No matter what side of the aisle you are on, you should be appalled that a billionaire thinks he has the right to buy elections like this.

Trump’s new executive order is a dangerous attempt to restrict who gets a voice in our democracy, making it harder for millions to cast a ballot and be heard. Instead of voters choosing their leaders, it paves the way for MAGA extremists to decide who gets to participate in the first place.

How many people out there believe an unelected billionaire who is only willing to discuss looting Social Security on Fox News and not under oath in front of Congress? 🤔 Anyone? K, cool. Me neither. #HandsOffSocialSecurity #ThisIsAScam

Seeing Rumeysa Ozturk snatched off the street by masked thugs evoked the actions of so many tyrannies: The Basij is Iran, Mukhabarat in Egypt or Syria, Mano Blanca in Guatemala & El Salvador, FRAPH in Haiti. They're practicing on foreigners, they'll move onto citizens soon enough.

I have a message for Texas: Don’t mess with New York. Today, a court upheld New York's shield law and shut down Texas’ absurd attempt to criminalize essential medical care.

Billionaires don’t have a constitutional right to own your government. Today @khanna.house.gov and I unveiled the Abolish Super PACs Act to get money out of politics and restore democracy for, of, and by the people. We must make it harder for billionaires + corporate interests to buy our politics.

NEW: The ACLU has filed a sworn declaration from a Venezuelan woman who ICE sought to turn over to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, who declares that "I heard two US government officials talking and they said 'there is an order saying we can’t take off but we already have.'"

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

“President Trump’s goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his administration in court,” Mr. Elias said. “There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf.”

I haven't ever really spoken about this to anyone, but when I was litigating the so-called "comfort women" case, I went to the National Archives to obtain and read the testimonies of women and girls who were held in sex slave camps by the Japanese military following their release. 1/

Also think about the difference in impact here. If you make under $13k per year, losing $1000 is DEVASTATING. That’s meals you can’t eat, desperately needed medical procedures you can’t get, school supplies your children can’t afford. If you make $3+ million per year, $180k is just a third yacht.

In case you doubted that he’s a russian asset, know that VOA was instrumental in keeping the hope of freedoms alive in the Soviet Union and is hated with a passion by putin for exactly that. This is no accident.

Kidnapping an activist and jailing him in the middle of the night is a brazen act of authoritarianism. Punishing dissent by revoking legal status is a dangerous precedent to set.

ICE just DETAINED a lawful permanent resident and recent grad student in the middle of the night… because Mahmoud exercised his First Amendment rights in a way Donald Trump didn’t like. Straight up authoritarianism.

Kudos to the school administrator who wrote this letter for making it clear to families what happened and who they should blame. This is the way to build a coalition--with a shared adversary and a reason to fight.
