Republican Senator Thom Tillis just said he’s not comfortable voting for Trump’s nominee for US Attorney Ed Martin after it was revealed he went on a white nationalist podcast.

We reconstructed how President Trump and President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador struck a deal that led to the deportation of over 200 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran prison. Here's a timeline starting the day deportation planes took off, even as a federal judge tried to halt them. nyti.ms/4cTzdPT

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine.

This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs.

We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

Behind Trump’s Deal to Deport Venezuelans to El Salvador’s Most Feared Prison New details deepen questions about the deportations, showing that El Salvador’s president pressed for assurances that the migrants were really members of the Tren de Aragua gang.

The New York Times pieced together the most complete account yet of the U.S. arrangement with El Salvador and the March 15 deportations from internal government documents, court filings and interviews with 22 people familiar with the operation or legal challenges.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

💥 BREAKING: Goldman Sachs shareholders voted today to reject two anti-DEI proposals, both by 98-2 percent. GS Board urged shareholders to vote to reject proposals. "We believe that diversity, including diversity of thought, experience and perspectives, is important to our commercial success."

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.

He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.

Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.

So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

We appreciate that Senator Booker is putting in all of this work to get attention where it belongs: The Trump-Musk coup. We don’t want to see Democrats behaving like this dangerous administration is business as usual — we hope more of your colleagues will follow your lead here.

Trump Administration Has Begun a War on Science, Researchers Say Nearly 2,000 scientists urged that Congress restore funding to federal agencies decimated by recent cuts.

Some 1,900 leading researchers accused the Trump administration in an open letter on Monday of conducting a “wholesale assault on U.S. science” that could set back research by decades and that threatens the health and safety of Americans.

I was elected in 2010 with Kristie Noem. She used to be kind, compassionate, and put her faith above any personal gain.

She like so many others, is now broken

In other words, all of these emerged in the work of a single researcher in the early 20th Century:

- Retrospective cohort design

- Awareness of confounding

- Use of the t-test

- Case-control methods

“Whether it’s discussing a bombing run in a Signal group or playing musical office suites in a vain attempt to avoid FOIA, the Trump administration has unequivocally demonstrated that they are pathologically allergic to accountability and transparency,” said McClanahan.

Mike Waltz Left His Venmo Friends List Public A WIRED review shows national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

SCOOP: A WIRED review of public data shows that national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Social Security official ended program for Maine newborns because he was ‘ticked’ at Mills U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said the rationale given by Lee Dudek, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, is 'infuriating and absurd.'

This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Raskin: "It'll be child's play to go back and find all the Republicans who were demanding congressional investigations and that Hillary Clinton apologize and leave the campaign and so on."

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Funny. Not so funny.

It is a complete endrun around national security channels to use an insecure device and app to discuss highly classified, imminent military plans.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) a crime for people entrusted with national defense info to disclose it to others out of gross negligence.

Hey guys remember the Hillary Clinton email server?

Seems kinda, small today, doesn’t it?

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.

They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.

Why? Because they don't want it to work.

President Musk keeps lying about our movement — Republicans are mad because we’re building the local power that’s exposing the MAGA agenda. We rely on grassroots donations to support our nationwide organizing to hold the GOP accountable. Please pitch in if you can: secure.actblue.com/donate/indiv...

Social Security recipients live on an average of $58 a day—an amount Lutnick likely couldn’t survive on for a single day.
