"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

Who figured out what stars are made of? Cecilia Payne. 1925, her research proved that stars are mostly hydrogen & helium overturning old assumptions. Changed astrophysics but was stuck with the title “technical asst” for decades. Time to make her name harder to forget. https://tinyurl.com/2p9ebubh 🗃️

Sharing this again, friends - it's urgent. Adams serves Trump, not New York. And the best and maybe only way for citizens to push him out is to defeat him in the Democratic primary in June. So please register as a D by the end of day TOMORROW online! That's the online deadline - let's do this!

Ex-National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox has sued the Trump admin over her abrupt removal from the agency. The complaint: "The President's removal of Ms. Wilcox without even purporting to identify any neglect of duty or malfeasance … defies ninety years of Supreme Court precedent."

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that they can.

it’s hard not to feel disillusioned when reporting all the flagrantly illegal and terrifying things this government is doing somehow doesn’t fully break through to the mainstream. it feels like cable news and corporate media made a deal to convince people to keep calm and carry on.

Again: the TSA's algorithm put Tulsi Gabbard on a watch list because of her suspicious travel patterns. Don't you think anyone that suspicious should maybe not be the DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE? Why is the TSA algorithm smarter than Republican senators?

The Trump Tariffs are ILLEGAL. He does NOT have the unilateral authority to amend trade agreements with Canada and Mexico. He needs Congressional approval -- and he does NOT have it. The tariffs should be challenged in court -- and overruled by Congress. NOW.
