NO MANDATE. A reminder that less than 1/3 of eligible voters chose Trump in 2024. It also points toward the inherent weakness of our political system when a minority president - aided by the slavery era Electoral College and a subservient GOP - can singlehandedly attempt to destroy the government.

STOP FUNDING EL SALVADOR. President of El Salvador says he won’t return Maryland man illegally sent to brutal prison in his country. Besides $6 million US is paying El Salvador to imprison immigrants, they get massive funding from US.
DEMAND THE RETURN OF ALL IMMIGRANTS.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”

This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.

He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

I joined @maddow.msnbc.com to discuss how Trump/DOGE are impacting Social Security recipients in AZ. I refuse to let an authoritarian administration override the rule of law and destroy critical services. Report Social Security disruptions at www.azag.gov/socialsecurity.

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril.

Keep threatening Americans.

The protests will only get bigger.

Trump is hated.

Musk is hated.

The political winds have shifted.

People are fed up.

This is only the beginning.

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

Gigantic crowd in NYC for the #HandsOff march against Trump, Musk, and MAGA. So many people that the participants can barely move along. Signs decrying Trump and Co. on many fronts: immigration, science, Social Security, reproductive rights, tariffs, autocracy, kleptocracy & the price of eggs.

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.
