What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This explains why they think all those dead people are getting checks.

The Trump Administration is not "screening for antisemitism." They are screening for anyone who has a moral conscience about whether Palestinians deserve to live in the same way that they are sending actual legal immigrants to gulags for daring to say "stop killing Palestinian kids"

things are getting let out of the box that do not get put back in without bodycounts that have commas in them.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

give me your earnest, your cringe, your hopeful your wine moms full of normie energy

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

It took under 100 days for "I'll lower prices on day one" to become "who needs money or a 401k when your heart is full of love for Dear Leader Trump"

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

I hope every DC resident makes their lives utterly miserable.

There is a vacancy for leadership in the Democratic Party. It's a brand new ball game. Forget the old rules and customs. No one "deserves" anything due to age and seniority and donors. It's up for grabs, Democrats. Time to step up. Whoever is a fighter will be rewarded.

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

it is fascinating how the reporting out of Ottawa is "Trump and his cabinet are serious about threatening Canada" and the line we hear is 'surely that's too absurd to happen' as if Donald fucking Trump becoming a 21st century authoritarian autocrat isn't also absurd

Don’t tell me democracy is at risk and a constitutional crisis is unfolding and the best you got is a modified ping pong paddle.

Dems look like they're bidding on fascism at a silent auction

Please please please. This is the weakest sauce everrrrr.

@levin.house.gov Where is your name?

@mikelevin.org Where is your name?

The tactics Trump used with Zelensky don’t shock Black USians because the gov has always used the same with us: 1) Be respectful/“professional” even if they aren’t. 2) To get help, expect to give up resources. 3) Be thankful/grovel for crumbs or be punished. 4) Say/do what they want or expect rage.

Good.

Once again both @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social completely fail to meet the moment - weighing in as of they are couple of milquetoast "Democratic strategists" commenting on CNN or MSNBC instead of leading their caucus in an all out resistance. Pathetic weak sauce.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.
