I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together. Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Yes, ok, sound bad, but on the other hand Rubio did bring back a triple murderer from Venezuela and release him in the US www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

🚨 BREAKING: new video shows ICE is operating a detention facility on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where people are being held for days or weeks at a time without showers, medication or a change of clothes, sleeping on the floor, and with minimal food and outside contact.

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

NYCers, this is really good and quite smart.

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

Reporter: I'm going to show you what 20,000 people in the streets of downtown Los Angeles looks like

If you want to send the mayor and city council a message to preserve the building, here's a link. p2a.co/v8ipwt4

Mayor Adams is trying to bulldoze the West Village's Tony Dapolito Recreation Center, a *landmarked* building that shut down during Covid and never reopened. I live close by and know how vibrant and necessary this place was—on hot summer days, kids would swim for free under the Keith Haring mural. /

Why is this not front-page news? Where is the outrage and alarm?

Homicide rates: NY 4.5, FL 7.2 Life expectancy: NY 79, FL 76.1 Uninsured rate: NY 4.8, FL 10.7

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

Cuomo's improper coordination with a MAGA-backed super PAC just cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars in matching funds — just a month after his campaign failed to follow basic filling instructions. We don't need another Mayor who thinks the rules don't apply to him.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

A wonderful read.

Thank you @georgetakei.bsky.social for sharing this!

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. I explain in a short video: snyder.substack.com/p/fomenting-...

Imagining what six justices found objectionable about the straightforward statement of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson chills me to my core.

BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds district court order that the Trump administration "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was improperly sent to El Salvador. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

Sure, Kamala Harris would have have preserved our global power and domestic prosperity. But she would have done so as a Black woman. by Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller

me this morning www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

“This highly unusual step of directing armed law enforcement officers to the home of a former Department of Justice employee who has engaged in no misconduct, let alone criminal conduct, simply to deliver a letter, is both unprecedented and completely inappropriate"

75%

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

The indivisible protest in New York is at least 5x larger than they planned. They originally cordoned off the sidewalk+bus lane on 5th but they've had to close the whole street, and it's not enough.

The front of NYC #HandsOff is a mile south of this. A MILE.

Horrific decision that may lead to Trump winning most of the lawsuits seeking to block him from unilaterally terminating contracts and refusing to pay money previously obligated. Basically accepts Trump’s view these are contract disputes, not agency actions.

🚨Judge Xinis orders the Trump administration to bring back Kilmar Abrego, the Maryland father who was deported to El Salvador, the one place it was outright illegal for the United States to deport him to. Now the question of compliance comes up. How will the admin respond? How will Bukele respond?

A group of senators is attending the dignified transfer in Dover today of the four U.S. troops who died during a training exercise in Lithuania. The group includes Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin and Sens. Duckworth and Coons. Donald Trump is golfing.

A relief to hear this said. Trump operates from the same untested, blustering ideas he had in the 80s. They weren’t good then and even less so now. It would be great if BUSINESS LEADERS were prepared to say what they clearly know - that Trump only knows how to run a muscle racket. And here we are.

Holder is as cool as they come. So…

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

In the Trump administration’s latest assertion of power over the press corps, the White House intends to take over the seating assignments in the press briefing room. Here's my full report for CNN: www.cnn.com/2025/03/30/m...
