They must protect Social Security. Call your Senators and Congressperson 202-224-3121: www.newsweek.com/social-secur...

Two DC judges--Howell and Leon-- very unimpressed with Administration's arguments about proposed executive orders against law firms. Howell takes them to task. Leon indicates he will enjoin the hour in a few hours. What is the Admin's overall record at this point? They're getting clobbered.

Stay loud stay visible stay brave

I love that he thinks there are "paid protesters" as if people don't genuinely believe his support for the Orange Atrocity, chainsaw-wielding buffoonery, DOGE cuts wrecking the economy & crappy cars aren't things they hate for free.

NEW: In a news release published Monday, the City of Hyattsville Police Department said: “At no time did any member of the HPD identify or file any reports classifying Abrego Garcia as a member of any gang,” HPD’s statement read. This contradicts DHS' claim. www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-n...

This is where we are headed.

I wonder who Trump is referring to?😂 PS: I left Perkins Coie in 2021. PPS: Perkins Coie is suing Trump, not the other way around. PPS: Perkins will win.

tesla can die. hopefully

Absolutely brutal.

I hate to tell you this, but this is normal behavior by Border Patrol. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

They are ready to kill us all

“The wife of a wrongly deported Salvadoran father living in Maryland was moved to a safe house after Donald Trump’s administration posted a court document that included her address on social media.” #KilmarAbregoGarcia www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I applaud him for coming to this conclusion at the right time and knowing when it is time to pass the torch. I wish others would do the same.

He tried to reform immigration laws to have more equity and for that alone I am grateful

JUST IN: The MeidasTouch Podcast Tops Charts for Third Straight Month with 107.3 Million Downloads—More Than Joe Rogan, Candace Owens, and Ben Shapiro COMBINED, per Podscribe Data

Bill Owens, executive producer of “60 Minutes”, resigns: “I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes’, right for the audience.” We’re falling into fascism. — Deeper and deeper.

Oh hell yes! @chuck.hubbardforcongress.com is holding town halls — time to unseat Virginia Foxx !! Pass it on 👇🏼 🥳

THIS is what we mean by showing up. Reps Carter, Thompson, Pressley and Sen Markey, went to a detention center where Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk are being held w/out due process. They didn’t just stand up for their own constituents—they stood together for all because there’s power in numbers.

Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

In case you hadn't noticed:

BREAKING: Hegseth downloaded Signal on his desktop at the Pentagon to circumvent the lack of cell service in a classified space. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Pete Hegseth just ordered the installation of a makeup studio at the Pentagon for him to prepare for his television appearances, which will cost thousands of taxpayer dollars to build.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth: Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone. Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

BREAKING: MeidasTouch @meidastouch.com Podcast THREE-PEATS at #1, Trouncing Right-Wing Hosts

Last Friday, Trump's EPA shut down a Biden-era website mapping locations of dangerous chemical plants.  The chemical industry, which gave over $1M to Trump's inauguration, heavily lobbied the Trump administration to scrap the website. See how this works?

A New York judge has ordered city officials to temporarily halt a plan allowing federal immigration agents to operate within the Rikers Island jail complex ahead of a hearing later this week.

I’m not Catholic, but I hope the next Pope is as wise and compassionate as Pope Francis.

MEDIA: Kindly stop comparing Democrats who want their leaders to fight for working people to the Tea Party. Democrats want their leaders to do more than just respond—they want them to fight. Here’s what that means: 🧵

It is with deep sadness that we received news of the death of Pope Francis. Our condolences to all Catholic farm worker families in our community. Pope Francis was outspoken in his compassion for workers, immigrants and other marginalized people.

Something is off here. There has been no confirmation the Secret Service was by her table when a man who sure sounds like a professional thief—or spy—took valuable, national security-implicating items from her. And there is no statement about who she was with. And she is rumored to be in an affair.

Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

Does Kristi Noem carry $3,000 in cash in her Louis Vuitton because she can't get a credit card or because she doesn't want a credit card recording of where she spends money?

👇🏽🎯

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

He did it. He crashed the entire economy. In exactly 90 days.

Beyond parody headline in the NYT. Can't decide whether they're deliberately trolling us at this point, or whether they need to fire all their headline writers.

Frost: I'm one of many. I'm not the first member of congress here and I'm not going to be the last. This is not about Maxwell Frost. This is about preventing our country from losing what makes it exceptional.

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates

It’s not funny
