Fight the Trump Administration's Defiance of the Constitution and Courts β­‘ 5 Calls On April 14th, the Trump administration openly defied a unanimous order from the Supreme Court by refusing to bring back a Venezuelan migrant they …

With the Trump administration’s repeated defiance of laws and judicial rulings, it is clear that we are firmly in a constitutional crisis. Congress must forcefully act now to protect the rule of law and stop the complete decimation of our democracy.

Trump IRS Pick Was Just Enriched By Tax Schemers New documents show Billy Long’s $130,000 personal debt was suddenly paid off by donors at firms policed by the tax agency he’d lead.

Republican senators who gave long floor speeches railing against student debt relief are going to unanimously confirm this guy. www.levernews.com/trump-irs-pi...

It's genuinely hard to express to sort of normal not politically plugged in non-lawyers *how* lawless the Trump administration is, and I think that's some part of the problem.

You sound like you're hyperventilating, but it's just a flat description of what is going on.

Trump is denying due process to foreign nationals here legally before ripping them from their families and deporting them.

Do we really believe this regime will follow any sort of due process for American citizens before Trump tries to deport them?

Call it what it is: fascism.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

So the administration ADMITS it mistakenly arrested and sent a father to El Salvador, but then can’t right the wrong because, well, he’s in El Salvador?

Is this right?

If you’re frustrated, good. If you’re pissed, even better. Now let’s do something about it.

πŸ“ž Call these senators and tell them: stop rolling over for Trump's MAGA nominees.
πŸ“ž Call Schumer and tell him: start whipping your damn caucus.

If you live in a district represented by these people let them know what you think about their vote to censure Rep Al Green who had the courage to publicly call out the lies being said by the President.

This is a pretty big attack on the First Amendment. And an encroachment on universities' powers to decide what protests to allow and who to expel.....

Democrats! Wake the hell up! Boycott Trump’s address to Congress tonight. If you must go, make good trouble.

ACTION TODAY! Call your congressperson and senators and demand they boycott Trump's speech tonight. Being in the audience legitimizes the coup. Time is running out! You can also call your county and state Democratic Party. robertreich.substack.com/p/democrats-...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

President Zelenskyy showed more backbone and self-respect in one Oval Office meeting than the entire GOP has collectively demonstrated over the last 9 years.
He is standing up for his people while Trump mows through ours.

Without healthy oceans, we wouldn’t just be facing hardships, we’d be facing existential collapse. The loss of oxygen, food, climate stability, water cycles, and biodiversity would make the planet uninhabitable for humans within a few generations.

If the oceans die, we die.

This. Is. Extinction.

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science.

Entire NIH departments will have no leaders.

World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators.

Is this what they want?
Chaos? Destruction?
