Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Folks, no need to worry, the Senate is ON IT, working tirelessly to pass a bill that <checks notes> forces the FDIC to prioritize cryptocurrency ahead of actual deposits in the event of a bank failure.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention? It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country. A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.

Law enforcement is violently targeting press at protests around Los Angeles, from easily recognizable "mainstream" outlets to freelancers and independents. ALL press have explicit legal protections in California. #JournalismIsNotACrime. This evidence thread may get graphic. 🧵👇

The Farmers missed a whole lot but they saw this one coming. What they didn't expect was that both Congress and the Supreme Court would have majorities of sniveling ignoramuses who hate the majority of American people and who want the idea of America to fail.

I'm filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration to end the illegal takeover of a CalGuard unit, which has escalated chaos and violence in LA. Donald Trump's violation of the U.S. Constitution is an overstep of his authority. We will not let this stand.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

As a Marine once stationed at 29 Palms, I can’t imagine being sent to do this in an American city. I figured we would be here if there was a second Trump admin, but I didn’t think it would be this soon. Sadly, it’s only going to get worse.

It’s time to be petty. Call out every invertebrate crying for violence against protesters. Humiliate them with their fear and capitulation to authoritarianism.

Don’t report that it cut spending until you know it cut spending. Remember facts like - all foreign aid is less than 1% of the government budget. So cutting programs to feed starving children may kill children, but it doesn’t ameliorate the deficit. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

Under the bill passed by the House, those in the US earning LESS than $17,000 will LOSE $1,000 a year, the top 0.1 per cent of taxpayers will gain nearly $400,000 a year. How sick is that? And 8.6 million people will lose their Medicaid coverage. This is like a death sentence for many.

Here’s the plan: 1. Win the midterms. 2. Impeach Trump. 3. After due process, imprison Trump alone in Alcatraz. 4. Livestream the demise of his shriveled, evil heart on PBS. 5. Dump him at the bottom of the ocean to join fellow terrorist Bin Laden.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

@housebudgetdems.bsky.social are united in rejecting the Republican betrayal. There's no spinning it — this bill provides the biggest tax cut for billionaires in American history paid for by adding trillions to the debt and throwing 13.7 million Americans off their health care.
