No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

It’s Wednesday and the Trump regime is lying to the nation about immigrants being criminals, about LA being on fire, and about protestors being insurrectionists. How to counter this and set the narrative straight, in today’s write-up. Link: buff.ly/oO9QqOa

Buttigieg: I’m not even an elected official or running for anything— I’m here. I can’t help but notice a lot of people who are elected officials aren’t. There’s a reason for that. They don’t want to have to explain this stuff

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech:

“How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

My heartfelt condolences to all catholics of the passing of Pope Francis, especially to President Biden who has a deep faith and love for him.
Pope Francis was the first Jesuit Pope.
That means he had a commitment to social justice, education, & missionary work 🙏
With Pope Francis, Biden Shared Grief, Trump Harbored Grievances
With his upcoming funeral, Pope Francis will one last time force the world to take a look at two U.S. Presidents who represent vastly different approaches to the job.

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.

Not able to see or speak to Kilmar, Senator Van Hollen only spoke with the Vice-President of El Salvador
Trying to arrange phone call through the United States Embassy...
Thank you Senator, keep trying. This is so wrong and cruel, not allowing a phone call at this time. #MomSky
I just met with the Vice President of El Salvador as we fight for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I’m speaking to the press now with the latest on our efforts.

Tune in here:
Senator Chris Van Hollen is live!

Trump’s Pentagon is erasing Navajo Code Talkers—Indigenous warriors who helped win WWII—from military websites. This isn’t about “efficiency.” It’s about whitewashing history and erasing those who don’t fit his MAGA narrative.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
