The Constitution is clear: the President can't arrest people he disagrees with. By detaining Mahmoud Khalil — a legal permanent resident whose American wife is 8-months pregnant — Donald Trump seeks to undermine basic freedoms. We must oppose this move toward authoritarianism.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Haven’t even read the piece but this simple point is 100% right. And not simply as branding. America has a robust civic democratic tradition, rich w libertarian (and not in the modern weird sense) symbols and touchstones, anti-autocratic totems. It’s the touchstone of the country’s civic mythology.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

At the protest for veterans in DC.

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.

Why are all the real pedophiles prominent Republicans?

everyone should listen to this in its entirety but journalists should listen to it multiple times. this is how you ask questions. you just keep asking simple, easily answerable stuff and the evasiveness becomes that much more glaring

Alabama, like other states, depends on NOAA warnings for early preparedness for events like this. Early preparedness saves lives. But Trump & Musk are killing off NOAA. www.al.com/weather/2025...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

🚨 Holy crap. Marco Rubio is seemingly purporting to exempt nearly all immigration regulations and policy, along with things like export controls, trade rules, and more, from notice and comment rulemaking requirements. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-04116.pdf

I’ll be on CNN at 6 with @jaketapper.bsky.social to discuss Senate Democrats’ responsibility to protect the federal government and vote NO on cloture and the GOP spending bill

Did this really happen? It's so cruel but also...who has the time? These fucking fucks...

NEW: DOGE backtracks on promises of transparency, making its new errors harder to find. (We found more anyway) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u...

Well I just love this.

This is, in its own way, as aggressive as the Khalil arrest. This couple have one form of legal protection (TPS). They have an application in for another (asylum). And now they’re being charged for entering the country illegally…two years ago. Def one to watch. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

“Agents and prosecutors who pursue terrorists, gangs, and drug cartels” fear being fired. This does not make America safe.

They're going to fucking wreck the university with one of the best hospital systems in the goddam world

How much longer til America is great?

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.
