Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

just looked up “fuckin vulgar” in @merriam-webster.com and

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.

This is an amazing resource to see what things really cost across the country

1/ Then: Tulsi Gabbard in testimony: “Senator, I’ll reiterate that there was no classified material that was shared." (response to Vice Chair of Senate Intel) Now: DOD Inspector General obtains evidence Hegseth messages on Signal "derived from a classified email labeled SECRET/NOFORN"

It happened this morning. Thanks for checking in though.

"Fox News has mentioned Obama over 3 times more than Epstein since Tulsi Gabbard released her report" Fox News is just pro-Trump propaganda And worst part is everyone that has Fox on their cable box is subsidizing this! www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

🚨BREAKING: In a devastating loss for Trump, a federal court has just invalidated his tariffs, ruling that he lacked the authority to impose them unilaterally without congressional approval. So. Much. Winning.

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

Such a really important thread.👇

Well I would hope so.

Ron and Casey DeSantis were plotting a political dynasty in Florida. Then came a scandal: cnn.it/3YNXJMs

The entire transcript of Time's interview with Trump is insane. Just to pick one moment: Trump says Biden would never do an interview with Time, then when told that he had asks how it went, then when told he can read it himself says that he had read it and it didn't go well time.com/7280114/dona...

"All of these things that sound like cliches are actually really important. If you’re walking down the street and someone grabs you and says 'You’re illegal' and wants to send you to El Salvador, you have the right to a fair trial. That’s the essence of democracy."

ICE has been given quotas for removal. They gotta make their numbers whether it’s legal or not.

A presidential effort to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status could run up against a number of challenges, including violating federal law.

A sixteen-year-old Corgi with mobility issues just got a little wheel cart and look at her go!!!! 🤗

Abrego Garcia, criminal or saint, was denied his due process rights by the gov’t. In this country, people are entitled to those rights, whether criminals or not, whether citizens or not. joycevance.substack.com/p/does-it-ma...

Proud to be one of the organizers of this important demonstration. Join is in DC on June 6th.

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.

This guy's a hero. Good shit, Senator.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

BUSY NIGHT FOR THE COURTS: Late last night, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction barring DOGE’s access to sensitive Social Securitt data, saying the government flouted the law to provide unfettered access to DOGE without a reasonable basis. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

boston globe editorial board: harvard is making the right decision, and universities should band together to fight. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/16/o...

Never forget: Trump was handed an awesome economy. He was handed the best post-Covid economy of ANY industrialized nation. He was handed an economy with employment way up, consumer spending way up, the markets way up, & inflation down. And in only 13 weeks, he’s fucked it all up.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold administration in contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes, demands new details in order for officials to “purge” their contempt. Details TK

There will be more cases like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. More illegal deportations. More mistakes. And they’re laying the groundwork to deport American citizens - permanently - to El Salvador’s prisons. It’s not hypothetical. Republicans must join us & draw the line. Or watch our democracy disappear.

He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.

Bringing the heat

I tried to post this, did not succeed. Kudos to my pal Mark Hamill. Here it is.

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

So you can take over Greenland and Canada but can’t send a plane to pick up someone you are paying another country to hold for a year? Weird take on sovereignty.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

The Senator will be my guest tonight on @allinwithchris.bsky.social

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

There we go.

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.

El Salvador’s president ruled out returning to the United States Kilmar Abrego García, a mistakenly deported Maryland man whose case is at the center of a legal battle over the Trump administration’s mass-deportation campaign. Here’s what to know.

“When Donald Trump says something depraved, we should believe it, … because there is no limit to his moral depravity. … This is a war on due process. He wants … to dictate the fates of individuals, including American citizens, without … court[s].”
