Harvey Milk's legacy will not be erased by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's petty culture wars and attempts to undermine the tremendous contributions and service of the LGBTQ+ community to our country.

🧵We feds are all struggling desperately with this question: do I stay and keep fighting or am I becoming complicit in a fascist regime? We commend the bravery of our dear colleague Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos who resigned today in protest of the changes made to COVID-19 vaccine recommendations.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, Donald Trump is publicly supporting a conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was actually killed in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone. Just a heads up in case you know of anyone who might be interested in investigating the cognitive deterioration of the commander-in-chief.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

It’s baffling that Trump can justify tariffs against Mexico by citing the cartels while simultaneously cutting a deal with Sinaloa allowing 17 cartel family members safe harbor in the United States.

🚨Oh my god. Someone at DHS believed this was a real letter—and not the obvious fake that it reportedly is. The person who’s accused of sending it is apparently in jail awaiting trial for ROBBING Mr. Reyes. He was trying to get his VICTIM deported before the trial. And DHS may be doing it for him!

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.
