Now we’re arresting 80 year old veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military vanity birthday parade on Capitol Hill.

‪@nytpitchbot.bsky.social‬ Maybe they've been saving this for a slow news day?

The caning of Charles Sumner by a southern Congressman captured attention in 1856 because it distilled views of slavery and the sectional conflict. In the eyes of slavery's defenders, Sumner's assailant vindicated the honor of the South and its politicians.

We feed you. They hunt us.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

This is a consistent theme since yesterday from people on the ground in Paramount. Yes, there are crowds, there are protesters. But they are PEACEFUL. ICE began firing tear gas, flash bangs and smoke bombs once they saw people who happened to be there start filming.

A truly sad sight. Trump’s America. 🇺🇸

No better testimonial than this one on how federal job cuts put lives at risk.

This, this is the kind of leader we need.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

The 2024 Data Don't Lie: The only issue voters can clearly associate with the modern D Party is support for gay rights. That's it. Voters are 50/50 on which party is on SS and Medicare. Yes, really. That's why we need to leave pound them on the economy and critical programs like Medicaid.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

The vast majority of people in Gaza — 93 percent — are facing crisis levels of food insecurity, and Sen. Chris Van Hollen said that the United States is “complicit” in their hunger.

If you pay attention to just one thing tonight, make it this

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

IN EL SALVADOR: Senator Van Hollen says Trump is in violation of court orders — and is paying El Salvador to imprison an innocent man. (And #KilmarÁbregoGarcía is not the only one)

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia needs to be brought home NOW. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

This!

Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that if you fail to remember the past, you are doomed to repeat the Great Depression. And then you cannot blame it on President Biden, you loopy orange dipshit.

Americans, watch and learn.

I try not to post his face or voice but this video by @thedailyshow.com is pretty good

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

Times are tough and they will be for a while. But during this time, look for the helpers. We’re here.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Remember: no mandate, no majority. 37.75% of the electorate didn't vote; 31.5% voted for him; 30.6% voted for her.

Why is the media like this?

JUST IN: The U.S. added 256,000 jobs in December, surpassing expectations and bringing the total for 2024 to 2.2 million. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, and wages grew 3.9% over the past year, far outpacing inflation.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.
