Democrats in Congress: Investigate and expose why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities. There is no acceptable scenario where this should be permitted. @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

THESE are the tattoos we should be worried about… Valknut: historically Norse, used by some white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.

“The Trump administration is trying to intimidate members of Congress,” Mr. Nadler said. “They’re behaving like fascists.” That’s because they *are* fascists. Who else handcuffs someone from a congressman’s office because they witnessed ICE taking away people outside an immigrant courtroom?

❌👑 WE'RE UNITED AGAINST KINGS. Trump, who's aiming for a 3rd term, is planning a self-aggrandizing military parade in DC. Together we'll mobilize in huge numbers to reject this corruption & abuse of power—it’s in our DNA as a country. Join us in Chicago, Daley Plaza, 12pm, Sat June 14. INFO/RSVP ⤵️

The agent who handcuffed a congressional aide is William Krejci of Keasbey, New Jersey, DHS Area Commander. His social media is locked down pretty tight but a Yelp account tied to the same email address he used for LinkedIn shows a face and forearm tattoo that matches the video.

ICE are terrorists, pass it on

Are we "great" yet? From the article: Saroukos (the wife of an officer in the US Army) said she’s sharing her experience to warn people of the increased risks of traveling to the U.S. “It’s made it physically impossible for me to even ever enter the United States ever again,” she said.

This Is Honestly The Truth..

Tesla's Fremont, CA factory has been in violation of the Clean Air Act basically nonstop since 2019. Tesla has been doing illegal stealth recalls for years. Autopilot has killed tens of people due to known design issues. Tesla and Musk should be toxic regardless of his role in national politics.

Investigators believe the man may have been framed to get him arrested & deported before he could testify in a case where he was a victim of assault. The person who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity, because they couldn't speak publicly. apnews.com/article/ice-...

The brand destruction that will come to the university that lends its reputation to this will be massive. Stephen Miller University from that moment on.

This is 🏆 “The problem with speaking up for each other is that everyone is left without a voice.” What I heard here: the struggles of the oppressed are only taken seriously or heard through the voices of their oppressors.

“It’s true that narcissism is associated with more impulsive, error-prone decision-making. But … [w]hether consciously or not, narcissists hold power by keeping others in a state of psychological whiplash.“ www.huffpost.com/entry/psycho...

To the many people taking exception to my lumping Stewart with the rest, I’m sorry, but I composed this skeet while listening to him & Bill Simmons try to describe present political economy.

🚨 If the Senate bill passes a bill that includes these blatantly unconstitutional provisions, there will be no going back. The American Experiment will be over.

A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Walmart is laying off workers — while raising prices, hitting record profits, and making the Walton family even richer. Classic corporate greed.

A video circulating on Reddit shows ICE officers wrestling a Hispanic construction worker to the ground while he repeatedly says that he is a US citizen. He was reportedly detained for hours until he was eventually released.

FLASHBACK: The “Trump Trust Accounts” for babies were a Hillary idea — and Republicans trashed it.

Can’t wait to see which of John Roberts’ prime directives wins: “Republicans can do what they want”, or “only so long as they acknowledge that I’m the real boss”. My guess: the second one.

Good cover @economist.com

Approved by Congress in 2022, the plaque honoring law enforcement personnel for defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, can’t be installed until House Republican leadership gives the go-ahead.

He speaks to a higher focus group

Whether it’s supporting his sister Lux and costar Bella Ramsey, educating costars on the importance of not mocking the use of pronouns, or being open about his desire to do more as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, Pedro Pascal is an #AltCitizen in so many ways.

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.

PLEASE read this. Then CALL YOUR REPS. This is so bad, so dangerous.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

If you ever want to see a Trump supporter go insane, just casually mention he's never won an election against a man.

Don't miss the scariest committee hearing of the year.

“I will not yield to disrespectful men.” - Rep. @aoc.bsky.social

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

I will be introducing legislation to take Trump’s tariff power away. If the Republicans don’t vote for it, we’ll have them on record. We will use that record to campaign against them in swing seats across the country. After we force them out of enough seats, they’ll be begging us to vote for it!
