This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

JD Vance: “We have let in too many immigrants.” President Reagan: “Being a beacon of the world for immigrants is one of the most important sources of America’s greatness.” (TLDW: The GOP has lurched to the extreme right)

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Lutnick on being invited over to his then-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein's house: He invites us in and there's a massage table in the middle of the room. I say, "Massage table in the middle of your house? How often you have a massage? And he says, "Every day...and the right kind of massage."

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

This is absolutely brutal

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

It's time for veterans to unite and pushback against the attacks on our healthcare, benefits, and community. The Unite for Veterans march in DC on D-Day this year will bring together the full range of the veterans community to demand our rights as veterans of earlier generations did too!

We know that these voters did everything that they were told to do. And a court cannot, consistent with the federal constitution, come in and change laws after the election to disenfranchise voters.

This Hegseth thing is funny and all — but the unprecedented incompetence, frivolity, and treachery of the entire cabinet puts us all at very real risk.

Russia will be capable of attacking NATO territory in 2029, –Inspector General of the German Bundeswehr Breuer "We see that Russia is now significantly increasing its armament,including about 1,500 battle tanks per yr.These are either tanks that are taken from warehouses&repaired,or new production

The Trump administration’s worldview in a nutshell: If you’re white, you’re all right. If you’re brown, get out of town.

Today is Day 9. 0 deals.

Kilmar Garcia was mistakenly deported. The WH mistakenly sent a demand letter to Harvard. A US citizen was mistakenly arrested and held by ICE in Florida. ... these aren't mistakes. They're tests.

CEO of The Federalist is opening calling on Trump to defy the Supreme Court.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

These billboards line the streets around Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Apr 20, 2025: 5 days of Russian Federation Armed Forces losses (as reported by General Staff of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine) compared to the invasion average: Yellow is below average; Green is above average; the number is the ratio of the day’s losses over average. @anthrclfrnn.bsky.social

"Abrego Garcia’s case isn’t about his alleged gang membership. It’s about the rule of law, and whether it will hold." By @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social and @rgoodlaw.bsky.social #AbregoGarcia #DueProcess

We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t stop fighting.

THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION! The budget the GOP is hashing up is economic warfare on working families. Slash Medicaid? Gut safety nets? Run up the debt to hand $4.5 trillion to billionaires. Everyday families are left to scramble while the rich pop champagne.

🤣🤣

A staggering 70% of Congressional Republicans would personally benefit financially from the party's own tax plan. How will the tax cuts being pushed (that predominantly benefit the wealthy) be paid for? Drastic cuts to programs that help millions of people. Reverse Robinhood.

I just met with the Vice President of El Salvador as we fight for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I’m speaking to the press now with the latest on our efforts. Tune in here:

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

The divergence here from two companies with *very* similar customer bases is pretty wild, you do not see this sort of thing happen at scale very often.

We haven’t reached bottom yet. Because there is no bottom to his moral depravity.

The start of Curtis Yarvin's "democracy is dead" and he wants authoritarianism in america. Musk and Theil believe Curtis Yarvin and both speak to trump everyday!. themoralalgorithm.com/behind-the-c... Project 2025 is the blue print www.project2025.observer www.aclu.org/project-2025...

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

Instead of cutting Medicaid, why don't we close corporate loopholes. Tax loopholes, write-offs and other ways of lowering income that allows corporations to avoid taxes! That costs the government billions! Hands off our Medicaid! #MomSky

Federal Medicaid spending stimulates economic activity and job growth in every state. A 15 percent cut in federal Medicaid spending would mean more than a $41 billion loss for state budgets! Hands off our Medicaid! #MomSky

This is a little embarrassing

The traders really wanted to trade directionally... In fact, using Unusual Whales' net premium, you can see people have been loading calls trading for a reversal, following these opening calls. Very clear example here. Insane, someone knew.

You can see all volume was literally opened TODAY!!!!!!!!!! (That little green arrow). You can see all volume is new opening volume (not only on the Zero days but also on the weekly $QQQ and $TQQQ calls). This is especially odd given IVR on these was around 82 this morning, with IV through the roof

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand. You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.
