We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

Remember when Trump claimed the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough to help North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene? Well, his administration just denied the state’s request for continued FEMA relief assistance. This hypocrisy isn’t just staggering. It’s cruel.

Really? Congress votes on bills without even reading them? Our coalition read and broke it down. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) admitted he voted for Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill without realizing it weakened federal judges’ power to hold officials in contempt.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

We needed hope. Wisconsin came through. Thanks to the people who made it happen: the voters, the volunteers, the perfect candidate in Susan Crawford, @benwikler.bsky.social and @wisdems.bsky.social who organize ALL YEAR ROUND. They know we don’t just get a democracy. We have to make one. EVERY DAY.

How does the current occupant of the White House divert your attention from Signalgate and telling Americans he doesn't care if they spend more money. By threatening all of us with a 3rd term MEDIA, DO NOT FALL FOR IT. DON'T FOLLOW THE SHINY OBJECT. STAY ON SIGNALGATE.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Targeting law firms for who they represent. Removing things from museums. Deporting legal residents without due process. Threatening companies that raise prices. Playing loose with classified intel. Impeaching judges for their decisions. We’re losing our country—fast.

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal honor to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.
