The man suspected of assassinating a Democratic state lawmaker in Minnesota and wounding another was taken into custody late Sunday, ending a two-day manhunt that put the state on edge. Here’s what we know about the suspect.

“Your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution and we are going to wash it off.”

NIH top career people, take this attitude too. You do not need to implement illegal orders just because they are in an EO.

Stand up, NIH! If you don’t Trump will fire you eventually anyway.

Since taking office, Donald Trump has declared eight national emergencies to justify his radical agenda. But there is on America's REAL National Emergency

Trump is declaring fake emergencies against immigrants and protesters while gutting our capacity to respond to actual emergencies like natural disasters and pandemics.

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death.

Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

Close up on Trump's orange face screwed up in rage with his mouth wide open as he yells. Captioned "REPORT ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIAS HERE!" with a small picture of the US constitution on fire underneath the words.

🔥ATTENTION! 🔥
Help save our nation. The State Department is requesting you report examples of anti-christian bias from the past 4 years to EO14202Questions@state.gov April 18.

They want: names, dates, location where the incident occurred, summary of the incident. See below for examples.

In recent weeks, the number of people travelling from Europe to the U.S has plummeted — by as much as 35%. The sharp decline in tourism is a direct response to Trump’s punishing policies — including tariffs and the horrific treatment of immigrants and foreigners.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

House Strikes Down $5 Overdraft Fee Limit, Sending Issue to Trump Lawmakers also struck down a rule giving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau supervisory power over tech companies’ payments apps.

So much for making lives affordable.

GOP Reps. just voted to overturn a cap on high overdraft bank fees, punishing hardworking Americans. I voted NO to protect American families from being ripped off.

O’Malley fires up ‘Hands Off!’ protesters: ‘Never gonna give up in this fight for Social Security!’ Hundreds of thousands of people attended more than 1,000 “Hands Off!”-related protests nationwide focused on President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.

“I don’t like what’s happening. It’s very frightening. I’m afraid they’re going to take away my Social Security and my ability to do my job as a librarian. I don’t like this at all. It scares me to death," said one protester.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

The CDC Has Been Gutted Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

On Tuesday, thousands of federal employees at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning were notified that they were subject to a reduction in force, sources tell WIRED.

She marched against Trump in 2017. Now, she says, ‘just let it all burn.’ Democrats are struggling to match the massive “resistance” movement that sprang up in Trump’s first term — and battling cynicism among their own voters.

Layoff announcements surged to their third-highest level on record in March, driven largely by Elon Musk (DOGE). U.S. employers announced over 275,000 job cuts last month—a figure not seen since the height of the pandemic.

Trump’s Science Policies Pose Long-Term Risk, Economists Warn (Gift Article) Since World War II, U.S. research funding has led to discoveries that fueled economic gains. Now cutbacks are seen as putting that legacy in jeopardy.

Tariffs get all the attention, but ask economists what they're really worried about and many will point to the Trump administration's cuts to federal support for the sciences, including canceling grants and revoking student visas.

"no modern administration has insisted on this standard before, & the idea that foreigners who are here on valid visas should live under fear that their every political opinion might become grounds for sudden incarceration in Louisiana or El Salvador is inhumane and close to un-American in spirit."

At his rally in Wisconsin, South African billionaire Elon Musk says he will put an end to the Federal Reserve Bank and the US Dollar so that he, Peter Thiel and David Sacks (the South African broligarchs) can introduce a new cryptocurrency based financial system.

NEW: The measles outbreak in Texas has reached 400 cases. Of those, 398 involved individuals who were either unvaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status. One 6-year-old child has died, and 41 others have been hospitalized.

Hard to argue with.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Chicano Marine (@elchicanomarine ), with Mexican and U.S. flag emojis. The post reads: "Ahh… WE have hit the disappearing Union leaders phase of authoritarianism." Below this, there is an image with the text: "ICE detains farmworker union leader Lelo Juarez Zeferino." The image shows a person in a denim shirt against a background split between blue and yellow colors.

Our immigration policies should not be wielded as union busting, political cudgels. Or as ways to suppress freedom of speech or assembly.
