The important question isn't whether the out-party writes out articles of impeachment; it's whether the president's party supports them. The problem here is and has been the Republicans, not the Democrats.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Kilmar Abrego García. The world, especially our country, must say his name. Respectfully @schumer.senate.gov, you said “democracy isn’t at at risk yet.” Your red line being if Trump defied SCOTUS. That rubicon has now been crossed. We NEED the House/Senate united. So what is the plan? +…

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

This has kind of flown under the radar, what with all the other stuff going on, but it's worth pointing out that the Republicans are currently abolishing the filibuster in practice

Trump confirms his plan to send incarcerated U.S. citizens to El Salvador. Can you hear me now? www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar...

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

No, Washington Post, economic ruin will not turn white bigot farmers from Trump.

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

Foreign concentration camps for American citizens.

"Those people... those millions of people... I never knew it would come to that. You must believe it." "Herr Janning, it came to that the first time you sentenced a man to death you knew to be innocent."

Frightening for all Americans. 7:25 mark. DJT: Home-growns are next. You gotta build about 5 more places. Bukele: Ya, we got space. Sycophant audience: cackles in nazi-laughter.

This is it. This is the red line. Trump threatened to illegally traffick all opposition be calling them "domestic terrorists", and paying El Salvador for concentration camps. bsky.app/profile/tito...

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.” x.com/nayibbukele/...

This is horrifying, and as expected, the White House Press Corps lack the guts to push back.

I feel like “President of the United States suggests he would deport American citizens to prisons in El Salvador” should be fairly big news

So many people paved the way for this grotesque spectacle. Idiotic non-voters who “don’t do politics;” college kids and the abandon Harris crowd who are nowhere to be seen now regarding Gaza; the media; racist and sexist voters who actually chose the criminal over the prosecutor.

If implemented, the plan outlined cuts (in addition to those at NASA) will set the Nation, society, people and the planet back decades and harm so much from fishing to farming, aquaculture, education, accurate weather forecasting and storm warnings, science leadership and so much more. 🧪😡😢

1. The Trump administration claims that a program to protect rural Alabamans from raw sewage is racist so it is canceling the program as part of its crackdown on "DEI" According to a press release, this is about treating "every individual with dignity and respect." 🤔

House Budget Chair Arrington (R-TX) said a large fiscal package using current policy baseline couldn’t pass the House, even though House budget endorsed that approach. “It's well beyond our vote margin,” Arrington said, calling current policy baseline a “non-starter” for perhaps 10+ House Rs

"Democrats don’t need to pretend that Trumpworld’s purported concern with corruption is in good faith; they don’t need to mutter about how of course they are opposed to government waste. The record of the right is clear: Fascists are corrupt liars."

HAPPENING NOW: Rümeysa Öztürk (repped by ACLU) has a hearing before Vermont federal judge William K. Sessions III. Öztürk is the Tufts PhD student snatched off the street by ICE and now facing deportation for cowriting a pro-Palestine op-ed in the student newspaper. 🧵

hint: I am absolutely talking about blaming Real ID deadline chaos 100% on Donald Trump

Well it’s true that we shredded our alliance with the entirety of Europe, our historically successful trading relationships, our role as leader of the G7, but at least we built strong ties with El Salvador, one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, so it could imprison our people

Rubio quickly went from the maybe-kinda-sorta-i hope so guardrail in the admin to the person directly responsible for its most horrific actions
