🚨BREAKING: A federal judge just sided with @democracydefendersfund.org and our partners @afscme.bsky.social & AFGE blocking the Trump administration efforts to illegally fire mass numbers of federal employees during the shutdown -TN

Earlier today, DOJ basically told the judge in the Kilmar Abrego case they were going to blow off the vindictive prosecution claim. His attorneys responded, fine, then the criminal case must be dismissed. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Spoke with cnn while sitting on the floor of my hotel room hallway bc my family were asleep in the other room.

So Well Done @schumer.senate.gov !

This is very good.

Portland never stops being Portland.

Called it! Kudos to the Trump appointed judge for correctly finding there's no basis to deploy the National Guard in Oregon

My take on Compact for Collaboration: “Federal funding for universities should never depend on a loyalty oath...The health of our democracy depends on the freedom to work with the federal government without having to follow the ideological dictates of those in power.” www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Young launches into a tirade against ICE; Acting Director Lyons' testimony was "disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable," that "ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence," and that "ICE brings indelible [disgrace] to this admin[] and everyone who works in it."

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Every Democrat should stand up like Pritzker or Newsom. Every goddamned one.

Friendly Mt. Pleasant neighbor greets members of the Big Balls Goon Show loitering this evening, wondering if they knew anything about the ICE sex pests who left their sex toy in the park across the street. #freedc

Listen to Ted Mitchell from @aceducation.bsky.social "this isn’t policy. This is simple extortion and deal-making, which has no place in a democracy." @higherednick.bsky.social @aacu.org @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social @thefireorg.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/u...

ATTN: If you’re a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

The Justice Department has the Epstein files. Right now. Everything they’re doing now is a distraction. Just RELEASE THEM.

This is a mind-blowing admission. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-trump-...

Republicans just blocked an amendment to require the release of the Epstein files. Wonder why.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

Questions about Israel in the mayoral race of New York are a proxy for how they will treat antisemites who harass, vandalize, and assault Jews and our institutions since 10/7. I'd rather they just ask directly "will you condemn people who assault American Jews while shouting free Palestine?"

BREAKING | Antisemitic violence struck at the heart of the nation’s capital when an as-yet unidentified attacker shot and killed two Israeli embassy employees outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. app.sosha.ai/s/D6iB9XID

Those looking to DO SOMETHING today, we have three special elections coming up to fill seats vacated by Trump’s cabinet picks. If we win all three, we will have control of the House - a HUGE deal! Two are in FL (April 1) one in NY (TBD). Will post links.

Great question

If this does to a straight up or down majority vote then democrats will have zero leverage for any compromise. Don’t cave into cloture

Dear Europe, Trump completely melts under pushback. So push back.

If you are lucky enough to live near a movie theater that is showing The Brutalist, rush out and see it today. It's long, but you'll hardly notice.

Its the Gulf of Mexico

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Although the judge cannot make DOJ go forward with the Eric Adams case, they need his permission to dismiss the case. He should conduct a hearing to find out what is going on here.

Read the letter of resignation from SDNY AUSA Hagan Scotten, Bronze Star recipient, former clerk to Chief Justice Roberts. Bravo! 👏👏👏

Roberts clerk.

I want all the fascist collaborators in the federal government snitching on their colleagues to know: we're watching you, and we're keeping lists.

new resignation from SDNY Hagan Scotten -- he's a John Roberts clerk -- Roberts can't be happy at that -- and a 2 times bronze medal winner for duty in Iraq. This is the best of DOJ v the worst of the political system. The lines so clearly drawn

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

If you live anywhere in the state of New York, tell your governor to fire Eric Adams

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

This fucker would get ejected out of a mass grave for ruining the vibe

BREAKING: We are suing Musk & DOGE for violating the constitution They have no right to your personal data & no authority to dismantle entire agencies We’re calling their bluff & taking them to court statedemocracydefenders.org/wp-content/u...

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

This. @AOC is one of the few Dems who are the sort of leaders we all need right now.

Holy shit.

BREAKING: A judge in Baltimore has blocked the Trump administration from conditioning federal aid to doctors/health care facilities on withholding health care services for transgender youth. Order was given from the bench with written ruling to come later.
