I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Popok: I don’t want to live in a country where I wake up and the president and his henchmen are sending other human beings—and they are outsourcing them for cash. Paying cash to third-world countries that don’t respect our values.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

New COVID-19 variant NB.1.8.1 is spreading, fueling surges across the globe. RFK Jr. told officials not to reveal the surge. He wants cases hidden. He’s already done serious damage to public health. Believe truth & science, not him. Get vaccinated. Share this. Please. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social to answer your question about Covid vaccines, I heard part of your interview with Olivia Troye on my way home from Walgreens. They refused to give me a Covid booster because of the new rules. I had signed up for one last week. I am furious.

Can we please stop talking about Jake Tapper now? I mean really, is there anything of value here? And I'm completely baffled by why anyone would watch @cnn.com anymore. Yes, they were the gold standard of TV news for a couple of decades, but for the last three years they've been unwatchable.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

The belief that undocumented people should face “punishment” is not at all reflected in actual US law. Being in the country without authorization is a civil, administrative matter, NOT a crime - unless you’ve already been deported and returned, and even then not always.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

The argument “young white men turn to hate because they don’t get enough empathy for the barriers they face” needs to square itself with the reality that men and women of color — and many white women — faced generations of barriers without turning to hatred in the same numbers. 1/
