For the very special final episode of “The Apprentice” ever, Donald Trump will take one of those cognitive tests on live television in front of his cabinet. #25ThAmendmentNow

Can Democrats get some better people to go on TV? And can they be people who don’t remind the American public about how they keep losing to Trump?

Is Jeff Sessions still alive? Cuz I would love to get his hot or luke warm take about Stephen Miller standing at this moment. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

None of this is funny, but it is slightly comical to think about how many Democrats and their operatives were duped by Stephen Miller into thinking it was a good thing to get rid of Kristie Noem.

Yes and some of them belong in prisons more close to home

aw come on

[email protected]: "'Mass deportation’" will not be enough to make America white again [...] That is why Trump attended oral argument on Wednesday—the first president to do so—hoping to intimidate the justices into nullifying part of the 14th Amendment." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

For the life of me, I can't understand why Democrats aren't making more of the situation at the airports right now. Can someone explain it to me? Trump now "fully owns the shutdown" (as pundits say) and the country continues to be visibly repulsed by ICE. What gives? www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

In some ways, the "state of play" (as they call it in DC and NYC circles) today exemplifies that so much of what went wrong over the last 20 years among putatively pro-immigrant rights political leadership is still going wrong. Along the same lines, lol... www.axios.com/2026/03/31/r...

Niche subtweet: Is anyone else marveling at the massive amount of email traffic on a congressional discharge petition in comparison to relatively minor amount of email traffic about Supreme Court potentially hacking the 14th Amendment for US cit children because of moral panic about immigration?

Let's keep track of all the voices who celebrated the departure of Noem as if it was a huge achievement and never listen to them again lol.

“We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow 'Birthright' Citizenship!” said the President who is unifying the world against the United States and in favor of the Supreme Court Leader of Iran.

Remember when he used to not talk? At all. Can we go back to that?

If it offends your sense of fairness that children should be punished for the alleged sins of their parents, you should know that this is exactly what Trump actively is setting out to do, quite deliberately. (h/t @adamserwer.bsky.social) newrepublic.com/article/2084...

It's good that Trump showed up at the Supreme Court today. The effect is to stamp his face all over this vile effort to end the constitutional birthright of equality and restore hierarchy by blood. Let him be associated with this project forever. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2084...

Not an April fools joke. And speaking of comedy, funny that this story gets scooped by Washington Examiner too. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/investi...

NDLON statement on Supreme Court argument today: ndlon.org/statement-on...

The ghost of Thaddeus Stevens will be waiting there to cosmically beat his ass in defense of the 14th Amendment.

Again to quote @mikepod.bsky.social: "The New York Times is both indefensible and indispensable." And props to @gregsargent.bsky.social for raising, again, the lazy and insidious way the NYT presents stilted polling data on deportations.

From the @mikepod.bsky.social's lips to the DC consultant class's ears: "Action is the strongest form of persuasion." Excellent podcast w/ @gregsargent.bsky.social where listeners can be fly on the wall interesting very conversation. Highly recommend listening: www.weekendreading.net/p/greg-sarge...

Trump has surged large federal deployments to LA and Chicago, the 2nd and 3rd largest cities in the nation, but, while there have been arrests and operations here, not to its largest and most heavily immigrant, NYC. For @boltsmag.org, I took stock of local leaders' thinking around how to prepare

According to this story by @oliverdarcy.bsky.social, Karoline Leavitt is furious about this photo; and there is at least some evidence she is trying to get it removed from the internet entirely. So I am sharing it online. Others may wish to do the same. www.status.news/p/karoline-l...

What @tusk81.bsky.social #ff said ⬇️ And also remember that we will only win if we fight back to begin with. Narcisco Barranco is an example. A civil rights leader. By necessity, immigrants are defending democracy •for everyone•

Great question. The problem, of course, is that every other journalist in the room didn't keep asking it until they got an answer.

NDLON statement on recent televised Tom Homan appearances along with a few suggested questions for future interviews. The first question ALWAYS ought to be about the missing $50,000 from CAVA.

👀 "Could you imagine having to do conference calls and Zooms with Stephen Miller on an ongoing basis and maintain your health and sanity? I couldn’t." - @cnewman.bsky.social to @gregsargent.bsky.social Why folks maybe getting sick of President Stephen Miller. ↘️

Profound from @cnewman.bsky.social: The No Kings marchers and the heroic people in Minneapolis and elsewhere are telling Dems to act on their behalf. "It's power being given to them by people on the streets." On the pod, Newman is so good on Stephen Miller: newrepublic.com/article/2083...

Wouldn’t it be cool if Trump’s illegal, immoral and unwise war on Iran actually decreased the chance of nuclear war? Oh yeah, and lol re gas and food prices

Attentiveness is what I meant. And attention. I'm grateful for @gregsargent.bsky.social #ff — unique among DC journalists — for consistently, constructively, curiously covering immigrant rights. We don't always agree, but more people, especially immigrant rights advocates, should read his work.

oh this is a really good episode @cnewman.bsky.social from @ndlon.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social talking about the monster Stephen Miller (who just about everyone hates and even some insiders are making that more clear) newrepublic.com/article/2083...

I'm always grateful for @gregsargent.bsky.social's attention to the politics of immigration, and I was particularly grateful for the opportunity to be in dialogue w/ him about the person I consider to be the single most dangerous member of Trump's reality tv cabinet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8Nv...

"Unions [..] statements expressing shock and sadness and support for survivors [..] are little more than the hollow 'thoughts and prayers' politicians send in times of man-made crises." #Mustread essay by @ana-exaflcio.bsky.social #ff on what should come next: newlaborforum.cuny.edu/2026/03/30/c...

Why would anyone take advice on messaging from someone who worked on Biden White House messaging? The people who could not communicate that water was wet.

If I was a Teamster and paid that jackass’s salary out of my wages, I would want to know if he was upgraded too or if he purchased the first class fare.

Teamsters President was on my flight this morning. First class; tbf so was I, not a full flight and I got upgraded. Pilot told him he loved his interview w Bari Weiss.

Andy Kim: "Homan did an excellent job dodging your question about why Trump didn't start paying the TSA agents sooner if he had the authority all along. I know the answer to that, the American people know. It's because he doesn't care about them."

No Kings in Utqiaġvik (Barrow) Alaska!

"We demand to be taken seriously"

Did anyone see any "Body cameras Now" signs that their #NoKings rallies? How about "Workable solutions" or "Balanced Approach"?

When is the last time Democrats have had a legislative victory •of any kind• on immigrant rights?

I can report that I heard the same thing from a guy in a Ford pickup truck who lived half a mile away from the Adelanto immigrant jail in the Mojave desert. At first we was angry to blocked by protestors, but he told me he was more angry about ICE. In Adelanto.

Probably not enough time to get this into evidence in the case challenging Trump's de-documenting of Haitian refugees, but hopefully if enough people retweet this, John Roberts will take judicial notice of this repugnant, unconstitutional racism.

Additionally, if you feel even a slight temptation to praise Chuck Schumer this morning, you may be suffering from Beltway Syndrome (a variant of Stockholm Syndrome). Seek help by physically going to a #NoKings rally this weekend.

It’s tearing a part the maga elite in and out of the trump admin in ways that the White House will never actually admit but that many of them know is occurring bsky.app/profile/greg...

My hot take on DHS budget deal: Anyone asking whether it's a win for Democrats rather than what impact it'll have on the country hasn't been paying attention for the last year. Relatedly, if it's a "win" for anyone, it's for the people in streets who forced Schumer to do anything in the first place.
