Trump’s scared that he can’t beat Democrats fair and square—so he’s rigging the system.

[Eugene Vindman @YVindman]

It’s been 15 days since signalgate and zero accountability.

@SecDef needs to resign. Congress needs to investigate.

NEWS — Sen. Richard Blumenthal told me tonight that he’s holding all Trump nominees going forward in the Senate.

Blumenthal sits on four committees — Judiciary, Armed Services, Vet Affairs and Homeland — that oversee many nominations.

Dems building a wide-ranging nom blockade in the Senate:

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have frozen funding for federal programs that provide support and sustenance to dozens of millions of older adults and people with disabilities, including Meals on Wheels. https://t.co/SAB9E08rNy

Any comment on this, @marcorubio? How about you, @JDVance? @elonmusk?

You just admitted to accidentally sending an innocent father from Maryland to a torture dungeon in El Salvador. And you refuse to do anything about it.

An open letter published by nearly 2,000 doctors, scientists and researchers claims the Trump administration is waging a ‘wholesale assault on U.S. science’ that threatens the country’s health, economic development, national security and scientific preeminence. https://t.co/iPxbNEP9kn

NEW: In a court filing this evening, the Trump administration said that it had mistakenly deported a Maryland father to a notorious Salvadoran prison due to an "administrative error."

If Republicans don’t care when children are killed by preventable gun violence in schools, they also aren’t going to care when they die of preventable illnesses like measles.

I'm aware of a guy who came to the US on a student visa, dropped out of school and then worked illegally. Then he started tampering with Federal elections and is griftingthe government for profitable contracts. His name is Elon Musk.

Hey NBC + @SethMeyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser + comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

Indiana congresswoman says, “You violated the law, you don’t get due process.” These are the same lawmakers who oppose Red Flag Laws because they don’t provide armed domestic abusers with … due process.

If you reside in America you are covered by the Bill of Rights whether you are a foreigner or not.

The Bill of Rights says “ the people”
Not the “citizens”

That was done on purpose.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

This is truly the most deranged and inept administration in history. Their evilness is only outdone by their incompetence. Let’s get this straight:

- Trump sent JD Vance to Greenland to try to intimidate them.

- Greenlanders humiliated Trump by promising his administration the welcome they deserved and refusing to welcome the Vance’s in their homes.

- Vance was forced to go to a U.S. military installation in the territory instead of the capital, where he waved at nobody as he descended the plane.

- He also refused to take off his cap as he ate with the military, breaking protocol and basic rules of decency.

- Vance whined that he was cold, and quickly fled following bizarre statements to the press.

- Trump, humiliated in front of the entire world, lashes out during an NBC interview and threatens to use the military to annex Greenland.

The Disappeared: Trump’s Mass Deportation Machine and the Shadow Prison in El Salvador

A Knock at the Door, Then Nothing

🧵1/10: Imagine waking up one morning to discover that your brother is gone.

Not missing—disappeared.

No phone call. No charges. No lawyer.

And days later, a message appears—he’s been deported to a country he’s never been to, locked in a concrete hell designed for gang leaders and killers.

That’s not a story from Argentina’s Dirty War or Stalin’s gulags.

It happened in the United States—in 2025.

And it’s still happening, as you read this.

This is the story of The Disappeared—238 Venezuelan men secretly deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador’s most notorious prison, CECOT—a facility condemned by the United Nations, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch for crimes against human dignity.

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government?

That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.

[Laura Miers @LauraMiers]

Heads up! The Social Security commissioner is consulting with the Justice Department about shutting down the agency. “This move would immediately begin halting benefits payments for millions of Americans.” This app appears to be throttling posts with links, so I’ll try words.
