If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Meet Evan Anzoo, a five-year-old boy in South Sudan who died when Elon Musk shut down USAID and the boy lost access to his HIV meds. Musk says no one has died because of the aid shutdown, but that's because he didn't look. RIP, Evan, you deserved better. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Trump, DECEMBER 28, 2024: "I have always been in favor of the visas... I’ve been a believer in H-1B... It’s a great program" Trump, MARCH 15, 2016: "I know the H1B very well... We shouldn’t have it. Very, very bad for workers... it’s unfair for our workers. And we should end it."

‼️‼️‼️UPDATE The #Serbian police used a LRAD sonic (not water) cannon against the student protesters in #Belgrade while they were holding their 15 minutes of silence. LRAD is an acoustic weapon that fires a targeted "beam" of sound at very high volume, up to 160 dB. #SerbiaProtests #Belgrade #Serbia

There is not a single area where Ukrainian soldiers are even remotely in danger of being encircled. Instead, there is one combat area where an encirclement is happening and this in Toretsk, where Russian forces are about to be cut off in the West of the town, if they didn't have left already.

FYI: the purpose of DOGE is not efficiency. It is to break the government so thoroughly that private sector is forced upon the public. The purpose of Project 2025 is to ensure that president is the sole authority (not congress or judiciary). These two are driving the policy of the nation.

A huge reason why Dems lost the ‘24 election is because Republicans absolutely dominate the social media environment, making it infinitely harder for us to effectively message to Americans. We need more left-leaning creators and we need them yesterday.

AOC nailed it. The filibuster is like a baseball bat. When Republicans hold it, they swing for the fences, knocking down everything in their way. When Democrats have it, they stare at it like it’s a foreign object, then politely hand it back to the GOP so they can use it against them again.

New, from me: Trump and Musk are engaged in a broad-based downsizing of government, using that downsizing to selectively target their enemies, while expanding their political power by trading exceptions to the downsizing. It's a new spoils systems. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

This isn’t a clean funding bill – it’s a blank check to Trump and Musk to play games with the federal budget. This bill cuts domestic programs, undermines VA health care, and jeopardizes local infrastructure projects. Which explains why Republicans aren't holding Town Halls.

Then vote against a shitty bill, let Republicans provide the votes for it, and then, if there aren’t enough votes from them, negotiate changes that make it less shitty. Voting for whatever tripe they throw up doesn’t make you “dignified”, it just makes you complicit.

Psst, the plan is to make kids and parents desperate (and therefore willing to work for less) AND to put small farmers out of business so Big Ag can buy up what little farmland they haven't already, thus completing their cartel stranglehold on our food supply. Pass it on.

Is there any actual confirmation that aid and intelligence sharing to Ukraine has actually been reauthorized? Has Trump actually agreed to it? If so, will he change his mind tomorrow? I still smell the same rats I've been smelling all along.
