The dramatic actions against ActBlue and immigrants are also signs of weakness as administration officials attempt to distract supporters not only from the disastrous tariffs, but also from the growing evidence that Trump is not functioning as a president should. Heather Cox Richardson

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are bending the law so they can fire thousands of Social Security workers. They want to get rid of the people who make sure you get your monthly checks and help out if there’s a problem.

They’re detaining US citizens, arresting judges, and subpoenaing journalists because they want to scare us into silence about their authoritarian agenda. It’s not going to happen. Let’s show them what we’re made of.

WTF? FBI agents arrested a Milwaukee county judge on Friday, accusing her of shielding an immigrant from federal authorities. The allegation? That Judge Hannah Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from” someone they were pursuing, according to a now-deleted post by Mr. Patel.

So look at what just happened in Milwaukee. We’ve now reached the point where Trump and his stooges are arresting Judges. Hello 1940’s! This is exactly what happens in dictatorships. PAY ATTENTION!

📢 #AltGov Announcement Few resources are as valuable to our nation as our military veterans. What they have given can never be repaid. Standing for them is an honor & responsibility that this administration neglects. @rogueva.bsky.social is here to shine a light on the goings on at the VA.

The guys in the White House talk all day about how soft the Europeans are. But when there is an actual war in the actual world, the Trump people immediately submit to what they think is the stronger side and complain that everyone else doesn’t do the same.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous. Courage is contagious.

Our country’s military is weaker because these spineless Republican sock puppets confirmed Fox News Pete Hegseth, despite them knowing full well he was a JOKE of a nominee. The world is laughing at us right now because they were too weak to tell Trump no. Utter disgrace.

When you defy court orders and deny one man his Constitutional rights, you threaten them for ALL. Trump can post all he wants, but a federal judge said there's “no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or to any terrorist activity.” Trump needs to put up or shut up IN COURT.

It is time for Trump to put up or shut up in Court. A FEDERAL JUDGE said “no evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any criminal organization.” No one is vouching for one man. We are standing up for EVERYONE’s right to due process under the Constitution.
