Trump FIRED Dr. Carla Hayden—the first Black woman Librarian of Congress—by EMAIL. The role is supposed to be apolitical…but y’all know he’ll turn ANYTHING into a political attack.

The Trump regime fires Librarian of Congress. Her crime? She’s a professional. She doesn’t like banning books. She’s African American. And she’s a woman. apnews.com/article/dona...

Why Abrego Garcia? Why now? Here’s why. Trump’s deportation numbers are actually less than Biden’s, even with all this noise. The high profile cruelty and defiance of court orders is a distraction tactic to cover up his low deportation numbers. With Trump it’s always a sleight of hand Ponzi scheme.

For @us.theguardian.com, I interviewed librarians about the impact of Trump’s administration, including the Institute of Museum and Library Services being gutted, experiences at work, & the incredible importance of library resources, programming, and support: “We get everyone at the library.”

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

It’s so obvious that Greg Abbott and the Repubs are terrified of calling the special election to fill my district’s vacancy in Congress. Cute. They should be afraid! They know what’s coming. I’m going to DC to be a brick wall to this pathetic “President’s” anti-America agenda! So get ready, Greg!

When we look back on the first two months of this administration, one of many things that will be glaring is how many Dem senators voted to confirm Trump's cabinet picks out of some absurd effort to pander to notions of bipartisanship despite the obvious risks. Let's review, shall we? (thread)

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Last night, Republicans voted to gut Medicaid. That is not a joke. Democrats need to spread that message everywhere and absolutely clobber Republicans on that from now until midterms.
