There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

I was an immigration lawyer for about fifteen years. The people I met… the way they wanted to give their absolute best to this country, and then DID. Skills, ideas, beauty, culture… that’s what they bring. America is a nation of immigrants, and immigration is what made America.

"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

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

Trump planning to make it harder to go to college (unless you're rich) by cutting both Pell Grants and work study programs, all to give massive tax cuts to billionaires. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

I think nuance and respectful disagreement can be found on a lot of issues, but ICE isn't one of them. Fuck ICE. I'm rooting for their abject failure and personal misery. May the people of Los Angeles send these discount gestapo hacks packing.

You know what would cut the deficit? Taxing the rich like they used to get taxed. In 1920 the super rich paid a 73% tax rate. Rates for the 1% were cut in half in the 80s and that’s when deficit spending began.

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

If you want to now embrace Elon Musk because he has broken with Trump, let me remind you that Elon Musk is a hideous, billionaire drug addicted narcissist who helped elect Trump and espouses Nazi ideology.

Wonder what’s going to happen to Musk’s US Marshals security detail?

Elon says Trump's in the Epstein files. Trump says Musk is a junkie. GOP is like: ‘Guys, could you at least wait until AFTER we gut Medicaid?’

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Republicans love our troops so hard they have to spend D Day begging Trump not to steal their VA benefits.

He fired thousands of Veterans. Wants to gut our care. Now he’s parading Troops through DC to celebrate HIMSELF. Trump doesn’t honor service—he exploits it.

If Abrego Garcia committed a crime, he should be charged and tried. I wondered reading this headline why they didn't just do this in the first place, and then read the article to discover that they only began the investigation in April, after he was deported.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

Just remember that Trump and all his consiglieres confidently told us over and over again that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was *never* coming back to the US, to get us to demobilize, give up on politics, and internalize the idea that everything is futile.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

These two psychos have access to all your personal data, by the way.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Voter suppression and gerrymandering, they will do anything to squash Democratic votes and stay in power. We see you🧐

Hey MTG! The Big Beautiful Bill isn't a book club pick; you can't just read the first seven pages and pretend you loved it

JD is being really quiet huh

RFK Jr. wants to eliminate as many vaccines as he can. Don’t believe him when he claims otherwise and says he just wants better science and safer vaccines He’s lying. His endgame is, for all practical purposes, to eliminate access to vaccines. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Pete Hegseth is a racist and a bigot. That is not "warrior spirit" its just fucking hate. www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-ne...

No more masked ICE agents. Unmask the terrorists.

Look at this. Representative Rob Bresnahan said he would ban stock trading when he got into Congress in January. Since then, he's traded 530 times.

Must read. Like kids in a corruption candy store: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus... @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social

Trump has so paralyzed the federal agencies responsible for protecting civil servants’ rights that federal employees may now be able to win relief directly from courts instead, the 4th Circuit rules. A very good decision for the independent civil service. knightcolumbia.org/documents/9m...

I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...
