So, here’s the thing. I am not going to engage in a serious discussion about a reality TV show about people competing for citizenship, pitched by the person who shoots dogs and takes pictures in front of gulags. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Most of the country has moved on from this story Perhaps distracted by the Qatar jet scandal or the clearly unconstitutional Executive Order on birthright citizenship While hundreds of immigrants rot in El Salvadoran because the Trump administration violated their due process rights UNACCEPTABLE

Today Republicans blocked our bill to hold the Trump Admin and the government of El Salvador accountable for their conspiracy to violate due process rights of people living in the U.S. This isn't just about Mr. Abrego Garcia — this is about defending the rights of ALL. Shameful.

Trump's latest move: sacrificing our children's education for the profit of his wealthy friends. First, he let hungry kids go without meals, now he's auctioning off our schools to line the pockets of billionaires. #DontDefundPublicSchools #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Pam Bondi gave #Musk and #DOGE the keys to “legal” immigrant data. #Legal. Let that sink in. Now, quiet suburban neighborhoods are shattered with masked Gestapo goon squads banging on doors and hauling people away. We the people have the power to make it stop. Hold them accountable.

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

Hidden deep in the Republican tax bill is a $1.4B gift to the NRA: a repeal of the 90-year-old tax on gun silencers. Just 12 lines in a 400-page bill. A huge win for gun lobbyists and a dangerous loss for public safety. They buried it for a reason.

Since the beginning of this year, The Atlantic has hired twelve journalists away from The Washington Post (and just announced ANOTHER key hire today). The New York Times has poached at least ten Posties. CNN has picked up half a dozen. The exodus is deeply distressing to Post staffers.🧵

🧵1/ On May 9, Trump signed an order to build housing for 6,000 unhoused vets by 2028—by stealing funds that supposedly went to “illegal aliens.” No federal housing fund existed for undocumented immigrants. This is manufactured hate, designed to pit vets against migrants. Propaganda. #OnYourSide
