Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.

Republicans say they’re targeting just criminals and gang members. Bullsh*t. They’re targeting anyone who “looks illegal," and it will only get worse. They need to make their 3,000 a day quota no matter what. #MAGAKidnappers

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

ROSEN: Given the rise in antisemitic violence & to show that the Trump admin does have a 0 tolerance policy for antisemitism, will you dismiss Ms. Kingsley from her role as military spox? HEGSETH: She does a fantastic job... you're attempting to win political points R: You are not a serious person

Markwayne Mullin is pretty much saying, explicitly, that the invasion of CA is revenge for integration.

Genuinely sad and insane that @marshablackburn, Jack Johnson & Sexton want to enshrine this into law instead of banning it. Deeply un-American.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

aside from the fact that what ice is doing is unwarranted and illegal, remember that an immigration violation is a civil misdemeanor — akin to a traffic ticket abolish ice

We're a decade into this shit and I still cannot get my mind around how America put the single worst human being it has produced in the postwar era in charge not once but twice.

SIXTY federal agents kitted out like they were taking on Osama Bin Laden to raid a swap meet. The ONLY people they ended up arresting were to people already going through immigration court proceedings, seemingly rearrested because ICE agents didn’t want to go home empty-handed.

If you live in the US, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. gov't created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Instead of listening to their constituents who are resoundingly opposed to slashing Medicaid, members of the Senate are moving forward with deep cuts that will leave millions without access to health coverage. We have to stop this bill in its tracks.

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

As Senate Republicans rewrite the reconciliation bill that would gut Medicaid and SNAP, we’re making sure key GOP senators hear from their angry constituents.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Andrew Cuomo sexually abused more than a dozen women. If that alone is not enough to disqualify him from ever again holding elected office—if the conversation even continues past that—the speaker (outlet) is saying it's OK to sexually abuse women.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.
