If the Biden economy was so strong, then how come it only took Trump a couple months to wreck it?

By slashing Medicaid, Republicans are choosing to close at least 200 rural hospitals across the country. Instead of siding with their communities, Republicans are prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. And Americans will suffer for it. www.americanprogress.org/article/medi...

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’ Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac. This is why Dems lose. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

"The language that is being used has a specific resonance, which, historically, has been used to change regime type. It is important that the rights of human beings were violated. It is important that the rule of law was ignored. It is important that the executive is trying to define reality."

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio. I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’. 😡

Excellent 2020 piece by @PeterHotez ... "In the US, #vaccine hesitancy is contributing to 3 public health threats: the return of measles, deaths from flu & needless cases of cervical cancer." The risks from an MMR vax are vanishingly small, esp compared to the devastating #BlueSky #MedSky

For anti-vax idiots... For every 1,000 children who get measles, around 1 to 3 will die, often from pneumonia; 1 in 1,000 will develop encephalitis, or swelling of the brain, which can lead to intellectual disability. About 1/5 unvaccinated require hospitalization. www.factcheck.org/2025/03/meas...

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them. We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.
