The GOP's tax cuts for billionaires and corporations ballooned the deficit. So now they're blaming the problem on vital social programs and demanding devastating cuts that will harm millions of people. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours, has threatened Russia with additional sanctions 4 times in 4 months, has done nothing, Russia continues to bomb civilians indiscriminately, Trump refuses to condemn Putin for any of it, and only has harsh words for Zelensky and Biden.

Evergreen reminder of this oldie: If someone says it's raining, and another person says it is dry, it is not the job of a journalist to quote them both. The job is to look out the window and learn which is true.

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.

The Trump administration is escalating efforts to suppress internal dissent and tighten control over information. A new wave of polygraphs is underway, targeting individuals suspected of leaking or resisting from within. Internal guidance has been distributed. Please 🙏 read and follow!

So if you support deporting “illegal” immigrants. You can’t complain about the cost of food going up, how long it takes to get your car wash, finding someone to work your yard or clean your house. Illegal immigrants pay taxes so you’ll also have to pay more for that when they’re gone. Have fun!

Huh. Maybe Alex Thompson or Jake Tapper could take a moment from their media blitz on how Joe Biden is old to report on the current president having no idea what is going on.

If I’m a foreign government right now—the one lesson that I’ve learned at this point is that there is no durable agreement to be made with this administration. Any assurance, policy, or deal will be arbitrarily annulled by a random 3 am post. No point in expending energy negotiating with this.

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner last night said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations. Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets. It's all out in the open.

NEWSFLASH: A 25% tariff on iPhones is still cheaper than making them in the U.S. He’s desperate for deals, folks.

Another big win in court. No, Donald, you can’t play with the lives of foreign students by arbitrarily revoking their visas and, no, you can’t treat universities like pawns in your Gangster State and retaliate against them for defending themselves.

What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law

I stand in solidarity with the nearly 1000 SEIU Meriter Hospital nurses in Madison, WI who are rightfully demanding fair pay, safe staffing ratios & improved safety measures. After over twenty bargaining sessions, Meriter Hospital needs to get serious and reach a contract now.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Fascism sets in EXACTLY like this. Days go by. Nothing improves. The people wait with bated breath for SOMETHING or SOMEONE to help. Court orders, but no enforcement. Time passes. We become desensitized. Life goes on. Rights are chipped away. Life goes on. People die. Life goes on.
