Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

It looks like the only way Congress can pay for tax cuts for billionaires is to cut spending on Medicaid and Medicare. Why? It’s like the bank robber Willie Sutton said when someone asked him why he robbed banks, “That’s where the money is.” michiganadvance.com/2025/03/27/t...

New in PN: All the laws flouted during SignalGate "There’s no excuse they can come up with that will be believable, bc the truth is obvious — they recklessly defied numerous laws by discussing war plans in a Signal group. And once they got caught, they made things even worse by incessantly lying."

Wisconsin—ignore the polls & get your ass to the voting booth on Tuesday. Elon Musk is dumping millions to turn out a group that usually stays home—voters that the pollsters didn’t account for. Don’t let the richest man on Earth buy your state to serve his own interests. Show up and shut him down.👀

Folks, this is a scam. The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs. Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

McMorrow: We can no longer accept what we’ve seen at the federal level—holding a press conference in front of the Capitol, telling people you’re fighting for them, and then following up with a text message that says, “I’m fighting for you, give me $5.”

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.
