I almost fell out of my chair when I read the second sentence of MTG’s tweet. George Floyd’s murder is on video! Gotta quote 1984 yet again: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Unconscionable: this is at least the second time that ICE has taken an adult and left children in their care alone in public. The behavior of ICE is a child welfare concern beyond even the larger separation of families issue.

it will take generations for the US to rebuild its credibility to the extent anyone overseas will ever help us again. A complete betrayal of any Afghans who assisted US forces there for no good reason whatsoever.

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as Air Force One Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database. That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

Donald "No Responsibility" Trump is trying to blame Biden and Pete Buttigieg for current air traffic control problems. Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Republicans in Congress REFUSED Buttigieg’s call for funding more air traffic controllers. And Trump/DOGE then stepped in and fired many.

Busting up big corporations. Tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Even if you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d still need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.
