Please watch this. The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill. You need to know this, so you can help stop it.

Great idea!

What are Trump and Republicans going to do while they hold power in DC? Shut down the government and let working Americans’ insurance rates skyrocket.

Would be great to see today statements denouncing the invasion of Portland by: - All Dem govs - All Dems AGs - Senate and House Dems We have to denounce, attack, challenge immediately and defend the American people from this dangerous man.

Jack's biggest donor was sued for using an algorithm to jack up rents on New Jerseyans across the state. And we're really supposed to believe he's going to make this state more affordable? Get real. gothamist.com/news/real-es...

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple. It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Who will be the 218 signatory? This is about trust in our government to serve us. 90% feel we have a rigged system, protecting the powerful, & politicians cannot be trusted. We must prove that the powerful will be held to account. That we can wage this battle across party lines.

Over 4.8 million and counting and many events haven’t even kicked off yet. We’re aiming for over 10 million today to hit the 3.5% rule. The crowds are massive and still growing. We are so proud of all of you. Huge shoutout to Texas you showed up!

At 6:30am, Sen. Cory Booker & Rep. Hakeem Jeffries began a sit-in on the Capitol Steps, standing up for the millions this brutal GOP budget would hurt. They’re inviting everyone to share their story—their own moral moment. Hakeem is up next. My heart is full and breaking at once. This is democracy.

The inside of the nutshell summed up by @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Trump & Maga Mike Johnson want to steal healthcare away from THREE MILLION KIDS of military families who rely on Medicaid. And the bastards are happy about it. Is this what you voted for?

BREAKING -- Republicans just cut funding for the Affordable Care Act (ACA). That's right. $880 BILLION cut from ACA and Medicaid -- to pay for a billionaire tax cut -- raising the cost of healthcare for 119.3 million Americans. Are you one of them?

Donald Trump was recorded in the Oval Office happily bragging about how much money his billionaire buddies made off of his shady tariff scheme. (Insider trading amuses and delights this group.) “He made $2.5 million today, and he made $900 million! That’s not bad,” Trump said, pointing to…

Trump’s tariff chaos is increasing prices for Americans, costing people their jobs, tanking retirement savings, and weakening our economy. Instead of starting a trade war and sticking you with the bill, we should invest in American workers and crack down on big corporations that ship jobs overseas.

The government acknowledges that it ripped our client Mahmoud Khalil from his home and his family solely because of his political beliefs and expression. Ideas aren’t illegal. Mahmoud must be released.

The GOP is starting to feel the pressure. Even in very red states and districts, Republicans are facing more constituent questions on the impacts of the Trump-Musk coup. We need to keep this momentum going. There’s another congressional recess next week — let’s get to work: indivisible.org/muskorus

“But if federal courts cannot order the return of someone exiled to a foreign gulag by mistake, then the administration is free to exile citizens and then claim they did so in error, while leaving them to rot.”

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work! Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

The bill would erect unnecessary barriers to registering to vote in the U.S. especially for women who have changed their surname, trans voters, young voters without a passport, and more.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court lifted a temporary block on President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act. The court also ruled to protect due process, meaning no one can be removed without a chance to challenge their deportation. We’ll keep fighting until this is blocked for good.

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

Where is our humanity?

One of my favorite signs from yesterday. #handsoff

IMPORTANT!!! America please do not think “Oh, I don’t have to show up. ‘They’ll’ do it again. Or, I’ve done my part. I can rest.” We MUST get to 12 Million. And sustain it at ALL protests. It may sound tiring. But it’s our best chance to disrupt an autocracy.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

The year is 2065. Worldwide, young colony members are taking tests. “In 2025, which of the following did the US Trump Administration not tariff?” A. The entire EU B. Peru C. Russia D. Penguins

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Tomorrow’s nationwide events are about saying Hands Off! to President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump. But they’re also about convincing the Schumers of the world to be more like the Bookers of the world and actually stand up and fight for us: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Firing thousands of researchers, doctors, and public health experts who were working to save lives and keep Americans healthy does not make government more efficient; it will make Americans sicker. www.science.org/content/arti...

Trump says his tariffs will raise $6 trillion. Assuming that's over 10 years, that's $600 billion per year. There are 134 million households, so this is nearly $5,000 per household per year. And it's like a sales tax, so it's a flat tax. A huge hit to the budgets of working folks.

“I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.” We do too, Senator Booker, we do too. Thank you for standing up as a reminder that this is not normal.

Sen. @booker.senate.gov : “I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able. Our constituents are asking us to acknowledge that this is a crisis. So I am going to stand here until I no longer can.”

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitors—an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump act like this country belongs to them — grabbing everything they can and daring anyone to stop them. On April 5, we’re taking to the streets nationwide to say loud and clear: Hands Off! Join us: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...

Judge orders participants in Signal chat group blunder to preserve all messages

Do NOT drop this story. Keep hitting it hard. They could have killed our pilots.

In a nutshell: — The Espionage Act contains a provision that criminalizes the disclosure of national secrets through gross negligence. — The law does not require that the info be classified, it refers simply to national defense information. Arrest them. Immediately.

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

Irresponsible, incompetent, and embarrassing, Trump’s national security team — including the Vice President, Secretaries of State and Defense, National Security Advisor, and Director of the CIA — sent highly sensitive military plans in an unclassified group chat, accidentally looping in a reporter.
