People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

The fact that the Trump/Musk DOJ — without due process & in defiance of federal courts — snatches people up, puts them on planes, and deports them to an authoritarian country where those people will be forced into slave labor in an inhumane prison should be a much bigger story.

I’m watching my retirement evaporate and Donald Trump is doing Tesla commercials for his buddy at the White House. If only Donald Trump cared about the finances of common American citizens.

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "Any Senator who votes for the GOP partisan 'funding' bill is voting to give Elon Musk the power to gut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. This is not about funding the government: Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Rosa DeLauro have a one-month clean CR to keep the gov open."

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social n react: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6_m...

This whole thing was a deliberate set-up, and the real audience for it was not the American people. It was the global fascist movement.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

now would be a good time for liberals to make a massive investment in progressive media. decades of relying on the ny times/wapo/ap/cnn has been a failure and they're now more right-wing than ever. everything is turning into a miniature fox news and liberals dont want to put money into this.

Mob boss foreign policy is a disgrace. But here’s the thing, Trump won’t honor the deal and will sell out Ukraine again and again. He is working to advance Russia’s agenda. Stop treating him like past US presidents. Taking this deal is a sucker move.

There was almost a catastrophic airplane crash just this morning at Midway Airport in Chicago. Well done on choosing a convicted felon reality star who appointed another tv reality star who fired over 400 FAA employees just this week alone after gutting FAA leadership.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Not enough people in Congress know what it's like to have calluses on their hands or to put in a real day’s work. That’s why I am running for Congress -- to put in the work and get things done for the North Country.
