Happy Mother's Day. It's a moral outrage that we're the only industrialized country without paid family and medical leave.

Every single ICE employee should be in prison.

Klobuchar on Stephen Miller saying the administration is considering suspending habeas corpus: "He's doing it because they don't want to focus on what's really in front of them, and that they have created havoc in our economy ... no, they're not gonna reverse habeas corpus in the Congress."

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Yes!! This woman is such a badass and so spot on. I’m concerned though that ICE is actually using white supremacist militia groups to carry out these raids, and not legally bounds federal employees, and that is why they’re hiding their faces.

Crazy how long this conversation has been going on

Laura Loomer not thrilled about Swamp Force One ✈️

This video is making the rounds again for a reason. A great example of how you make your voices heard—without saying a word. Power in numbers and it sends a clear message. This is what democracy looks like: standing up to fascism, tyranny, and racism. This is the way!

It’s actually the republicans in congress who are to blame for the loss of our democracy. Checks and balances can’t work when one branch doesn’t do its job.

I can't stop laughing. 😂

Hey reporters…next time trump says “I don’t know, I haven’t heard about it” in response to a pertinent, breaking story, your response needs to be “how is it you don’t know about it? Aren’t you supposed to be the president? How do we all know about it, but you don’t?”

Should Not Even Be Necessary To Ask This Question…..

Louder for the voters in the back!

Warnock: Georgia officials said they were sorry but their hands were tied, you can’t vote the first weekend of the runoff after the holiday so I decided to untie them, I sued them. And I won… They appealed asking for emergency relief. Emergency relief from what? People voting?

No matter how bad you imagine smallpox was, it was worse than that.

This isn’t a democracy

He’s breaking his oath…Isn’t that treason?

This is what happens with the Neanderthal politics of the trump White House. Can we please put Homo sapiens in charge again??

I am not often quoted in @nytimes.com DealBook, but I hope the business community is listening.

How can American billionaires have any right to American tax payers’ money when THEY DON’T PAY ANY TAXES!?!? That money should ONLY be used to benefit those who pay taxes (which includes immigration services because they pay taxes!) Giving any money to billionaires is pure theft.

We have no kings in the United States of America.

James: I entered into public service because I recognize the power of government—and that government should be, and has always been, a force for good. For those reasons, I am defending the United States government—defending it against these illegal and unlawful acts by this president

Not only is it rigged, it’s a return to slave policy.

Good morning. DOGE is fake and not a real agency. Please quit pretending it’s real

Stop calling, and showing photos of trump as a king. That’s what he wants. We should instead turn our attention to the real drivers of this coup…the authors of project 2025. Trump is too stupid to pull this off. P2025 are the ones telling him what to do. Stop them and T will return to being an idiot

Frost: I'm one of many. I'm not the first member of congress here and I'm not going to be the last. This is not about Maxwell Frost. This is about preventing our country from losing what makes it exceptional.

Bernie Has Been Right About This For Years!

Riggs: We all should be offended that our service members and their families are being targeted the way they are. The people who raise their hands to serve shouldn’t be first in line to lose their ballot just because they happen to be coming from a Democratic county. That’s just not right.

It’s ridiculous how long it takes some people to come around to the obvious

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Love this guy ✊🏼

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

He’s doing this on purpose. Journalists (and lawyers) need to investigate who was selling stocks before trump threatened tariffs, and who bought stock after the market tank. Guaranteed it’s a who’s who of his GOP cronies. Market manipulation at its worst & most corrupt.

ELIE MYSTAL: “This is what fascism looks like. I don’t know what y’all expected it to look like… People are being abducted and disappeared from our streets. These people haven’t even been charged in court.” 🇺🇸

Jon Stewart on Trump’s third term plans: “You trying to order off-menu from the Constitution?”

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com: "Mr Taibbi said when he was first searching through the so-called Twitter files he didn't know what he was looking at. Well, he still doesn't. Everything looks like a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works."
