🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Stupid bitch!

Really impossible to overstate how completely this guy has failed at every aspect of being an opposition leader over the past six months. Jeffries is a truly inspiring example for every soulless careerist who would rather be king of nothing than stand for anything decent in the world.

Chris Murphy: "By taking away the power of courts to restrain the president when he is clearly acting in an unlawful manner, as he is when he says children born in the US are no longer citizens, you are assisting him in trying to undermine the rule of law and undermine our democracy."

This isn’t over—we can still stop the GOP bill. I’m staying in the fight for every baby who shouldn’t go hungry. Every senior who shouldn’t get kicked out of a nursing home. Every American who shouldn’t lose their health care. Now is the time to call your senators.

“Alligator Alcatraz” will begin operations on Wednesday. This is your reminder that a prison without due process is a concentration camp.

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday. Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast? Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

Republicans, before you vote to close 1 of 4 nursing homes, can you update us on where those people will go? Maybe call a few seniors in your state and go over plans for where they go next? Or call the son whose dad has dementia and tell him how he can be a full-time caregiver?

Yes sir Massa, Let me fetch that right away Sir!

Not gonna lie, I’m kind of turned on right now

Today, a chamber that once filled me with wonderment made me feel disgust.

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.

Josh Hawley acted like he was going to fight the Medicaid cuts that will hurt many thousands in his state - most his voters in rural areas. Then he ran away.

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

Millions will lose health care. Hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost. Electricity costs will skyrocket. Needy families will lose access to food. The GOP’s budget bill does all that so Donald Trump can give hundreds of billions in tax breaks to his rich friends.

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion.  They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich.  Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

We are just 6 months in… the amount of cruelty seems to be never ending. 😢 So much pain, anguish, cruelty, & harm are being intentionally inflicted onto our population. Are these considered crimes against humanity? (Even folks not directly involved are suffering) Class action lawsuits?

The Senate is currently debating over Trump’s Tax Scam before moving to vote-a-rama and a final vote. We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks: indivisible.org/resource/cal... And when their voicemails fill up, use this tool to send an email: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

Understand the assignment? 😁☮️💙✌🏼🌊

Chris Murphy: "The CBO, nonpartisan, says it's gonna kick between 10 and 15 million people off their healthcare. And for what? To be able to afford a new $270,000 tax cut for the richest families in the country ... it's a moral abomination."

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

This is so much 🔥🔥🔥🔥

A joy to march in NYC Pride with the people's champ Tish James 🏳️‍🌈

If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.

Karma. She's quick. Here's looking at you, Murkowski.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is: In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.” In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

All the UN members walked out during #Netanyahu’s speech! 👏

Notice the pattern? Republicans work to advance their worst bills in the middle of the night—hoping you’re asleep while they attack your healthcare, your rights, and your future. (1/2)

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin

These numbers for ice are insane

More fake ICE agents doing horrible things. Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them

They demand Zohran Mamdani be deported for offering free childcare. They cream their jeans over the thought of an Alligator Alcatraz. Truly evil, vile, miserable people that only want the worst for everyone.

Reminder: They’re afraid of Zohran because he’s better at this than they are. He is putting the people first, and it reminds them of their own failings.

Let’s keep it up. www.adammockler.com/p/blue-state...

Republicans are trying to jam a bill through the Senate that: -Cuts $900B from Medicaid -Kicks millions off their health care -Raises grocery costs for 40 million Americans -Adds $4.2T to the deficit All to cut taxes for billionaires. Rotten to its core.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.
