No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

#GVerse LMAO!!! 😂🤣 Holy shit. This is the funniest political ad I’ve ever seen. The Republican House Caucus wants it taken down. You know what to do.

Can’t wait to hear the “free speech” mob stand up for CBS and 60 minutes

The divergence here from two companies with *very* similar customer bases is pretty wild, you do not see this sort of thing happen at scale very often.

Never Forget…..

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

Do you know the difference between “$2 trillion” and “$150 billion”? About $2 trillion.

☘️ Look, it's golf. I get it. ☘️ But Rory McIlroy's Masters victory was one for the truly good guys. He didn't take the Saudi's gruesome blood money to play on an odious tour endorsed by the world's most notorious, orange cheater. ☘️ He stayed loyal and true to who he is, and tonight he's the champ.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

GLORY FOR RORY 🏆 The wait is over. Rory McIlroy has finally won his first Masters — and completed a career grand slam in the process.

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

Shaq can fuck all the way off and then fuck off some more

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Social Security is not charity. People pay into it their entire working lives. Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to rip it away—and I’m fighting back.

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

Kid Rock makes music for dudes who are only allowed to see their kids on weekends, but don’t ! 😂😂😂

Bazinga!

I heart @brooke — telling a suicide bomber who blew up the economy due for no reason that he is brilliant is peak beta chode for Ackman.

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

Every damned word of this 4-graf brief, except “By WSJ Staff,” should scare the bejeesus out of you this morning. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

The bond market shows capital flight from the United States, with people selling off US debt. It’s the opposite of what usually happens during economic turmoil, when people buy US debt because they think it’s the safest asset in the world. The US-led global economic system is dead. By suicide.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.

Japanese and Chinese markets are down 8% and 10% respectively. Black Friday in 1929 was -11%. Tomorrow could easily be the worst crash in American history. The worst thing? It’s 100% intentional.

Must’ve cost big bucks to pay millions of people in 1,100 cities.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Seeing these enormous crowds gathered outside to protest Donald Trump, I am reminded of how Donald had to move his inauguration *inside* the Capitol because he was afraid (rightly) that the crowds outside would be too small.

His mistake was taking the assignment to begin with rather than resigning. The wisest lawyer so far is SDNY's Hagan Scotten who said when resigning: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”
