YouTube video by Democracy Forward The Trump Admin's Lawless Action to Invoke the Alien Enemies Act

"Instead of going through that [legal] process, which of course the President would do if he were confident that these individuals shouldn't belong in the country, he has sought to circumvent it with a lawless action to invoke the Alien Enemies Act," said CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social on @msnbc.com

Trump administration flies all remaining Guantánamo migrants back to U.S. The 40 men were transported to Louisiana as the detention operation faces a number of logistical and legal hurdles.

It is another to hand it to him.

I’m headed to the Senate floor now.

To cast an emphatic “no.”

12 years of CFPB data at risk of disappearing, former top official warns Erie Meyer was the CFPB's chief technologist until last week.

The former chief technologist at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau warns that 12 years of critical records could be "irretrievably lost" in the DOGE purge of the agency, per an affidavit filed in federal court Friday.

Today we were denied entry to the EPA as hundreds have been threatened and put on leave. And as Elon Musk & DOGE have hacked their systems.

I have spent my life fighting for our land and water and will not stop.

We will take this fight to the courts, to Congress and the streets!

Americans are struggling to pay bills and put food on the table, but Trump is placing tariffs on Canadian goods and oil. Remind me how this is supposed to help lower costs?

That's why I signed a letter with my colleagues urging him to rescind these ridiculous tariffs.

Can someone remind me who elected Elon Musk to office? Oh, that’s right. NOBODY DID.
 
That’s why @raskin.house.gov and I introduced the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act, which would ensure that Elon and DOGE Special Employees are held accountable for their reckless and illegal actions.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

DOGE Staffer Resigns Over Racist Posts A staffer for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency whose access to U.S. Treasury payment systems was approved by a federal judge on Thursday has links to a deleted social-media account that...

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...
