Trump's ICE squad is out there trying to make their quota. They've proudly touted grabbing people from their jobs. (JOBS! WORKING! PAYING TAXES!) We're hearing the stories of what's happening to these people. What's happening to the employers? They're breaking the law. What are their consequences?

It’s not what Trump posted that tells you where this is going; it’s how his people are responding to it that really tells you where this is going.

Not surprisingly, the Trump and GOP budget has nothing about no tax on tips, nothing on no tax on overtime, and nothing on no tax on social security. It does have a $4.5 trillion tax cut for billionaires however.

Each year banks & credit card companies collect billions in late fees from consumers. Biden-Harris Admin. wanted those “junk fees” down from $35 to $8. The companies sued & this Trump-appointed judge halted the law. Court-approved greedflation! http://dlvr.it/THzwBJ

Massive cuts to Medicaid that MAGA republicans are planning will force rural hospitals and clinics to close. Half of all children and 20% of adults in rural areas get their healthcare through Medicaid. And often, rural hospitals are the largest employers. Hands Off My Medicaid!!

This is false. The power of the purse is meaningless if the executive can simply disregard the appropriation of dollars is the law. There are numerous specific textual bases for this claim. But the mere logic of the document and the structure it creates makes this emphatically clear.

NEW: Donald Trump fired a bunch of veterans today while simultaneously hindering care for veterans. In a month or so, republicans in Congress will cut food stamps so these veterans won’t be able to feed themselves or their families. I wonder how many of them voted for Trump.

Elon Musk spent $300 million to get Trump elected—so he could checks notes fire middle-class Americans who make sure Veterans get healthcare. Because nothing says "populist revolution" like mass layoffs for the people actually serving those who served.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

On Monday, USAID's IG warned that Trump's agency cuts have made it harder to root out fraud and abuse — and that nearly $500M in food was about to spoil due to Trump's foreign aid freeze. On Tuesday, Trump fired him. So much for transparency.

Raskin: "Trump is suing CBS for $20b in damages because, check this out, he believes an interview with Kamala Harris produced too favorable an impression of her. That means I could sue Fox News because I think their interview with Trump produce too favorable an impression. I mean, this is lunacy."

"That is why Elon’s commission looks, sounds, and smells like a sham. Because thus far, the biggest beneficiaries aren’t working class Americans, but rather Elon Musk himself. You don’t get credit for rooting out abuse if your execution raises more questions than it answers."

6. Beware of false attacks Bondi is an election denier. Patel has an enemies list. Trump has promised retribution. When a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?
