"I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again"

If Kilmar Abrego Garcia had only beaten Capitol police officers half to death with a Trump flag on his way into pissing on the halls on Congress while looking to hang a Vice President—he’d be free right now.

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?

THIS IS THE ENERGY WE NEED!!!

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

potential message: the GOP just raised taxes by $6 trillion potential message: the GOP is kidnapping and trafficking people for things they MIGHT say dem message: the GOP might be insider trading—a thing you associate nancy pelosi with—and we're sending them a nice letter asking them for evidence

Our government has gone INSANE.

He's wiping out your life savings, destroying the Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid upon which you were promised you could depend, ending the medical research that would protect and prolong your life and that of your families & gutting your liberties...and he doesn't care about any of it.

From Nov 7:

President Trump out on a golf cart while people's retirements go up in flames. That may end up being the most enduring image of his presidency.

Over 1,200 protests took place in all 50 states today including this massive one in Boston. Beautiful. 💙👊

What an absolutely incredible sight in New York City today.

It’s wild that tanking the economy is bad became a partisan issue.

CHICAGO…

Attention White House: Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.

THEY’D BE SCREAMING IMPEACHMENT!

This is like if your house caught on fire, the firefighters put it out and new owners moved in, and you came back four years later and immediately set it back on fire.

Everyone needs to call up their Republican members of Congress today & ask them why they’re raising taxes on their own constituents. Make them own this because they do.

Again, if you've got a Republican representing you in Congress -- and I don't care who it is -- call them to complain about the tariffs. They're panicking.

This was….five months ago

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

The US stock market has lost over $2 trillion in the last 20 minutes. Nice, nice. Nice.

People are out here underestimating the power of speeches like “I Have a Dream” wasn’t a speech. Staawp it. You look silly. Speeches have the power to move people—that’s why they want to bully people into silence, and that’s why we’re going to be louder than ever.

“I promise you, (John Lewis) that I will do everything possible to make you proud.” —Cory Booker

22 hours after he began his marathon speech, Senator Cory Booker is tired but still speaking. “I don’t have that much gas in the tank,” he says. Since Monday night, Senator Booker has forced the Senate and the country to address the crisis of the Trump administration.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is being decimated right now. Mass layoffs happening across agencies (NIH, FDA, CDC etc). Some employees found out by security badge being denied. Others got email. Line outside Health Resources and Services Administration this AM shared with me:

This keeps getting worse and worse.

I see you. I love you. And I love to see you being you.

*Joe Biden cancels student debt* MAGA: "Tyrant!" *Donald Trump says he'll ignore the Constitution and run for a third term* MAGA: "Cry more, libs! Trump derangement syndrome!! 🤣🤣🤣"

“Food banks across Michigan are bracing for food shortages this year after the federal government stopped $4.3 million worth of shipments, including chicken, eggs and cheese ― even as many report that the need for food assistance is increasing.”

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA... The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

100,000 lbs. and $2 million bucks worth of food headed for Northeast Ohio...is going to sit and ROT...because of Trump's executive order last week.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

Ireland has now issued travel advisory to the US, after Finland, Germany, the UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark. Is this what makes America great?

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

just profoundly disturbed by the kidnapping and disappearing of people right off the streets of this country. hard to think about much else—and there’s so much else.

300 kids in Kansas City just lost their preschool thanks to Trump. The Headstart program provided preschool education, nutrition and health services for children from low-income families, as well as children with diagnosed disabilities. fox4kc.com/news/ymca-en...

Lutnick probably has a net worth of between $2 billion to $4 billion, according to various sources.
