Any politician that accepts a contribution from Elon Musk must be voted out.

So to review: 1. He never should have been deported. The admin admitted that. 2. The admin said he was an MS-13 member and also they couldn’t get him back. They lied. 3. They are now charging him with a crime that they did not mention until literally now.

#OnAssigment: Normandy American Cemetery sits on a bluff above Omaha Beach, where Allied troops landed on June 6, 1944. 🎦: Michael Abrams / Stars and Stripes

The GOP broke the law to deport this man—then decided to indict him. Court order? Ignored. Due process? Tossed. Now they want credit for “law and order”? Chile, please. Y’all did the process completely backwards. This is Trump’s America: lawless, reckless, and cruel.

On D-Day (June 6, 1944), the Allied forces suffered 4,414 confirmed deaths. Of this number, 2,501 were Americans. The total number of Allied casualties on D-Day, including killed, wounded, and missing, is estimated to be over 10,300. Remember their courage and sacrifice. 💙

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

The ACLU makes a very IMPORTANT POINT in this article about PRIVACY VIOLATIONS. 🚩 ERRORS made and DISSEMINATED in this enormous fascist PALANTIR government database will occur, and will be difficult to FIX. #SayNoToPalantir 👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 www.aclu.org/news/nationa...

NEW: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, Thomas Fugate is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating violent extremism.

Are you ready for DC, Vet Fam? Here are the schedules. We'll see you there! 🫡 @americanopposition.org @unite4vets.bsky.social @sonsofliberty.bsky.social @commondefense.bsky.social @50501activists.bsky.social @cliffcashcomedy.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social #50501vets #unite4veterans #d-day

On June 6, 1944, thousands of Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy to confront fascism abroad. On June 6, 2025, veterans and civilians will rise once again—this time to confront the alarming rise of fascism here at home. #DDay #June6 #VeteranProtest #DefendtheConstitution

What is bankrupting America is Republican tax cuts for billionaires.

Not a lawyer but I assume it's less than optimal for the government's case to be labeled by a judge as kafkaesque

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

Constitutional law expert: Many attacks on the judiciary don’t appear to be animated by a desire for good-faith debates… they seem instead of a piece of other efforts to neutralize any actor or institution that would “seek to limit this President’s power.”

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Donald Trump will do anything to become the richest man in the world, even if it means hurting those who voted for him. He’s obsessed with money, and he is using the White House to enrich himself.

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

Hate is on the rise—and it’s showing up in ways that should alarm every single one of us. We’re seeing violent attacks targeting people for who they are, what they believe, or how they choose to live. That’s unacceptable. (1/2)

Congress is already underfunding tribal colleges to the tune of $250 million a year. Trump’s latest proposal would cut 90% of what is currently funded - effectively closing most of the nation’s tribal colleges and universities. #RadioFreeAmerica www.propublica.org/article/trib...

The U.S. government is breaking up families without an ounce of compassion. ICE is detaining migrants at court—asking judges to dismiss cases so they can arrest people as they leave & shove them into fast-track deportation. Word’s out: Show up, risk deportation. Stay home, lose your case.

BREAKING: Linda McMahon just embarrassed the entire Department of Education. She told Congress we ranked “very low” in reading and math in 1979. Senator Markwayne Mullin had to stop her and say: “We were number one.” You can’t fix education when you don’t even know its history.

Now’s our chance to let them know how we feel (right to their faces!) Go to regulations.gov Search ED-2025-OS-0020 Click “Comment” and make your voice heard!

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

So Republicans’ goal is to end public health funding, kick millions off their health insurance, stop funding cancer & disease research, not develop vaccines, not allow us to have vaccines that have already been developed, keep doctors from coming to the U.S., keep U.S. students from becoming doctors

More pieces of the puzzle and how bad this will be long term. We have to be UNITED together! @meidastouch.com @altnps.bsky.social

1. A transgender man was detained in South Carolina for using the restroom that Republicans want him to use. Officers allegedly hurled slurs at him for doing so. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-man-...

US government spending since Jan. 21 “is up 8.7% over the equivalent period in 2024 .. “.. 7.2% over 2023.” 🇺🇸 @jesskarl.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/news...

Congresswoman @repjasmine.bsky.social tells me why she is pitching herself to be the ranking Dem on the House Oversight Committee. It’s all about the moment we are in as a nation. Watch:

On Saturday, June 14th, at 2:30 pm. PURELY coincidental. Purely. That's a Bob Pope Troll. 🤣

Please take a moment to read and share Call your Congressional representatives 202 224-3121 Ask them Why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities? This must be addressed No DUE PROCESS No EXPLANATION @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

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

“We’ve always had a problem with corruption in this country but this unethical, dishonest, greedy, pseudo Christian bullshit is not normal.” This is NOT normal. Trump hosting billionaires is NOT normal. Republicans ARE complicit. And so is the media for not pushing back. Keep speaking on it 👏👏

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

Today, we honor the service members who gave their lives for this country. We’ll be posting less so our team, and all of you, can take time to reflect, remember, and spend the day with loved ones. We’ll only post if truly needed.

Resolution Copper is blocking comments and hiding replies from anyone calling out what they’re doing at Oak Flat. They’re trying to mine on sacred Native American land, with the government’s help, and don’t want the public to push back.

A judge ruled that DOGE can now access sensitive Treasury Department systems, allowing its Musk staffers to interact with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which manages trillions in federal payments and holds private information on millions of Americans.

Really? Congress votes on bills without even reading them? Our coalition read and broke it down. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) admitted he voted for Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill without realizing it weakened federal judges’ power to hold officials in contempt.

We have to get all resistance groups on the same page. We need coordinated actions that strategically escalate into a massive general strike. This means collaboration between unions, grassroots organizations & groups, non-profits, who are ready to rebuild a country for the people, by the people.🧵

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

41% of babies’ births are covered by Medicaid. 49% of children are covered by Medicaid or CHIP. 62% of long-term care residents in nursing homes are covered by Medicaid. 35% of people with disabilities are covered by Medicaid. HANDS OFF MEDICAID.

This response from a White House advisor to a request for comment about Trump’s ethics violations captures the matter perfectly: “Write your ridiculous story. Literally no one cares…We don’t actually give a fuck.”

Proud Boys just marched through downtown Kansas City like the fascist cowards they are—faces covered, shame on full display. This isn’t free speech. It’s a jackbooted warning. Don’t look away. Don’t stay silent. We must rise up. It’s time for a general strike. VC punk_irl on Reddit.

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to keep DOGE records secret ‼️❌🔥❌‼️ The DC Circuit Court ruled unanimously—with judges appointed by both Democrats and Republicans—that DOGE must submit to discovery

Reminder: Kristi Noem doesn’t seem to know what habeas corpus is. Why the hell doesn't anyone know how to do their job in this administration?

🚨Time to take action, this Budget bill. CANNOT PASS the Senate. Tax Breaks for tanning beds & loss of Medicaid, they’re insane! Let your Senators & SCHUMER know, voting anything but No will result in a Primary loss when up for reelection! 👇 #MomSky
