Trump asks Supreme Court to overturn judge blocking deportations under Alien Enemies Act A federal judge temporarily blocked the deportation of alleged members of Venezuela's crime gang Tren de Aragua, which Trump wants to overturn.

“People should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.” @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social and @shaneharris.bsky.social share the group chat in which officials planned strikes on Yemen: theatln.tc/UHOLqA9E

Behind almost every leader in the anti-vaccine movement is an alternative medicine grift.

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

We’re past a constitutional crisis.

We’re well into constitutional collapse.

Who’s Running the DOGE Wrecking Machine: The World’s Richest Man or a Little-Known Bureaucrat? Insiders tell ProPublica that Amy Gleason is only in charge on paper, while Musk’s top lieutenants really run DOGE. One person who has been in meetings with Gleason described her as having “little to ...

NEW: Insiders tell ProPublica that Amy Gleason is only in charge on paper, while Musk’s top lieutenants really run DOGE.

One person who has been in meetings with Gleason described her as having “little to no actual decision making” responsibilities.

Thank you for hearing us! Vote NO on cloture too and convince your colleagues to do the same. Democrats in GOP-led states are counting on all of you to hold the line against Trump and Musk.

Thank you for holding the line; hold your colleagues to it too! ALL Dems should vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR. Chuck Schumer should be made to resign for capitulating to a tyrant.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are ALREADY wrecking vital government services. Vote NO on the CR and cloture or RESIGN as minority leader.

Make sure to vote NO on cloture as well. As a liberal in a GOP-controlled state, I rely on Democrats in the White House to make sure my voice is heard.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!
