Van Hollen introduces motion urging reversal of Naval Academy book removal U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen urged the Naval Academy Board of Visitors to replace the books removed from its library amid a Trump administration crackdown on DEI in education.

I salute the 600 Naval Academy grads who released a letter condemning Trump's book bans at the Academy.
 
At this week's Board meeting, I moved to reverse the ban & made clear I won’t give up the fight. Are we really afraid to have midshipmen read Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”?

NJ congressman votes with GOP on immigrant bill | NJ Spotlight News Other New Jersey Democrats worry the measure strips accused offenders of due process and could sweep up children accused of misdemeanors.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight.

Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like.

We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Trump fires Librarian of Congress and Baltimorean Carla Hayden President Donald Trump fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden on Thursday, according to statements from House Democrats.

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.
 
Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

This is the complete schedule for tomorrow in the United States House of Representatives.

At least they're not taking up bills to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and to build mass detention camps... so there's that.

Still, this is so embarrassing.

The Wisconsin Govs office issued guidance to state employees on what to do if the federal government raids state offices. Essentially telling state employees to contact their agencies legal counsel if they do.

For this the 47 regime is now threatening to arrest Gov Evers.

On March 25, Rümeysa Öztürk was surrounded by plain clothes agents, removed from a street in Somerset, MA, arrested, and taken to a Louisiana detention facility where she has been held by ICE. The fact she cowrote an anti-Israel op-ed remains the only public justification for her arrest. #WPFD2025

Rümeysa Öztürk was supposed to be transferred to Vermont from Louisiana today, but the government delayed her return. She remains thousands of miles from her home, sitting in ICE detention for speaking out on her beliefs.

Along with her entire legal team, our fight for her freedom continues.

Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax' Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

Here's more proof that the right-wing fantasy of “wealth flight” is not a real thing 👇

Disappearing people.
Ignoring court orders.
And now, arresting judges.

This what dictators do to undermine the rule of law and consolidate their own power.

It’s un-American, no matter what political party you support.
