I want to report some good news from LA:

ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Leon Panetta, one of the most qualified people in Democratic party history to talk about this stuff, is calling for firings. Not just hearings. Firings.

The @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov should be doing the same right now. Leon gave you all the cover you need to do it.
“There was a mistake here. Somebody from The Atlantic got the most sensitive emails you can imagine at the federal level. That is a serious blunder. It has to be investigated. And somebody, frankly, needs to get fired,” Leon Panetta said today about Signalgate.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

Warnock: Mr. Musk had unmitigated audacity to call Social Security a Ponzi scheme. I guess that’s easy for a billionaire who has been living on the government dole to say.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

This has only been possible through NIH funding.

Funding biomedical science through the NIH has been one of the greatest accomplishments of the United States of America for America, and for the world.

We are ALL better for the work that passionate scientists funded by the NIH have been able to do.

I don’t think we should encourage scientific meetings inside the United States for the near future at least.

Everything Musk oversees stays together for a while, but falls apart over time: Cybertrucks, SpaceX rockets, Twitter... It's only a matter of time before we see a rapid unscheduled disassembly of the Trump regime. We just have to keep pulling back the facade until it falls apart, too.
