“We”? Why did so many see it, and so many not? When you answer THAT question, you’ll understand what ails this country.

A judge blocked Musk staffers from accessing Social Security data, but of course, they’ve ignored those orders. We warned this was happening: Musk operatives have been marking individuals in the Social Security system as dead in an effort to pressure immigrants to self-deport.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Here’s an idea for Passover, the Freedom Holiday: When El Salvador’s President Bukele enters the White House Monday April 14 for an “official working visit,” he should BRING MR. GARCIA WITH HIM, HOPEFULLY ALIVE, AND RETURN THE RANSOM HE COLLECTED FOR ENSLAVING THAT LAWLESSLY SEIZED INNOCENT MAN.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

The GOP Tax Scam takes food out of the mouths of children to reward their billionaire donors like Elon Musk. Democrats will strongly oppose this reckless budget. And we can defeat it tomorrow on the House floor if just four Republicans join us.

House Democrats will continue to strongly oppose the reckless Republican budget scheme. Hands off Medicaid, our veterans and nutritional assistance for the children of America.

Trump’s view on trade deficits is like getting mad at Target because you spend money there but they never buy anything from you. It’s just complete brain dead nonsense.

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

No concern for whether the firings were illegal; no concern for whether his constituents are suffering now. Just an opportunity to be mean and cruel, which brings a smile to his face. The GOP in a nutshell.

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.'"

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

An “administrative error”—plus no due process (a trial; a lawyer, etc.)— and you could be deported. Anyone could be deported. And then abandoned by the government. Anyone.

Yep. Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.” apnews.com/article/soci...

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

New in PN: Trump’s "Crypto Reserve" is a world historical grift "The boondoggle is so clumsy it barely feels like a scam. Instead, it functions as an open declaration of Trump’s contempt for the public & his office. If you wondered what living in an authoritarian kleptocracy is like, this is it."

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match. Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:

Canceling contracts worth $2 Billion to US farmers seems like it would hurt US farmers. Why do the Muskrats want to hurt our farmers? Weird. Maybe they aren’t actually geniuses and this isn’t actually an “audit”.
