these guys are just out of control animals

Dick Durbin... you caved... retire now!

Thought... finally DEMs taking action and fighting for us... WTF ... caved

Our nations students shouldn’t have to have the fear of being shot at school, or anywhere. I’m praying for the families and wounded, I’m acting so it never happens again. FSU, I’m so sorry our government has failed you.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

Today, a 20-year-old shot and killed two people and wounded six others at Florida State University. Meanwhile, gun extremists in the Florida Legislature are pushing to lower the age to buy firearms to 18. No, really.

The attack on Josh Shapiro and his family did not happen in a vacuum. Incendiary rhetoric, purposeful disinformation — it all helped lead to this hateful and destructive act. Leaders need to be conscious of their words having consequences.

Mike: if you want a puff piece written about you, it’s better to find someone who isn’t on your payroll like this guy. Rather than gaslighting your constituents with phony op-eds, listen to them when they tell you not to cut their benefits, as you voted to do last week

Precisely. This admission brings people together—not over politics, but over our shared humanity. If you’re scared, you know what’s happening. If you admit it, you’re taking sides. And empowering people in the process.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Grateful to my friend and MD colleague @ChrisVanHollen for traveling to El Salvador to try to check on Abrego Garcia’s condition. We will not let up the pressure on the self-proclaimed dictator of El Salvador or the aspiring dictator here. We will continue the fight to bring Abrego Garcia home.

😜We’re coming Donnie!

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Our own @stuartpstevens.bsky.social has a message for Democrats: stop treating this like politics as usual. Our Democracy is being eroded, so wake up and fight before it’s too late. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/to-democra...

My latest at Substack: Trump is putting his grubby little fingerprints on everything from Harvard (and all of academia) to the arts, history, public health, Social Security, the rule of law, and our private data via doge. It’s working out exactly how you’d expect… open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

Unions Form Pro Bono Legal Network for Federal Workers Targeted by Trump ... BRAVO... told ya unions were crucial to democracy fight. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/b...

⁨My statement on Elise Stefanik's gubernatorial rumors⁩

"It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison *without due process* is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him."

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Where are you attending Peaceful Protest on April 19th. I'll be attending at Davis Park, Rockford IL. "Rage and frenzy will pull down more in half an hour than prudence, deliberation, and foresight can build up in a hundred years" - Edmund Burke

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Thank you for your leadership and recognizing the urgency of this dangerous moment for our democracy and the rule of law, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov. Are your elected officials doing everything in their power to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home? Make sure they hear from you today.

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.

My message to the barrister castratos who have cut deals with Trump: "Exit take: Fuck you, and all your contumacious works, you cowardly brood of white-shoed lickspittles. But I repeat myself. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

David Hogg … absolute truth!

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?

Thank you Harvard !

Whatever she decides to do, I’m ready! @kamalaharris.com #ForThePeople

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy. Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities. All with an average donation of $21. THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️

KELLY (AZ) WARNOCK (GA) SHAHEEN (NH) HASSAN (NH) CORTEZ MASTO (NV) ROSEN (NV) PETERS (MI) It’s important for these Democratic senators to hear from their constituents right now. Email your senators and tell them to protect our elections by rejecting the GOP’s voter suppression bill.

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

real news reporters...and fox entertainment (if you like that sort thing) need to schedule repub/dem/progr/ind/ reps to real debates and see who shows up to put their names/faces/Views out there for all to hear directly from their own mouths what policies they support.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

"If we buy coffee from Costa Rica and they buy nothing from us (which isn’t true, but just as an illustration), in no sense has Costa Rica taken advantage of America. We gave them dollars and they gave us coffee in return. That is called commerce."

"We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights." FINALLY. Thank you, @harvard.edu, for FINALLY taking a stand.

I vote for the first 'home grown' convicted felon 'the BAD trump family SEED' hatched from his mother's immigrant womb' to be DEPORTED to the worst of the worst prison in the world...and his traitor gop/supporters/enablers on the same plane from an airport without enough air traffic controllers.

This is insane. The ramblings of a madman.

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans
