The death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who was left on the freezing streets of Buffalo by Border Patrol officers, was ruled a homicide. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Please don't give him the ratings to bother watching. They'll be plenty of information shared afterwards.

Strange how every “America First” move somehow ends up helping Moscow. What a coincidence.

Pokrovsk Sector Update: Ukrainian forces have launched a surprise armored reconnaissance operation along the Hryshyne axis, northwest of Pokrovsk. The engagement began late on March 31 under foggy conditions with limited visibility.

Indeed.

A House Democrat is moving to block Trump’s signature from appearing on U.S. paper money and securities and we’re here for it. Rep. Jimmy Gomez introduces the bill tomorrow morning. No sitting president should be allowed to use the nation’s currency as a personal billboard.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is about to sign a voter suppression law. Super lawyer Marc Elias is ready to file a lawsuit to stop it: “Florida will be sued.” 🍿

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

Washington state passed a tax on millionaires. A lot of the usual suspects have been screaming & tearing their hair out & warning of apocalypse. But the actual rich people of Washington? Turns out they are mostly Democrats & they mostly support it!

Do not forget—and do not let the world forget—the children Russia has stolen from Ukraine, the children who lost their lives, and those torn away from their families. Remember them. Remember Ukraine.

Our last post wasn’t an April Fools’ joke. Here is Mike Johnson’s statement caving.

Join me and Lawrence O’Donnell for most of the 10 PM hour (EST) on MS-NOW for our discussion of birthright citizenship — and Trump’s latest demand that U Penn report which of its employees are Jews. So far, no Yellow Stars of David need be worn . . .

Trump asked for plans to seize Iran’s uranium. Plans that would require dropping excavators into Iran to move earth, building a runway, and landing cargo planes (likely under fire) in hostile territory. We could probably do it, but holy shit what a dangerous mission.

A major win for the resistance! Republicans just caved. Senate and House GOP leaders struck a last-minute deal Wednesday to reopen the Department of Homeland Security as early as Thursday reviving the same bipartisan agreement Trump and House Republicans furiously torpedoed just days ago.

Due to widespread layoffs, hiring freezes, and resignations have decimated the ranks of qualified scientists at state labs and the CDC. The agency’s rabies and pox virus teams have been gutted by July, the rabies team will have just one person with

Iran won’t close the Strait Iran better open the Strait Iran has 2 days to open the Strait Iran has a week to open the Strait NATO, open the Strait I’ll bomb your critical infrastructure if Strait isn’t opened I don’t care about the Strait No ceasefire till Strait is open

A federal appeals court paused a lower-court order requiring the Trump administration to reinstate Voice of America staff placed on paid leave after the president moved to shutter the agency. The ruling blocks roughly 1,000 VOA journalists from returning to work in the near term.

Just to recap: Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops. In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

Trump’s EO on voting is unenforceable. Elections are run by states not Trump.

I’ll be honest about what I don’t know—but here’s what we do know: allies are backing away from us, Iran now holds leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices are rising, and global fallout is growing.

PRESIDENT: "We should have a national database of all legal US gun owners." CONSERVATIVES: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THAT IS UNAMERICAN!! YOU CAN'T TRACK AMERICAN CITIZENS!!! IT'S AGAINST OUR LIBERTY!!!!" PRESIDENT: "We will have a national database of all legal US voters." CONSERVATIVES: [yawn]

Let’s say Trump gets away with destroying mail in voting (he won’t, but let’s pretend): MAGA, what pretzel logic are you going to use when you still get blown out in November?

He apparently is going to the Supreme Court tomorrow to watch the birthright citizenship arguments. I assume he thinks by showing up he can intimidate the judges.

This executive order will be knocked down in record speed. Not only is it a poorly thought out order, it’s clearly beyond his constitutional authority

"Trump did not merely degrade himself. He degraded everyone around him. He corrupted an entire political party. Republican officials who admitted in private that he was unstable, unfit, or dangerous stepped back in front of cameras and performed loyalty like circus seals in expensive suits.”

People make fun of Judge Leon's style, but I like his last ¶, about requiring Congress to approve his ballroom: "And the American people will benefit from the branches of Government exercising their constitutionally prescribed roles. Not a bad outcome, that!"

We defeated Trump's last election takeover EO in court & we will defeat this one. We are drafting the papers right now! The Constitution gives authority over elections to the states & Congress Trump does NOT have the power he is claiming. We @democracydefendersfund.org will see him in court

They’re not hiding it. The goal is to flip the midterms before a single vote is cast.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., issued an order blocking construction of Trump’s expansive new White House ballroom on the site of the demolished East Wing.

If Pamela Jo Bondi won't disseminate evidence of Donald Trump's horrible crimes, we can. Below is the declaration of one of his victims. She alleges that when she was 13 years old, Trump repeatedly raped and beat her. Trump also threatened her and her family with death if she told anyone.

Nothing says thank you for your service like demanding to see mom and dad’s papers. The Marine Corps said federal agents will be at access points during graduation days to screen and verify immigration status. Read more: www.newsweek.com/ice-to-check...

Accountability brings consequences. And consequences are the only language corruption understands. Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution. They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

Apparently, Trump stole the Resolute Desk from the White House and took it to his club in Florida. But the historic desk is not his. It belongs to us- the American people and it should always remain in the People’s House.

🚨BREAKING: A huge win in the conservative 8th Circuit! Arkansas requirement of an original "wet signature" on voter registration applications is BLOCKED for violating the Civil Rights Act. Victory for our clients Get Loud Arkansas and Vote.org! www.democracydocket.com/cases/arkans...

The entire Epstein regime needs to be held accountable and brought to justice

Apparently the new thing to do if you’re a right-wing influencer is to just… completely lie about traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. No, it’s not “significantly better” or “wide open” 6 fucking ships have transited the Strait today.

We the people! #USDemocracy

🇺🇸🛳️ Update: The US has lifted sanctions on three Russian container ships: FESCO Moneron, FESCO Magadan, and Sv. Nikolay. FESCO Moneron and FESCO Magadan are associated with Promsvyazbank and were primarily engaged in cargo transportation in the Far East. They were sanctioned on February 24, 2022.
