They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year. Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year. Capitalism kills.

It turns out that the very best No Kings Day protest yesterday was the one staged by the United States Armed Forces in Washington—because if you've seen any of the military experts on social media or cable news today you know that their poor marching was deliberate and intended as an insult to Trump

Disgusting

This happened live on the show today. Independent journalist Jorge Ramos caught up with a pregnant U.S. citizen who told us she was roughed up and arrested by federal agents during a detainment near Los Angeles. Watch!

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit. House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent. They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

Millions will be kicked off their health care. Hospitals will close. Kids will go hungry because they slashed food assistance. This isn’t fear mongering. These will be the very real consequences of their budget. Now it goes to the Senate. There’s still time to fight.

The House budget is a health care cataclysm for America. 15 million Americans will lose their health care. That's the total combined population of: West Virginia Hawaii New Hampshire Wyoming Vermont DC Alaska North Dakota South Dakota Delaware Rhode Island Montana Maine

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

What are we calling only for Cheeto’s impeachment? Where are the state actions to impeach the R’s who are supporting this atrocity of an administration? They are also not defending our constitution.

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, slams Trump for posting an AI image of himself as the Pope: “This is deeply offensive to Catholics, especially during this sacred time that we are still mourning the death of Pope Francis…He owes an apology”

Congress funded LIHEAP, but HHS slashed the staff needed to run it. The program is now on the brink of collapse. Millions risk losing essential energy assistance—not due to lack of funds, but because there’s no one left to deliver them. This is a crisis in motion. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/c...

This thread and the piece at the end are incredible. SCOTUS ruled just before 1am and Chris wrote a thread through the night and published a full, polished analysis at 4:41am. I must note that Chris wrote this on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride — to the hour.

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court. Only Thomas and Alito note their dissent.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen said he met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. Read more: cnn.it/43TU3ML

Social Security Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek is just a hatchet man for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. He is dismantling the very office is he is supposed to lead, make better, and protect. He won’t protect seniors. He will hurt them. He should resign.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

sethabramson.substack.comYes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib BukeleThe White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.

With the SAVE act passing through the house I would like to remind everyone that it took the Taliban only 3 years to ban women from speaking #waronwomen #SAVEact

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

Use the 5 calls app today and call on Congress to block the use of emergency powers that enable these actions. The 5 calls app has an excellent script. And while you’re at it, make sure to thank the Republicans that have broken ranks with their party to do the right thing. This madness has to stop.

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

Certain Democrats literally THREW AWAY the very little leverage that we had to stop Trump. My future’s on the line, so is social security, medicare, and we caved to Trump & Musk’s billionaire welfare. If some Democrats refuse to stand up for working people, it’s time to elect new people who will.
