Trump said he loves the poorly educated and, soon, he'll have many many more of them to love.

I am honestly in awe of how well the HSGAC and Senate Budget Democratic staff did. They won on almost everything. Legendary stuff here. Tho it does help that the GOP staffers in the room were…. not good at their jobs.

ABOLISH ICE

The conditions at an ICE family detention facility in Texas are so bad that adults are literally physically jockeying with children for water. This is the desperation ICE is deliberately and, it must be said, sadistically producing. apnews.com/article/migr...

Strong feeling that Democratic leadership are DRAMATICALLY underestimating the desire amongst Democratic voters to punish the ICE thugs that are doing this. Voters want accountability, and this is going to boil over into D party fracture if @schumer.senate.gov keeps trying to ignore it

FWIW, every MAGA-connected account on FB that I’ve seen today has used this exact phrase “sleeper cells” and they’ve ascribed responsibility for them to Biden’s immigration policy. It should be fairly obvious what the PR strategy is here. Any blowback the US might experience is Biden’s fault.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Exactly.

You can say Trump bombed Iran for any number of more recent reasons but the reality is that he bombed Iran because in 2017 threw out the deal Obama made, specifically because Obama made it, and was completely unable to negotiate a better deal himself.

Our people at the Pentagon are what I might describe as flummoxed and more than a little worried.

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

They will go to incredible lengths to avoid admitting simple reality: -Forever wars were happening -Biden chose to end them -Trump is reversing that decision There is no 'supposed' about it, no inevitable trend, there was one (1) president who decided to stop warring for a second

look Republicans start wars and increase the debt; they're born this way and it's basically discrimination to make a thing about it

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

Fuck this. Fuck everything about this. Trump has broken every constraint and revealed them as nonexistent or rotten. This is repulsive and, I swear to god, anyone who doesn’t stand against this doesn’t deserve an ounce of power or influence.

It should tell us something that OTHER federal law enforcement are now opening their interactions with the public by saying, “I’m not ICE!” In case you were wondering how toxic ICE has become….

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.

Before they drill for oil inside your favorite park….check out this doc series. The history of creation (& history of their being threatened) might inspire to help protect. Add reading The Last American Road Trip by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social & you have a 1-2 punch (to the face).

Emerson Colindres, a recent high school graduate & wonderful athlete, a 19 year-old kid was abducted at an immigration check-in. He was thrown in jail & then deported to a country he left at age 8. He has no connections there & no place to stay. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 to stop the cruelty!

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

I'm not religious. The church would consider me lapsed. I've got sincere grievances I don't plan on discarding. All that said, the Catholic Church will be the tip of the spear and they deserve total, unwavering commitment behind them on immigration. Stand up together or be laid low

Singh: The Secretary of Defense is the civilian leader of the military… But if the reporting is accurate that he’s not even part of these conversations, it shows how irrelevant Hegseth has truly become. This is what happens when you have unserious people in serious roles.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was not a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who was a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.
