Demonize. Destroy. Privatize. It's all in #Project2025. All of it. It's about controlling the people and turning billionaires into trillionaires. Period.

Lived in North Park 10+ yrs. I’ve eaten, shopped, and lived alongside South Park’s small business community. Friday’s ICE raid on Buona Forchetta was a disgrace. The response, however was inspiring. The community rose up without fear. No silence or complacency. This is how we fight back. #AbolishICE

The VA saved my life. Now whistleblowers are telling me how veterans are being cut off from care. I wrote about it—and I’m heading to DC on June 6 to fight back. Join us. 🔗 onoffense.substack.com/p/veterans-c... #Unite4Vets #Best4Vets

Chris Murphy: "The entire administration is a grift from top to bottom... it appears Musk didn't get everything that he wanted in this bill to help his companies, and so he's throwing a temper tantrum... you have to understand none of this is on the level. It's a bunch of thieves stealing from us."

The DOGE-led attacks on the civil service have decimated FOIA offices, severely weakening a key tool that helps the public understand what the federal government is doing.

Even though America’s infrastructure is crumbling beneath our feet, Trump paused funding for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on Day One of his administration. Now, incredibly, he’s slapping his name on signs for jobs funded before his freeze and taking credit for progress... 1/2

A Guatemalan national who says he was wrongfully deported to Mexico is back in the United States, in what appears to mark the first time the Trump administration has brought back a migrant after a judge ordered the administration to facilitate their return.

#ResistanceUnited The dishonest GOP claims that Medicaid cuts represent "waste, fraud and abuse." But 82% of "improper payments" are due to "missing or insufficient documentation." It doesn't mean the patient was ineligible, just that the state made a clerical error. www.cbpp.org/blog/underst...

This is not an accident — If we shut the door on the best minds from around the world, we won’t just lose students — we’ll lose the future. Let’s not forget: America’s strength has always come from talent, no matter where it’s born.

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

Trump admits that tariffs will increase prices for American consumers: "Sometimes the country will eat it. Sometimes Walmart will be eat. And sometimes there will be something to pay. Something extra ... they have to take out some of their profits."

#ProudBlue I was talking with my sister this morning & she is already stressed about the tariffs. She works for a hair care distributor. Her salary is commission. Most of the products she sells come from Europe. This will kill her salary. This will impact many, not just her. Evil bastard!

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
