We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

Eddie Glaude just called for a nationwide general strike if the Murder Bill passes. Honestly, I concur, but also I think a lot of people have no idea what's in it and no idea what's coming.

Time for my Republican colleagues to reject these draconian cuts to Medicaid and kill the Big Ugly Bill.

‼️‼️

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Don't forget: Stephen Miller makes money off deportation.

When you lie about your credentials, your drinking, and your leaking of classified war plans, why would anyone trust you about the air strikes?

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

This story was under covered by our cowardly media🤨 this is really an assault on America and it's a story that shouldn't go away until something is done about it this is scary stuff 👇🏼💙🇺🇸

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

“It was never going to be a prosecutor, a judge or a politician who could save us,” @glennkirschner.bsky.social told me. “It's up to us to come out in ever increasing numbers, to have our voices heard, to stand up.” www.americaamerica.news/p/we-are-goi...

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

The authority to wage war rests with Congress. This impeachable action is the reckless behavior of a man granted near-total immunity who feels unleashed to do anything.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Slotkin is good here. And Hegseth feels he doesn't have to answer a Democratic woman senator's questions.

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

A right-winger -- a registered Republican, a Trump voter, an evangelical anti-abortion activist -- assassinates a Democratic official. Republicans respond by blaming the left. Democrats respond by blaming ... no one.

100% police instigated.

♥️ Go, @ejeancarroll.bsky.social!

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

And just like that, Trump voters went from ‘no foreign entanglements’ to bloodthirsty warmongers cheering on another war in the Middle East

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

The Republican Party wants you to know it’s important to respect law enforcement.

They better not forget to include the Kennedy Center in the in memoriam. #TonyAwards #Tonys2025

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

As anti-ICE protests spread and police riot on those protesters, one really useful thing people can do from home is to widely share good on-the-ground indie reporting about those events in their networks.

The basic American political reality is that blue states subsidize red states. The Trump variation is to keep collecting ever more taxes from blue states while taking away ever more services from red states. This is a gamble that voters like to suffer, or no longer matter. time.com/7286199/trum...

These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.

McGovern: "What the hell are Republicans so afraid of? What the hell are so scared of that you guys are holding this hearing at 1 in the morning ... if Republicans are so proud of what's in this bill, why are you trying to ram it through in dead of night?"

1/ Tonight at 1am ET/12pm CT/10pm PT, cowardly Republics go into a middle-of-the-night session to take up Trump's "Big, Beautiful" budget (also, ironically called the skinny budget) in hopes no one will pay attention. I'm up, making popcorn, & will let you know if anything interesting happens.

It is bracing to reread the Framers’ bone-deep fears about foreign corruption of the presidency and realize Trump is exactly what they were trying to prevent. slate.com/news-and-pol...
