Ernst 2026: We’re All Gonna Die

One of Sen. Ernst's constituents points out that people are going to die if Republicans' cuts to Medicaid go through. Ernst's response? "Well, we all are going to die." Republicans know exactly what they are doing—all so billionaires can get another tax cut.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

“Apple customers will have a blast soldering, polishing, and drilling as they build their very own iPhone,” Tim Cook said in a Keynote presentation at Apple headquarters theonion.com/tariff-...

Please respect the decisions of those who’ve chosen to leave ICE. Many federal employees want no part in this. The Trump administration is deliberately pushing people out forcing them to choose between their jobs and their conscience.

The GOP is trying to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts. If you’ve got a Republican senator, demand that they reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

I don’t usually weigh in for primaries, but this one is really important to me. secure.actblue.com/donate/polit...

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Trump is selling the White House at a rate of roughly $1 billion a month (!) - the biggest scandal in US history, 10X worse than Watergate This needs a name: Cryptogate This needs a complete guide, which I've written This needs us to demand action My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Let's get 1,000 letters out to the Senate right now saying NO cuts to health care or food assistance. None. Send your letters now:

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

"'If they attempt to deport the Afghans, you’re going to see actual physical conflict between U.S. veterans and ICE,' he predicted..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Ya'll are amazing.

Fiona Hill: "The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression."

Huge, horrifying story.

Robert F Kennedy Jr’s flagship health commission report contains citations to studies that do not exist, according to an investigation by the US publication Notus.

Draft-dodger Donald Trump wants an authoritarian-style military parade for his birthday and is pushing an annual ceremony for actual Vietnam War veterans out of DC to make it happen.

If you voted for Trump, yes you DID vote to deport moms. Own it and fix yourself.

Working people didn’t cause this mess and we shouldn’t pay for it. Cutting food, health care, and retirement while billionaires cash in is unacceptable. Call 231-400-0602. Tell them: No cuts that hurt working families.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law. I don’t serve a king.

The Trump administration is set to expand social media vetting of visa applicants. The policy has done little for national security, says @jameeljaffer.bsky.social, but "it is very effective at chilling free speech."

BREAKING: Texas passed a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. We will be suing.

In other words, someone finally read the regs (which require the notice and opportunity to appeal)

The US economy shrank at the start of the year, restrained by weaker consumer spending and even more imports than initially reported.

Trump went from selling water, steaks, and bogus college degrees to selling bibles, shit coins, and now pardons. The fucker is selling pardons out of the White House and it’s barely even a story. What the actual fuck?

Elon Musk is officially out at DOGE, but the mission is still alive. After the sloppy Musk-led approach backfired politically and legally, the Trump Admin is moving to a more methodical gutting of agencies led by Project 2025 architect Russell Vought.

On today's Democratic Daily Download, @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social explains how the GOP Tax Scam will increase electric bills for families and small businesses by ripping away investments in clean energy.

when you are having a rough day some time you can just think of this and smile

The feds are asking judges in migrant cases to dismiss the case, which makes them undocumented — then ICE takes them into custody as part of an expedited removal of undocumented immigrants. @democrats.senate.gov — hold hearings. We demand answers. ☎️ Call your Representatives NOW: (202) 224-3121

WE ARE RELIEVED TO HEAR A U.S. COURT HAS RULED THAT TARIFFS AGAINST OUR ISLAND WERE ILLEGAL AND A SPECTACULAR MISUNDERSTANDING OF GEOGRAPHY, BIOLOGY, AND REALITY. FLIPPERS UP UNTIL WE ARE PERMANENTLY SHOWN DUE RESPECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER -PM Tuxley II

Couple things: 1. Elon is full of shit. Ignore the credulous media. He won't stop wreaking havoc. 2. We're winning, but it will take time. Take to the street, fight back, make your voices heard. Dump your Tesla, sell your stock. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest or create your own at TeslaTakedown.com!

Editors, please assign a deep dive piece on the grave damage musk & doge have done to the United States, rather than how he’s feeling about it.

stop writing that he’s leaving DOGE without mentioning that just a few days ago the solicitor general told the United States Supreme Court that he is not part of DOGE

This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT. Don’t let them spin it any other way.
