I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools. They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

The decision by who, Mike?

Yep. Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.” apnews.com/article/soci...

'sold as slave labor to El Salvador' is I honestly think a fair way of describing it

Evergreen.

Nightmare.

"MN state Sen. Justin Eichorn allegedly arranged to meet someone he thought was a teenage girl for sex and instead was arrested by police ... One of Eichorn’s recent official acts was being among 5 Republicans who are seeking to dub 'Trump derangement syndrome' as an official mental illness"

French MP calls on US to return Statue of Liberty to France "Give us back the Statue of Liberty. We gave it to you, but you despise it. So here, at home, it will be perfectly fine," said MP Raphael Glucksmann. Wow👀

Yes, time for the old guard to move on. www.thewrap.com/cnn-compares...

The Republican sponsor of Minnesota's trans sports ban was arrested for allegedly soliciting a minor. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Joe Biden on life support would have been better than this

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

A memo has just leaked revealing that the Trump administration is planning to sabotage the Social Security Administration. Their plan would gut the agency’s claims process, potentially preventing millions of Americans from getting their earned benefits. Per @juddlegum.bsky.social:

www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

Psychotic.

Dictator shit

“‘I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days.’”

"I don't care what the judges think" should be grounds for impeachment for any public official, but especially for key actors in the national security system.

This man is out of control. It's clearly going to take a judge putting him in cuffs for him to understand even the most basic operations of the United States government. All must understand that it's not OK for an executive branch official to say this, not OK to act like this, not OK whatsoever.

As the mom of girl athletes, I know why they attack trans athletes: It’s a way to further marginalize trans girls. If the issue truly was about girl’s sports, they would first make facilities equally available to girls and fund their uniforms and coaches and buses the same as boys. They don’t.

My sister’s going through some of my mom’s papers. This is my report card from November 1971, I was five.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I remember when Schumer refused to bring the Military Justice Improvement Act to the floor. It had 66 yes votes. I never got an answer as to why. They ended up watering it down and folding it into the NDAA.

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.” Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

Every single word here is on point.

🇷🇸 Serbia: Mass protests against dictator Vucic continue into the night in Belgrade.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them. There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is 100% our future.

FYI, I know you are all upset & I’m devastated. We’ve tried to mobilize people from all over to get the Senate Dems to do what’s right. In about 15 minutes, I am planning to be disappointed. Please take out your anger, appropriately by sending letters, emails, making calls & supporting primary

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Well that's the end. No way Tesla recovers from this. Well done everyone. #Teslatakedown

Yes. The answer is yes.
