Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

A Democratic legislator was assassinated; right-wing influencers coughed out disinformation β€’ Minnesota Reformer Right-wing influencers marred Hortman’s death and smeared Walz on a pile of lies.

There's no bottom for Trump, Musk, Cernovich, or any MAGA influencer referenced below.

They'll lie for profit daily, without concern for the pain they cause or the deaths their words could incite.

Anyone reading these animals simply put _wants_ to be lied to.

The Supreme Court has blocked any new deportations under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

SCOTUS is acting in response to an emergency appeal by lawyers from the ACLU.

The Court has directed the Trump regime not to remove Venezuelan immigrants held in the Bluebonnet Detention…

Ny Times op-ed The Trump Administratiin Cited My Research to Justify Tariffs. They Got It All Wrong.

Economist Brent Neiman explains the idiocy of Trump's tariffs formula.

First, the idea that a trade imbalance deserves tariffs:

"The Nobel laureate Robert Solow explained why when he quipped, β€œI have a chronic deficit with my barber, who doesn’t buy a darned thing from me.” "

Opinion | Why Trump’s Tariff Math Is a Joke (Gift Article) A look inside the administration’s methodology is a real eye-opener.

Trump set it to .25, OVERestimating the tariff target in their already flawed formula by 4.

Americans truly elected STUPID last November.

At least 75% of the men Trump illegally deported to El Salvador have no criminal records. These men have been abducted and sent to a hell-hole Salvadoran β€œprison” that is the the equivalent of a torture-laden concentration camp. DEMAND freedom and justice for these men.

We didn’t win the Florida races, but we saw an average 19 point swing in our favor, which is in line with the other special elections we’ve had since trump took office.

This will have republicans shaking in their boots.

With these margins we can flip 30 seats next year.

The Southwest measles outbreak has led to a surge in hospitalizations, straining hospital capacity across the region.

Hospitalizations are particularly surging among unvaccinated children experiencing severe respiratory complications requiring intensive care.

Trump Administration Abruptly Cuts Billions From State Health Services States have been told that they can no longer use grants that were funding infectious disease management and addiction services.

They're robbing taxpayers of critical public health funding thatΒ provides care and prevents the spread of diseases β€” at a time when the bird flu is a threat.
 
All to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

@gtconway.bsky.social is not backing down. If he has any fear of retribution, he’s not allowing it to shape his decisions or what he says. That’s incredibly important at this critical moment in history.
