Let’s pause for a sec to note that the immigration “issue” is fake, fabricated right-wing fearmongering. There are way more native-born bad apples here. Immigrants are a net enormous gain in this country. I love them and welcome them.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

trump is actually a worse human being than hitler was. Unlike hitler, trump: cannot love. can barely read or write. has no creative impulse, only a will to destroy. has no ability to plan, only follows others’. He hasn’t had time to do all hitler’s evil. But he will do far worse if allowed.

Terror for profit on our taxpayer dime. I am sick with disgust. Oppose this with your whole heart, or you don’t have one.

Why did scotus put language in the Garcia decision about courts having to show deference to the executive branch’s ability to conduct foreign policy? Kidnapping this person and shipping him out of the country is not foreign policy, it’s domestic terrorism no matter where he ended up. #shameonscotus

So having ordered the trump admin to get Garcia back, and seeing trump say FU to the courts, does John Roberts just ... go boating this weekend and forget the whole guy-kidnapped- into-a-hellhole thing?

Why can’t Mr Art of the Deal make a deal to bring Garcia home now?

ICE agents are the scrapings left from the scrapings at the bottom of the barrel. Who do they think they are, to treat fellow humans this way at the behest of a criminal moron?

The fact is that as long as this country's system allows criminal morons like trump to go unpunished and be elected, we are not a trustworthy trading partner. The world gave us a partial bye the first time, probably hoping it was a one-off error. But twice? Nah. As it shouldn't.

China has the cards. Trump handed them the full deck & got nothing in return. Art of the truly stupid deal.

I want the list of exactly which countries are kissing his ass. Let’s see it. Surely he wouldn’t be lying 🤥

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Idea. Arrange a Nobel Peace Prize for trump if he agrees to leave office and STFU forever. (He desperately wants one.) Then immediately revoke it

“These countries are calling us up, kissing my ass,” Trump said during a speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner. “They are dying to make a deal. 'Please, please sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything sir,'” he imitated a begging foreign leader. What a stupid lying lout.

The cowardice on John Roberts’ face is matched only by the cruelty and stupidity on trump’s

People who don’t vaccinate their kids do not love their kids as much as I love mine. Period. They also don’t cherish their neighbors at all. Exception for physical reason such as allergy. No exception for religious excuses.
