If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

The Atlantic and @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social are committing journalism today. They have a vetted mega-scoop. They handled it responsibly. The WH and Admin lied about it. The Atlantic called their bluff. The material released just now is even more damning for the Trump team.

The Sunday shows are keeping it real—Schumer gave away the game for nothing. Jen Psaki lays out what he could have done. He played this wrong on every level. And with a Social Security, Medicare, and a tax cut fight coming, do you really want @schumer.senate.gov leading the fight?!

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

When every Democrat and Independent is condemning your poor judgement, and the fascist in the White House is praising your poor judgement, you deserve to be fired from your job as Senate leader and be forced out of the Senate altogether. An absolute joke of a politician. Reckless & feckless.

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

📌Everything changed Nov. 5th, but sadly very little has changed in the Democratic Party. 📌This country will never be the same. The sooner we start acting like it the better. 📌What would you do if everything you had and everyone you loved was threatened? Would you act like Zelenskyy or Schumer?

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
