AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war. I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

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.

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

Don't forget to call and write your congress critter today about the bonkers big beautiful bill. If you know they don't care about gutting Medicaid, then hammer them on the deficit. Remind them killing the tax cuts for billionaires is the only way to avoid bankrupting the country. #NoGOPTaxScam

The Big Bad Billionaire Bill betrays American families. It guts Medicaid, starving rural hospitals and leaving women & families without care. And when those hospitals close, where will pregnant women in rural communities go? All to give tax cuts to the rich. We’re fighting back.

WOW. @tanvi.bsky.social reports ICE was going to send a TEENAGER to be imprisoned in El Salvador without a trial because an officer thought a blue and white water pistol was a real gun!
