Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

I've always said that Americans who eat at McDonald's while traveling overseas are the tackiest, least interesting people on the planet. Oh, look! I wasn't wrong.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

It might be easier for some in the press to get it right if the Founding Fathers had used "Bribe" instead of "Emolument."

The problem isn't young people online, the problem is adults online. The problem is the 65-year old nanna who's been mainlining right wing conspiracy content for six years. The problem is algorithms designed without human consideration, purely along the lines of advertising and cold numbers.

It's true! Bondi was a registered lobbyist for foreign clients, including the government of Qatar - which is now giving Trump a jet. tinyurl.com/mr36frb8 Bondi is the first AG to have been a lobbyist for foreign governments. (She also disbanded the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force.)

Abolish ICE. I am having nightmares about these incidents and waking up absolutely frozen in fear... and I'm not the one living them. This is terror, this is fascism. We must end this nightmare.

Casar: "I've knocked on 1000s of doors and not a single time has someone said, 'Thank God you're here. I want to ask about trans people fencing'..what the hell are we doing? We are here bc MTG thinks if she picks on trans folks, she can avoid having a discussion about allegations of insider trading"

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.

Donald Trump’s Pentagon nominees can mumble and backtrack all they want, but their own tweets don’t lie. Our military’s loyalty is to the Constitution, not to any politician.

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

Trump promised to drain the swamp. Instead, he filled it with oil execs, NRA lobbyists, and insurance CEOs. They get tax breaks. We get higher costs, health care we can’t afford, and more gun violence.

Having spent time listening and watching the BBC, the obsequiousness of US journalists will never cease to amaze me. “Yes sir, with all due respect sir, let’s agree to disagree sir”. Here’s a tip: the response to “you’re not being very nice” is “are you the president or a toddler?”

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

If Trump can ignore the Supreme Court about him having to return people he had kidnapped, we can ignore the Supreme Court about him having immunity from criminal charges.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.
