Statement from North America's Building Trades Unions on Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: “If enacted, this stands to be the biggest job-killing bill in the history of this country. Simply put, it is the equivalent of terminating more than 1,000 Keystone XL pipeline projects”

The biggest struggle of US politics at the moment is trying to get the average citizen to realize that the debate over "fiscal responsibility vs services for the needy" or whatever has been completely sidelined in favor of "should we dismantle the government except as an instrument of death y/n"

Take a minute to look at these increases to the ICE budget in the GOP mega bill. Take another minute to let it sink in. They're preparing a police state that will far exceed rounding up Spanish-speaking brown people.

tonight’s senate vote-a-rama has been postponed and is now expected tomorrow, per senate whip’s office. vote-a-rama is normally an overnight affair, because exhaustion is a tactic used by the majority. this is not something that happens when you’re all good to move forward.

Camilo Montoya-Galvez of CBS News reporting a 13th detainee death in ICE custody in FY2025 last week: a 75-year-old Cuban man. This means we have already surpassed the 12 detainee deaths ICE reported in fiscal year 2024 with three months to go.

Been seeing many posts melting down over this, and many of them don't seem to understand both chambers of Congress always have authority to overrule a parliamentarian with a majority vote. That's how the chamber rules have always worked Senators hide behind the Parliamentarian to avoid hard votes

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

For 6 months, Dem leaders have downplayed or refused to frontally address many of Trump's worst abuses by saying those are "distractions" from the Dems focusing on economic issues. But as Trump's tax bill is being voted on, Jeffries is attacking a Dem ...over a phrase that Dem doesn't even use.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Exactly, once due process and habeas corpus are out the window, citizenship doesn't matter. All they have to do now is ACCUSE you of being here illegally, and they can arrest and disappear you for good. If proof of citizenship emerges retroactively, well. They can't tell El Salvador what to do

I can understand this reluctance but I do not agree with it. Nazi Germany was not a mass-extermination state from the get-go. It should not be beyond the pale to raise concerns about a reactionary regime heavily investing in capturing and detaining people who are labeled invading enemies.

Hakeem Jeffries isn't super vulnerable to a primary challenger, but it's not impossible. His district is very weird as it includes lots of south Brooklyn. The path to victory for the left would require a Black candidate who could blow it out in Bed Stuy and then hold down the margin elsewhere.

I was there. It was simply staggering. I can't remember feeling this moved by a political event, I am still under its spell. What's on the picture is maybe one third of the total crowd. Some people estimate that this may have been the biggest oppo (i.e., not state-orchestrated) event since 1956.

The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

🚨 New CBO analysis below. Looking at the immigration provisions, my read is that they project a cost to taxpayers of $172.8 billion dollars. That money is partially offset by $31.4 billion in new fees on legal immigration and tourism, plus $5.8 billion in new fees on other applications.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

They're going all-in on tent camps. The GEO Group & CoreCivic are expanding the number & capacity of their facilities, but that's not enough for Stephen Miller. On May 17, ICE initiated contracts with these 25 companies to provide “emergency detention & related services.” Source: USAspending.gov

I am going to be very clear here: The Republicans literally believe that blue states are enemy territory, and that they must cleanse America. They are budgeting for a war because they are planning to wage war against every one of us They have been saying it openly for years in private.
