Some New Apostolic Reformation groups should, but obviously won't, be declared terrorist organizations. One man's terrorist is another POTUS's freedom fighter, I guess...

One of my biggest disappointments in American discourse over the past decade has been the mainstream media. With very few exceptions, they have failed the American people miserably.

What a contrast: On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat. On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Sending Marines to face off against citizens on U.S. soil is fundamentally un-American, a MASSIVE waste of taxpayer dollars, and an insult to our servicemembers. A dangerous and needless escalation by a wannabe dictator. Everyone must speak out against this abuse of power.

Real talk. If I'm the Int'l committee for the 2028 LA Olympics or 2026 World Cup, I have 0 desire to subject my athletes to ICE fascism in the USA. Why would any athlete risk their life, safety, & years of hard work to get targeted by ICE for having the wrong complexion or tweeting the wrong tweet?

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

This should be a national debate, not an executive power grab. 📌 The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

If it was really about celebrating military families, we could put $30 million toward helping them offset the cost of their child care, food assistance and tuition…  But it isn't. Trump is throwing himself a $30 million birthday parade just to stroke his own ego.

Trump's Big Bill: -Expands his power to ignore court rulings -Gives the ultra-wealthy an even bigger estate tax break -Disqualifies nearly 2M children from the child tax credit -Adds unnecessary red tape that would kick millions of people off Medicaid It's a big, ugly mess.

I am worried that even as we see the weaponization of government against Trump's political opponents, too few have stepped forward to object. I worry that as a result, we will see an escalation of political retribution that will be met with what MLK called "the appalling silence of the good people."

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

McGovern: House rules require a super majority vote for any bill that increases income taxes. Guess what? Republicans are turning that rule off. Why did they have to do that? Because they know this bill will increase taxes on those families struggling the most to put food on the table.
