Waking up to the horrifying news of the shooting of a young couple at an event for Jewish professionals at the Capital Jewish Museum, an act of antisemitic terror. Holding the victims and their families in my heart as well as all Jews who are feeling vulnerable and frightened.

There starts the ending of free speech. Everyone is afraid now & we have to depend on each individual to get the facts out in public anyway we can.

This comes after reports revealed that Bondi sold millions of dollars in Trump Media stock right before a major market downturn, shortly before Trump’s tariff announcement.

What the Republicans doing while the media chase Trump's bullshit, let's see. The Big Beautiful Bill will increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion and cuts to Medicare will be roughly $490 billion according to the CBO. In addition they are going to the Supreme Court to keep secret what Musk is doing.

TRUMP'S BIG BEAUTIFUD BILL THE GAMBLER Playin' for keeps with +DU absolutely nothing to lose.

FOTUS lied to those who worship him. The House GOP kissed his ring instead of working for their constituents. It’s up to the Senate.

It’s never been more urgent than now to call your senators & remind them that they work for us, not him.

Headline reads “Trump goes after websites that raise money for his enemies,” with a subheadline about ActBlue raising nearly $400 million since Trump took office. Link to the Verge article in the thread .

⚠️ First, Trump targets sites like ActBlue that help fund his opponents.

⚠️ Next, it’ll be the voters themselves.

And we better take that seriously.

This is how we do it folks!

Hegseth had an unsecured internet line set up in his office to connect to Signal, AP sources say Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer.

Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer, AP reports

Hegseth used Signal app connected to 'dirty line' on personal computer in Pentagon office: Sources It was connected to the internet on an unsecured commercial line, sources said.

Hegseth is grossly incompetent. This isn’t new. But at what point do we wonder whether he’s intentionally opening our military secrets up to outside actors? You don’t accidentally install a new computer and separate internet line in the Pentagon.

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.”

So too do we all agree with the per curiam's command that the Fifth Amendment requires the Government to af-ford plaintiffs "notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act,... within reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs." Ante, at 3. That means, of course, that the Gov-ernment cannot usher any detainees, including plaintiffs, onto planes in a shroud of secrecy, as it did on March 15, 2025. Nor can the Government "immediately resume" re-moving individuals without notice upon vacatur of the TRO, as it promised the D. C. Circuit it would do. See 2025 WL 914682, 13 (Millett, J., concurring) (referencing oral argu-ment before that court). To the extent the Government re-moves even one individual without affording him notice and meaningful opportunity to file and pursue habeas relief, it does so in direct contravention of an edict by the United States Supreme Court.

IMPORTANT: Sotomayor, in the dissent, emphasizes that all 9 justices believe that the Trump administration cannot do what it wants to do: shove people onto a plane with NO due process.

They openly told the DC Circuit they were going to do that if they won. On that issue, they lost.

The Proud Boys and Militias Come to Tesla’s Defense After weeks of “Tesla Takedown” protests, the Proud Boys and other far-right extremist groups are showing up to back Elon Musk's beleaguered car company.

Guess who showed up to defend Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler.

More on the "Tesla Takedown" protests here:

Not content with spending more than a quarter of a billion dollars to elect Trump in 2024, Elon Musk is now trying to flip the balance of power on the top court in one of the country’s most important swing states.
