“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

Imagine having the power, money and political standing to make a difference in the world. To save children’s lives. Then imagine you did that, providing medical interventions—saving lives. Now imagine someone ending it. Putting children at risk of death and harm. You don’t have to imagine— 🧵

WATCH: Sen. Chris Murphy on the intel report showing the U.S. strikes on Iran nuclear program were not as effective as Trump claimed: "We were supposed to get a briefing today. It got canceled. I think it got canceled because they are trying to figure out how to lie their way out of this mess."

We already knew that Emil Bove was unfit to serve as a federal judge. Now we see additional confirmation of that fact. How can we trust someone with such contempt of the law to be a fair arbiter of the law?

For the younger people out there, "mongoloid" is the slur which used to be used for individuals living with Down Syndrome. By the 1970s, this wildly offensive term was being phased out of our culture. And yet, here we are.

In case any Republican had any doubts or qualifications on whether the US is fighting a war against Iran, Trump is clearing that up for you today. And he just got done bombing Yemen for a month. And for 3 years they called us warmongers for supporting Ukraine.

BREAKING - A hardworking undocumented immigrant showed up to court - did everything right - and was ripped from his family on the spot. No warning. No mercy. Just gone. He paid taxes. He believed in the system. This is how we repay him. It’s disgusting.

The assassin posed as law enforcement. As we can no longer tell the difference between civilians and law enforcement thanks to the ICE, I would expect the reforms to start regarding officers having to stop hiding their faces and clearly identify themselves. That won't happen but one can dream.

We are in the midst of turning the world’s powerful military away from its focus on Russia and China towards a new enemy - the American people themselves. Trump keeps working as hard as he can to make Russia and China again.

If you want to understand why LA residents feel under attack, undercover DHS agents lying about their identity and authorizations to try to kidnap LA children seems a good start. People just do not understand the attacks LA is under by Trumpists right now.

The Republican Bill for Donald Trump's tax scam will leave nearly 11 million people without health care. It is projected to add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years and contradicts claims by the White House and Republican leaders that the bill won't worsen the national debt.
