Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.
Here’s my response:
"Mamdani becomes New York City’s first Muslim mayor, the first South Asian mayor and the youngest mayor in more than a century."

The Blue Wave Has Begun 💙
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
Alternate headline: Johnson Lied.
I truly am straight outta fucks.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, "Putin does not want to stop the killing but he must do it"
I truly hate this guy.

America has fallen.
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."

“Maybe clips of a president’s son defending habeas corpus and mentioning a crack dealer named Bicycles is what the attention economy demands,” writes @helenlewis.bsky.social, suggesting Democrats should find a candidate like Hunter Biden, but without the baggage.
We have some good news in these dark times!
Narcisso Barranco, the father of three U.S. Marines, has been released from an ICE detention center in Adelanto, California.
I hope to see more releases and more families reunited.
Small steps lead to great victories.🔥
Please pass it on.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K.
This is inexcusable. She should resign.
LA: “Your children will one day grow up and know their fathers or mothers were kidnappers against our own people.”
WATCH: “Pathetic. A political stunt.”
Mayor Bass reacts to the Trump regime saying arresting her is on the table as they terrorize LA and inflict “worse than COVID” economic damage.
(Republicans: you can drop the “states rights” “small government” act forever now)
It’s disturbing that Justice Jackson was left to dissent alone from this legally reckless, constitutionally wrongheaded, and procedurally indefensible use of the Court’s emergency powers. History will vindicate her courageous if lonely stand against this outrage.

CBP SECTOR CHIEF GREG BOVINO TO LA RESIDENTS: “We don’t work for Karen Bass… better get used to us now, this is going to be normal very soon.”🤔
If it quacks like Martial Law…
How long til Cali folks move to stop funding this with their tax dollars?
“A farmworker labor strike is coming”
Had the absolute privilege of joining Justice By Design this week to talk SCOTUS, Skrmetti, and sorry-you-can’t-actually-legislate-trans-people-out-of-existence. Thank you to the brilliant @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social for thinking I’m cool enough to hang out with her. youtu.be/edZ7-XTsJzs?...
There's a livestream running all day where advocates, artists, & elected officials are sending messages of hope to LGBTQI+ kids. I'm honored to be doing a piece at 3:30ET, but rn Judy & Dennis Shepard are giving me life w/this gem: "They are louder, but they aren't brighter." tinyurl.com/mubcd5sf
The ACLU was made for crises like this. For over 100 years, we have fought to protect and expand civil rights and civil liberties for all.
We did not let up then, and we are not letting up now.
