Alright one final thread of the night: an absolutely deafening noise demo is taking place out in Pasadena outside two hotels where ICE agents are purportedly staying. You can hear the din from blocks away, it’s absolutely magnificent

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Jasmine Crockett: "That's why they hired everybody from Fox because all they're trying to do is put on a show. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody."

Watch out, y’all. We may be the closest thing the CDC has to a Comms team right now. 🙀

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago
Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Today’s CDC report shows rising autism diagnosis rates due to better screening & recognition — especially in marginalized groups. This directly contradicts HHS Secretary RFK Jr.’s harmful claims of an “epidemic.” Autism isn’t a crisis—disparities in access are. autisticadvocacy.org/2025/04/asan...

Hey, I think Chuck said the president of "that country" is not subject to our supreme court. If correct, Grassley is still misrepresenting the situation, as the supreme court decision was intended for the president of THIS country & trump is subject to the laws of this country.

It’s encouraging to see a roomful of white retirees giving Grassley hell over this. We need more of this in every red district and every red Senator town hall (those who aren’t too chickenshit to hold them).
Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?"

Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’”

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy.

Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities.

All with an average donation of $21.

THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️
News: AOC had her strongest ever quarter, raising over $9.5m from 266k individual donors for an average of just $21.

AOC doesn’t take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first time contributors.

The Shame of Columbia: violating academic freedom

“Not even during the communist witch hunts of the early 1950s did a university agree to put an entire academic department under special oversight because of what its faculty researched or taught.”

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
