Donald Trump is weaponizing the IRS against Harvard now, but who will he try to punish next? Revoke the non-profit status of churches and hospitals? Snatch tax credits from families? Deny deductions for small businesses? It's illegal and wrong. And it threatens everyone.

Perhaps the reason it took time to confirm that Fetterman is a homicidal maniac due to an alleged medical condition is because his "kill 'em all" stance on Gaza is indistinguishable from the rest of Congress

Last night, I offered an amendment to Republicans’ budget bill to prevent ICE from conducting immigration raids at domestic violence shelters. Every Republican voted no — abandoning DV survivors and enabling their abusers. Shameful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6EH...

"We had 100 days of your leadership, with respect, with strength." Yesterday Walz was fawning over Trump, at the North Korea cabinet meeting. Today Trump fired Walz. They never learn, the Trump sycophants. Never. He'll always throw you under the bus.

None of the official ABC tweets or clips from the Trump interview tonight feature the most important clip of all: a demented Trump repeatedly and falsely claiming, and seeming bizarrely to believe, that Albrego Garcia literally had the letters and numbers MS13 on his knuckles.

Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’ Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac. This is why Dems lose. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Trump’s DOJ ordered ICE agents to conduct home raids without a warrant, in clear violation of the 4th Amendment. And three American children were just unlawfully deported, including one with cancer. Where is the outrage from the so-called “party of freedom”?
