So the Trump admin suddenly yanked visas from thousands of international students—then backtracked only after getting dragged into court.
Let’s be clear: they didn’t do the right thing. They got caught doing the wrong thing.

Trump’s order to investigate ActBlue — & Dem candidates/committees that raise through ActBlue — is nothing short of an authoritarian crackdown on opposition.
He’s wants to make it impossible for Dems to raise $ to compete against the Regime.
This takes our constitutional crisis to the next level.

The staff of a program that helps millions of poor families keep the electricity on, in part so babies don’t die from extreme heat or cold, have all been fired.
The office overseeing the enforcement of child support payments nationally has been hollowed out.

reporting on this has really got to get better about communicating the magnitude of the breach here. if you read the nyt article with minimal context, you would have no sense that this was watergate-level impeachable misconduct
President Trump has personally ordered the Justice Department to open an investigation of Democrats' primary ways for raising donations.
It is the third time he has personally ordered an open-ended criminal investigation, each against a perceived political foe.

Deporting American citizens—even those with criminal records—to foreign prisons is unconstitutional and violates core due process protections. The White House has stated it will decide who qualifies for deportation. Will protesting eventually be deemed a crime—and a deportable offense?

Everyone should be able to choose their own healthcare provider.
But today, right-wing extremists want to deny Medicaid recipients that fundamental right and continue their assault on healthcare.
The Supreme Court must stand with the people and protect patients' rights.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.
She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.
This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.
