Watch as this Missouri State Capitol security guard shoves a woman as he barges through to grab banners from advocates with @abortionaction.bsky.social. This was as security removed them all from the gallery. Moments later, I was removed as well. Whose house?? #moleg

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

They have no problem sending SWAT into schools to grab migrant kids, but when it’s an active shooter they use those children as human shields.

Whew! Sen Chuck Grassley’s town hall should be a wake-up call for Trump & Republicans. Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it. This is Iowa!

We live in a backwards society where MAGA extremists can name anyone and everyone they don’t like as a terrorist - without evidence or process - But if we call INSURRECTIONISTS traitors & threats to democracy - /we/ are alarmist and condescending to voters. Thems the brakes, but it’s still wild.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

"In the history of state terror, the escape from law into coercion takes three forms, all of which were on display, incipiently, in the White House yesterday: the leader principle, the state of exception, and the zone of statelessness." youtu.be/w1TGlDB5uB0?...

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

Trump just signed an executive order on drug prices, handing a win to Big Pharma. He's directing Congress to delay Medicare drug price negotiation for pill-based drugs by four years. Pharma lobbied for the change after Medicare was allowed to negotiate drug prices under Biden.

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell must be so embarrassed they never thought of gutting Social Security by inventing a fake government department with no oversight or accountability and having it chainsaw the entire system.
