I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

NEW: Whooping cough is killing babies. It’s not just measles cases that are soaring as vaccine rates decline. And the Trump administration recently cut $11 billion from state and local agencies on the front lines of protecting Americans from outbreaks. www.propublica.org/article/whoo...

You know it’s bad when the illegitimate compromised Supreme Court voted unanimously to force the orange felon and his group of criminals to bring back the Maryland man they deported to El Salvador. Also, let’s stop pretending it was a mistake, it was done on purpose.

🧵 We got a pretty nasty load of bad news yesterday on the future of Social Security. It's not hyperbole to say we've passed the point of no return on Trump/DOGE's efforts to kill the agency...

Bottom line: Trump can't keep our kids safe from measles. ➡️ 505 cases in TX. Two unvaxxed kids have died. ➡️ Other states: NM (56 cases, 1 death), KS (32), OH (20), OK (10), IN (6). ➡️ These numbers are almost certainly underestimates. Vaccination saves lives. 💉 apnews.com/article/meas...

Can we Americans still spell C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N? And why did this story break today in the Financial Times, a London newspaper?

Good morning ppl! It’s Federal Fuckery Friday. Currently we are looking at ~250,000 terminations across the Gov.. Every one of these firings affects you/ us. Short staffed or closed national parks. Poor/ no service with social security. Food on store shelves that was never inspected.

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.
