Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!

White House says wrongly deported man is 'never coming back' to US. Translation: I don't care that the Supreme Court ordered me to facilitate his return, I'm ignoring court orders. This is the breaking point of democracy and the Supreme Court must weigh in immediately. Then the GOP must impeach.

Really feel like we all have to talk more explicitly and repeatedly about Stephen Miller as the actual Shadow President because that is what he is, he is almost certainly running the vast majority of day-to-day stuff and is responsible for much of the worst of it

I have three bottles of champagne set aside. One for her, one for the oligarch, and one for the dictator. And I intend to live to drink all three.

And not giving in.

When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.

NOTE: There are more people *in this frame of television* than there are transgender athletes in the State of Maine *All* of this is theater for stupid people

"You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it." - John Adams He is repenting so hard right now.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

File impeachment articles that are just direct quotes from the Declaration of Independence

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

WHAT THE F**K!

Musk fired the entire team responsible for managing the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which supports approximately 6.2 million people across the U.S.—from Maine to Texas—in paying their heating and cooling bills.

There are so many things wrong with this. This will be a 🧵.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.

I served two combat tours in Iraq as an Army Intelligence Officer. If I did what Hegseth did, I'd be in prison. All eyes should now be on FBI Director Kash Patel. Beyond pure corruption, I cannot think of a single reason for him not to launch an investigation ASAP.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

I was told I was overreacting. Now they’re about to fire 83,000 people from the VA. A third of whom are veterans themselves.

Reports are coming in that Trump-era ICE agents have arrested even American-born citizens during raids. If you’re just heading to work or the grocery store, how would you prove you’re an American? This is getting out of hand—Americans have a right to privacy.

So… the very same Republicans who said they were cutting SNAP because hunger could be “addressed by food banks”, just cut $500 MILLION in funding for… You guessed it. Food banks.

Perhaps the most concise way to think about this is that Musk has pranced around bragging about cracking down on fraud and abuse, finding the bad guys. Meanwhile what he's actually done is enable perhaps the biggest splurge of fraud and tax cheating in history. For him and his pals.

DOGE is a death panel

The author of this piece is an American photo journalist who has been embedded in El Salvador. Reading this piece is frightening and it should be. It's who we are in danger of becoming. time.com/7269604/el-s...

This is absolutely impacting us. No paper for the copier, returning to the office (but no supplies, monitors, or chairs), and no field equipment. The DOGE cuts are wasting taxpayer money, not saving it. At the same time Elon’s companies continue to get contracts. Conservation over corporations.

Every word George! Every word

Detaining families and children is cruel, full stop.

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

The Constitution doesn’t give the President the right to ignore the law. The Constitution doesn’t give the President the right to make the law. The Constitution doesn’t give the President the right to break the law. Stand up. Defend the Constitution. Don’t let the fascists win.

Today, I had a combat veteran who served as an Air Force liaison with the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Reagan Administration stop me after grocery shopping. “This indeed is not normal,” he said. We must keep speaking up and speaking out.

Apparently immigration officials now feel empowered to quite literally torture people right at Logan Airport. The factual allegations in this article are shocking. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

We have each other. We are the Resistance now. All of us.

They estimate this operation has cost the U.S. over $16M which is low because it doesn't count the photo op flights in and out by Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth. They built 1600 tents that ICE can't use because they are inhumane. My latest. Subscribe for free! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
