Buttigieg: "I know this -- in my experience both in the cabinet and as an intelligence officer, you would have to go out of your way to take classified information and move it into an unclassified system."

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse. Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

More people need to see this. It cannot be understated. Trump is trying to criminalize the service of Habitat for Humanity and go after nonprofits who help people when they need it most. It is political retribution. It is unjust and it is a direct threat to our democracy.

1/My daughter goes to a DC public charter school. Every child in my neighborhood of public servants and academics goes to DCPS. If this 20%, 1bil cut to DCs budget passed the senate (WHICH IS 75% FUNDED BY DC TAX DOLLARS) passes the Senate, our schools, sanitation, clean water will be decimated

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

So, if I’m reading this correctly, Congress appropriated a bunch of funds for specific purposes. Musk will be throwing that out the window and disregarding the law they enacted. But individual legislators can call a hotline and beg for their pet projects to be spared. That’s how we’re doing it now.
