🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.”

WOW. Planes in air must turn around.

A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

In a deranged post, Trump sent markets into another death spiral after declaring a national emergency over Canada's tariffs on electricity, imposing more tariffs, and calling the U.S.-Canada border an "artificial line" in a push for annexation.

This is my father receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross which he was awarded 4 times. He fought in WWII, Korea and Viêt Nam. Trump, Vance and every Republican defending what happened in the Oval Office today have made a mockery of my father’s lifelong career and everything he stood for.

Democratic leaders:

I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working.

Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Evangelicals, you sanctimonious pricks,
Preaching life, you're just fucking sick,
MAGA, you motherfuckers, with your twisted creed,
You'd rather see women dead than concede,
You voted for laws that strip rights away,
You're not pro-life, you're just pro-fucking decay.

Gay Valimont and Josh Weil must win the special election in Florida. If we can make that happen we have a chance of stopping Tr¥mp and M¥sk. Please donate time or money whatever you can. The election is April 1. I know many are skeptical that we can win but we can’t if we don’t try.

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.
