After a moving, record-breaking speech by Hakeem Jeffries, it is beyond disturbing to watch the despicable Speaker Johnson tell lies to applauding Republican sycophants, all of whom seem eager to build a fascist regime based on white Christian nationalism and backed by billionaires.

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark.
I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

The attack on Josh Shapiro and his family did not happen in a vacuum.
Incendiary rhetoric, purposeful disinformation — it all helped lead to this hateful and destructive act. Leaders need to be conscious of their words having consequences.

If Harvard is a political entity, then every Church needs to have their tax exempt status revoked.

The President refuses to comply with the Supreme Court ruling.
He does not care about the rule of law.
Senator Chris Van Hollen flew to El Salvador.
He's doing everything he can to get Kilmar released.
And that right there, is a demonstrable difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Students attending DoD schools across the world just walked out of class in a brave protest against the Trump Administration's Orwellian censorship regime. Instead of removing books from the shelves about America’s history and constitutional values, Secretary Hegseth should try reading them.

His mistake was taking the assignment to begin with rather than resigning.
The wisest lawyer so far is SDNY's Hagan Scotten who said when resigning: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

The message is: crowd large.
Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

One of the most important things is that the people getting out in the streets are making space for their reps to be bolder. And it's a positive feedback loop. Lots of signs quoting Cory Booker today
