A message from NASA astronaut Christina Koch who has now arrived safely back to Earth: "To everyone who has been following my journey, I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support — it truly means everything. Being part of the Artemis II mission is a personal milestone...

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Trump's insane post will overshadow the heroic rescue of the downed pilot. US troops moved mountains to save a man, and Trump blows them off the timeline with his deranged screaming. Gold standard rake stepping.

ICE Is Criminalizing Clothing To Keep Families Apart

The case is sumbitted. The easy prediction here is 7-2, birthright citizenship stands, Trump loses. But... I don't think we have Kav as much as others. So that could be 6-3. BUT... my most radical take would be 8-1. With only Alito dissenting. That's... *a possibility*

All right, live whatevering of Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case. Arguing for the bad guys is US Solitictor General John (voice is an immutable characteristic so let's show some respect) Sauer. For the plaintiffs it's ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang.

KBJ: So ... you'd be bringing pregnant women in for depositions" (asking how the EO denying birthright citizenship would work)

What in the actual fuck!

When Trump wakes up from his nap at the Birthright Citizenship (as the young-in’s say) he is going to crash out!

What's making me happy right now is thinking of Trump sitting/sleeping there, with ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how hard he's losing.

I think "Yeah yeah yeah but what about the Constitution" needs to be the title of ACB's next book. :)

Justice Jackson is up on Birthright Citizenship hearing. Anyone know if Trump is asleep yet?

Trump going to the Supreme Court, only to fall asleep during Oral Arguments is on point!

MERKLEY: So when the VP said 'ICE agents have absolute immunity' in violating people's civil rights, he was effectively correct? BIER: Effectively, yes. Right now as the law stands.

Conservation and historical organizations sued the Trump administration on Tuesday over National Park Service policies that the groups say erase history and science from America's national parks. n.pr/3Oir8w9

It's true! I'm delighted to announce my latest project (with @simonandschuster.bsky.social), "The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader." In bookstores in May, but preorder yours now (maybe get one for your favorite federal official? It makes a great gift!).

Lo más hermoso y emocionante del show de Bad Bunny fue que mencionó a todos los países de América. No se saltó ninguno, ni siquiera aquellos donde no se habla español. 🇨🇱 🇦🇷 🇺🇾 🇵🇾 🇧🇴 🇧🇷 🇵🇪 🇪🇨 🇵🇦 🇨🇴 🇻🇪 🇸🇻 🇬🇹 🇭🇳 🇲🇽 🇨🇺 🇩🇴 🇵🇷 🇳🇮 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇾 🇸🇷 🇧🇿 🇭🇹

Ocasio gang rise up 🙌🏽🇵🇷

Odd way to answer that question. If there are any Epstein victims who have non-disclosure agreements with Trump, I think it's time they go to court to see if they can break those agreements as being in the public interest. A fund should be set up to help any victims with the costs of such a suit.

Brooklyn Center, Minnesota: An ICE agent is seen slipping onto his back and then accompanying a female detainee into a porta-potty, while another agent waits in a car outside.

Stephen Colbert: "The message from the Trump administration is clear, only they determine the truth, and when their forces come to your city - Obey or die, and if you die, you clearly didn't obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country."

Watching The Pitt to get my mind off our gruesome reality.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

Two amazing women. One of them is my senator. 💕💕💕

I'm going to be on the @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social show at 10:40. Which will save me from listening to the rest of this argument at SCOTUS where the Republicans are eager to kill mentally disabled people who at least once scored an IQ above 70.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott fought for months to keep secret emails between his office and Elon Musk. Now, hundreds of pages have been released.

“Approximately 170 firefighters rushed to the scene.” Sounds like there weren’t any serious injuries but Santiago’s Garden is gone.

Hay que pena 😢. Santiago’s es un lugar encantador.

at the very least, it was the beginning of 25 years of “because I said so” jurisprudence that has completely trashed SCOTUS’ aura of nonpartisanship, which will not be recovered in my lifetime

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now. 100% serious here.

OMG! Now I’m dead 🤣

“A top-ranking Colorado Immigration and Customs Enforcement supervisor testified Friday that the man and two children stopped and detained in Durango earlier this week were initially mistaken for someone ICE was targeting — but were grabbed and detained by the agency anyway.”

ICE is the enemy within, not the undocumented, not “liberals” not the lgbtq+ community, not POC, Muslims, Jews, or any of you… it’s 🧊

Hundreds of families still separated after 7 years could lose hope again. The new Trump admin’s move to end the Family Reunification Task Force threatens their reunification & may violate Ms. L v. ICE. https://bit.ly/4oBeiG9
