#TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

I look forward to the day when no one EVER writes a headline that has "So-and-so absolutely DESTROYS so-and-so . . . " or "Such and so totally MELTS down . . ." Please. Such tired, overworked and unfulfilled phrases.

Mientras que el desfile militar del presidente Trump se lleve a cabo este 14 de junio, habrán personas en todo el país protestando en contra de los ataques a nuestros derechos por parte de esta administración.

While President Trump's military parade takes place on June 14, people across the country are mobilizing to protest the administration's attacks on our rights. Before you hit the streets, join us for our Know Your Rights training on Tuesday, June 10 at 7pm ET (4pm PT). RSVP at aclu.org/kyrtraining.

Abolish ICE.

Do read her post. Spot on.

Oh hey.

Friends, as we gear up for a summer of protesting this cruel administration, it’s important not to give them any excuse to respond with violence. Please consider these tips for ensuring safe, peaceful protests. They want a police state. We’ll model peaceful calm opposition. Stay safe out there.🕊️

Massive ICE raids in Texas don’t make national news. (Search ICE Houston, ICE Dallas, etc.) Where are these people?? Congressional Democrats must act. Hold hearings, sanctioned or not. We demand answers! Call your Senators and Representatives NOW: (202) 224-3121 1/2 www.ice.gov/news/release...

Abolish ICE. We are a terrible terrible country. www.thedailybeast.com/ice-arrests-...

Sunny blue-sky day in Michigan, singing and dancing to the best of The Isley Brothers while cooking for a friend. Simple pleasures, feeling the joy of music, and a moment of gratitude in the madness.

This week, a bipartisan group of Michigan senators and I introduced bills to improve police practices and strengthen community trust and safety. Michiganders across the political spectrum want and deserve safety in their communities and that includes safety in interactions with law enforcement...🧵

Republicans are trash.

I know the Combs trial this past week has triggered painful memories for many. Check out SASHA Center and support their important mission for Black women and others. The national sexual assault hotline is 800.656.HOPE. www.sashacenter.org

The hypocrisy has no bottom.

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

I have just finished Episode 6 of Yardwork: When the Wild Rose Thorns Fight Back. I am bloodied, but unbowed.

More accurate headline: "Markets begin to recover after US and China agree . . .".

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

NEW: The Washington Post obtained internal cables revealing that the U.S. government is pressuring countries facing tariffs to approve Elon Musk’s Starlink. The most corrupt administration in history

Your daily reminder that it is our judicial system that decides if someone is a criminal, not the criminal President or his minions in the executive branch.

A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers. This is corruption. Always call it out.
