubio thinks it'll bring PROSPERITY to kidnap gay hairdressers based on their tattoos & then pay $20K/year to detain them in a slave camp. We could have spent that $6M on supporting trade with Congo instead, but Rubio has decided torture is better for profits?

I have this radical lefty belief that voting should be easier than buying a gun.

Mike Johnson: "We have to eliminate people on Medicaid who are not actually eligible to be there. Able-bodied workers for example, young men who should never be on the program at all."

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.

Join me in Farmington, Missouri on April 19 at 6pm at Long Memorial Hall. Let’s discuss what we can do to help organize rural Missouri and build the party from the bottom up. Rural Democrats are here and we can help take our country back.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

He's manufacturing chaos because he has nothing to offer. No vision. No ideas. No interest in building anything. Just tearing down what others have built.

As of 6 pm today, 34 people were killed and 117 injured by the Russian strike on Sumy. Two of the killed and 15 of the injured are children. The Russian strike killed everyone in the Martynenko family - mom, dad and their son Maksym, a six-grader. Deepest condolences.

Khanna: "This is not something the president will be able to spin. Either we're gonna see new factories come, or we're not. And tariffs just aren't going to do that."

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.
