These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA.

In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days.

Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House.

It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

I said he was going crazy, and he is.

All day he’s been posting deranged nonsense, culminating in this: a call for the arrest of the woman exercising her First Amendment rights by organizing protests against Tesla.

Remember when Musk was still pretending to be an advocate for the First Amendment?

There was a lot of #AcademicFreedom, good scholarship, and independent thought in German universities before Hitler. After Hitler had risen to power, many academics fled the country. Some resisted the Nazi regime and were persecuted. Most adapted to a new situation. Here are some examples. 1/n
