D.C. TODAY…

Mitch McConnell is retiring after 40 years of working hard to make Kentucky one of the poorest, most under-educated, and unhealthy states in the US.

🤣

In light of the Milwaukee "ICE ERO Task Force arrest team" at the courthouse in the case leading to the arrest of the judge being made up of 5 people who were not part of ICE and only 1 person actually in ICE, reupping this very relevant portion of my testimony in front of Congress last month.

Protesters hold signs that say defend democracy and protect our constitution in front of the Statue of Thomas Jefferson at the Missouri State Capitol.

Don't count out the "red" states. We're here in Missouri speaking up. People showed up again in the rain, just two weeks after our last rainy protest. Much bigger crowd with inspiring speakers and great energy!

Protest at the Missouri state capitol in Jefferson city. Great energy, great speakers, great signs! #protest #missouri

The United States has three branches of government:

1. The guy who does whatever he wants
2. The people too scared to stop him
3. The courts he openly ignores

Could Trump Invoke the Insurrection Act? What to Know—and How to Prepare

We have received many questions about Trump potentially invoking the Insurrection Act, which gives the president broad power to deploy the military within our country.

Lawmakers, organizers and everyday Americans should be ready to respond quickly and effectively if Trump takes this dangerous step.

Opinion | Trump’s Gulag Archipelago He is seeking to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop his administration from imprisoning anyone it wants, anywhere in the world.

President Trump is using the Abrego Garcia case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop him from imprisoning anyone he wants anywhere else in the world never to be seen or heard from again. His dream is to preside over a police state. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

Titanic! Or both.

Jefferson City Missouri

Jeff City folks in the house!

What Cory Booker Said (if it is to be it is up to me)

Sanity should not be a partisan issue (neither should reality)

No sign is big enough to list all of the reasons I’m here

If not fascism why fascism shaped? and Eggs are too expensive eat the rich

A few favorite signs #HandsOff #DTLA

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?"

This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there.

He has some thoughts.

We're protesting in Missouri. We're not as red as you might think. We're just gerrymandered.

Tech Fascists: We shall weaken the nation, destroy the economy, replace the dollar with crypto, replace people with AI, and create new Network State cities everywhere.

Normie Journalists: Folks, this is total chaos and incompetence with no structure or plan.

Murphy: "Democrats should stay focused on the central storyline. This week, Republicans are gonna be voting on a procedural step to try to cut Medicaid by $880b... it is not a coincidence that Trump is floating this idea of running for a 3rd term during a weak when an outright theft is happening."

We’re almost at 250,000 people signed up to attend 1,000 events in all 50 states. Please join us in the streets on Saturday: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Text poster with two sections. On the left, "HANDS OFF!" with a list including Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. On the right, "WE MUST STOP TRUMP'S ILLEGAL, BILLIONAIRE POWER GRAB. SATURDAY APRIL 5." The background is textured like aged paper, and the text appears as if stenciled in black ink.

We’re building the largest one-day mobilization in years.

Nothing stops authoritarians in their tracks like organized people power — and we’re organizing it in communities throughout the country.

All this work depends on people taking real life action. Join us on April 5: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...

A friend of my compared gutting of federal agencies to a wrecking a car: if you remove 30% of the parts of the car, it does not go 30% slower. It stops working.

Beautiful bluebird saga! Leaving a bird from a few years ago, quizzical rose-breasted grosbeak.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Do You Hear the People Sing? It's the song of our time

Right now we’re bombarded with messages about what’s going wrong, whose leadership is lacking, what messages are missing, and who is not rising to this moment.

But there’s something emerging, too. There’s something rising.

Friend, do you hear the people sing? 💙

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.
