Every race matters. Even in deep-red districts where a Dem "can't win," running a challenger forces Republicans to spend time...money...& energy defending turf. That’s how you keep their war chest dripping and draining—and shift momentum where it can flip seats. 1/4 🧵

Immigration judges are alarmed by ICE grabbing immigrants at courthouses. By the way, immigrants can request to appear in court via Zoom. All immigration attorneys should request this. Stop allowing immigrants to be grabbed at courthouses #ImmigrationLaw m.youtube.com/watch?v=HWx9...

To this day, I don’t understand why Kamala Harris didn’t demand a recount for the 2024 election, knowing what a liar & cheat Trump is. Even if she had to pay for all the recounts, it should’ve been done. Everyone knows Elon hacked the election in favor of Trump.

Trump’s attempts to dehumanize large segments of the American people in order to use military force against them fits the classic definition of “tyranny,” and right wing rhetoric using the phrase “third world” to justify it is no accident (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

DHS has begun notifying 532,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela that their temporary permission to live and work in the US has been revoked and they should leave. Under the Biden administration’s humanitarian parole program, they were given 2-year permits to live and work in the US.

Trump & my Republican colleagues want to throw 16 million Americans off health care – on top of 85 million who are uninsured or underinsured. Their actions will cause more than 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily each year. Why? So they can give massive tax breaks to the 1%.

There’s a lot going on with Trump and Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s all bad. 16 MILLION losing health care. 4.3 MILLION losing food assistance. And 3 TRILLION added to our national debt. All for billionaires and billionaire corporations to get even richer.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."
