You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism. It's a lie.

A sitting Member of Congress calling for an American citizen to be stripped of his citizenship & deported, all because of that American citizen’s political views. This is fascism.👇

Trump: "People from mental institutions and insane asylums. You know what that is? Insane asylum, that's a mental institution on steroids. During the campaign I'd talk about the late great Hannibal Lecter."

Still struggling with the idea that the President authorized a country, with which we were engaged in armed conflict, to attack a US base with US soldiers in harm's way ("gunners") and it isn't a bigger story. This goes beyond even impeachment and removal from office.

1. The president used a bad word on live television yesterday morning. The Washington press corps seems to have taken that as a sign of paternal rebuke, as if Israel and Iran were children who’d gotten into trouble and Donald Trump the father who’d taken off his belt.

ICE forces U.S. Army Purple Heart veteran to deport—after taking 2 bullets in combat. Sae Joon Park "miraculously" survived being shot in spine—then given 3 weeks to deport to South Korea. Will miss dying mother's funeral—then his daughter's wedding. Was legally in U.S. under deferred action.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

A U.S. citizen on their way to work abducted by ICE then locked in a basement, with federal government employees refusing to consider indisputable proof of citizenship. Congress endorses it. SCOTUS keeps thwarting judges from even slowing it. What more is there to say? We live under fascism now.

“ok and what do you expect dems to do” well first of all I’d like a statement directed towards law enforcement agencies reminding them that dems will be in power one day, there will be investigations and “just following orders” isnt a legal defense

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they knew was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

A 58-year-old man in Virginia may spend the rest of his life behind bars for following and shooting two Latino men because he was "pissed" about "illegal immigration," and immigrants receiving welfare. So much hate. Where does it come from? lawandcrime.com/crime/man-ob...

I want you to imagine the outcry there would be if any other country did this to US citizens. Such countries would be classified, appropriately, as authoritarian enemies of free speech and dissent.

It gets harder by the day not to characterize this administration as distinctly “north korean” when the White House senior staff is about fifteen inches away from declaring Trump invented the moon and the stars, and currently argue things like that he invented in Geico Gecco

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.
