NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump’s second term isn’t just about bad policies — it’s about permanently breaking America’s democratic institutions. Today, I explain why we can’t simply “resist” Trump and wait things out, but must build a long-term pro-democracy opposition movement. Please watch and share.

President Donald Trump doubled down on his dangerous drive for authoritarian powers this week even as it continues to generate harsh criticism from Americans. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

My thoughts on the authoritarian spiral that we are currently experiencing.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

@jaketapper.bsky.social gonna bash President Biden, Mr Tapper, in his new book. Still thinks his stuff (Tapper that is) doesn’t stink. No wonder I don’t watch his show.

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

Turns out people want their dems to fight for their values and protect due process

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

We have two Supreme Court Justices—Thomas & Alito—who have come out of the closet about their contempt for the Constitution.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Seems pretty clear that doge is a total scam

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Anyone remember this? Anyone? Anyone?

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics. It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology. Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders. And then it all becomes clear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

S&P 500 down 285 points. @cnbc.com ⛳️

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

The optics of Trump demolishing the economy and then peacing out for some R&R at a Saudi-funded golf tournament held at a private club he still owns and profits from aren’t great

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: "If the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will." This is what real leadership looks like.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."

Today is a good day to re-post this little jewel. 💙

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.
