If someone isn’t parking a TACO food truck outside the White House, what are we even doing with this stupid timeline!?

Foxx: This is the American Dream story they all claim to support. I’m a first-generation American, raised by a single mom in Section 8 housing. SNAP benefits—food stamps—put food on our table. Those social safety nets—they are not handouts, they are hand-ups.

If you voted for Trump, yes you DID vote to deport moms. Own it and fix yourself.

Turns out, judges agree.

Fascists love to be scary. Being called a fascist or dictator makes them proud. What they can't handle is being mocked and laughed at. Being the butt of jokes is the one thing that will consistently make Trump melt down and lash out. It's our most effective weapon outside the courts.

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT. Don’t let them spin it any other way.

Slow & steady wins the race! Big win for my union AFGE. A judge granted a preliminary injunction ruling that President Trump cannot implement mass layoffs of federal workers without the approval of Congress which created these agencies. #UnionStrong ✊🏾 click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.Xa...

Fifty years after he was graduated from Princeton University, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered the baccalaureate address at his alma mater. This is how he ended the speech:

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

This is how the news should report Trump’s rants. If news networks won’t do their job, I guess I’ll have to do it for them. 🤷🏾‍♀️

My latest: "We're In American Idiocracy Thanks to White Rage" America can't have nice things, including a normal "Memorial Day" greeting, because of the country's inability to confront and uproot white rage and grievance that has turned us into an Idiocracy. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

This is the way

♥️

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Sick. ICE arrested a U.S. citizen because they thought his REAL ID was fake. Leonardo García Venegas, born in Florida, was wrestled down to the ground, cuffed at a worksite & taken away. Only after hours—and his SSN—did they let him go. “No mistake,” DHS says. #MedSky #NewsSky #BlueSky

A thing about growing up poor, or even middle class in America, is that there comes a time when you look back on bad memories or traumatic experiences you saw and realize how many of them had something to do with a lack of money

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

The "big, beautiful bill" is a big, ugly, disgusting mess. Here's why.

So, what happens to these seniors? Do the nursing homes just put them out on the streets to die? Bc that’s what we’re talking about here.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

Guys can we just revoke this baby’s victim card? So beta Seriously such a beta. This guy is absolutely unworthy to be commander of military men and women

What a disgrace by our "Justice" Dept. The family of Ashli Babbit to recieve nearly 5 million dollars.

Great question

Attended kiddo's final middle school orchestra performance tonight. The teacher thanked all who support arts education and said she's thankful for music in these difficult times. Thank goodness for teachers like her.

OUR FINANCIAL IMPLOSION CONTINUES #Moody’s has downgraded the United States’ debt, stripping the country of its last perfect #credit rating. The move could rattle financial markets next week and push up interest rates. Moody’s held a perfect credit rating for the United States -- AAA -- since 1917.

What the fuck did they think was going to happen when they fired 400 people from the FAA to cut approximately 0.0007143% of the federal budget?

If we'd all been politically engaged when things were good and boring, we would NOT be here.

Pregnant Missouri women are not allowed to finalize a divorce…until they deliver. Ask me how I know.

Another disgusting detail in the federal tax bill: Boosts estate tax exemption to let a couple leave $29.99 million to heirs in 2026 without paying one cent in estate tax. Register for virtual rally to fight this here: tinyurl.com/52dht7ep

Pres, Gagliardi, of the 🇺🇸 Federation of Musicians: “We will not remain silent as 2 of our members Bruce Springsteen & Taylor Swift r singled out & personally attacked by the POTUS. S&S r not just brilliant musicians, they r role models & inspirations 2 millions of ppl in the US & across the🌍” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

I stood on the House floor today to sound the alarm: HB 113 is a quiet coup. It erases legislative intent, silences agency expertise, and hands power to far-right courts. This is Project 2025 in action, right here in Texas. We must not obey in advance. We must stand in opposition. (2/2) #txlege

What is happening in this country? The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly considering a reality show where immigrants compete in challenges for a shot at U.S. citizenship. Officials claim, “This isn’t The Hunger Games for immigrants.”

“Poor man wanna be rich. Rich man wanna be king. The king ain’t satisfied ‘til he rules everything.”—Springsteen, Badlands

Americans struggle to afford housing, healthcare, food, or higher education and those in elected office, except for a few, are focusing on everything BUT the affordability crisis. Why? Because those who are benefiting from grinding down the working class fund their campaigns.

Breaking:   WASHINGTON (AP) - Moody's strips U.S. government of top credit rating, saying presidents and lawmakers have failed to reverse rising debts.

Rep. Jason Smith: "And then you can look at Medicaid cuts -- Medicaid reforms, I should say." Oops.

Dr. David Kessler speaking to Rachel Maddow: “The President is destroying those institutions that gave birth to the drugs that are benefiting him.”

Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

The Afrikaner stunt is the kind of thing that has backfired so far -- it creates legal arguments for other refugees about animus. But holy hell he's not hiding the white sheets.
