The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

Trump: I don’t know when it was signed. I didn’t sign it. Other people handled it.

Free Mahmoud Khalil. It's important to protect speech, even, perhaps especially, when we don't agree what's being said. If we don't support other people's First Amendment rights, then who will protect ours? We have to all be in this together.

A new poll released Monday from Siena College found that more New York City residents approve of congestion pricing than don't, a dramatic turnaround from a previous poll by the same firm back in December.

Since they are definitely going to try to kill Social Security, it is worth mentioning that it is one of the most successful poverty reduction programs of all time.

The mistake people are making is thinking Trump won't come for them so they don't have to be concerned. But if its federal judges this week, can you be that sure? open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived.
His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

Last I checked there was a federal criminal statute on extortion that’s enforced by the United States Department of Jus— … oh wait, never mind
"Spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else."
"A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call ... from a lawyer at X. The message was clear ... Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else." A merger could be tanked.
Gift!

There were thousands of people in front of the treasury tonight ready to break down the doors or sit in and get arrested. You can lead that, join that, or get out of the way. But don’t hold it back.
We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

The Trump administration is mounting a full-on assault against disabled children and it’s not even subtle.
it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

Would love to understand why every Democrat is not out there every second of the day explaining in plain English that Donald Trump has declared war on cancer patients.
From a source inside the National Cancer Institute:
“Everyone is scrambling to figure out how we’re supposed to work to serve the public when we can’t engage at all.”
