From the Cato Institute; this one is worth reading. Topline: "nonpublic data from ICE indicate that the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind." Don't let their lies dominate the narrative. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

The Senate bill wants to sell our public lands to private equities. Private equities are made to destroy and sell off piece by piece. Our lands will not last. Enjoy the fresh air while you can.

This is just wrong on so many levels Instead of preparing for possible terrorist attacks after the Trump administration bombed Iran The Department of Homeland Security is brutally beating and detaining a laborer who's the father of 3 US Marines Can we at least pause the fascism while we're at war

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

I do not believe that this a formalized gathering, yet. Rather it is an impromptu request of fellow #Utah citizens to demonstrate in opposition to #MikeLee's quest to steal our beautiful Public Lands & privatize them, on the cheap, for the wealthy & powerful. #UTpol www.reddit.com/r/SaltLakeCi...

Economists missed the mark on climate change. With almost a trillion dollars in climate-fueled disaster costs, the effects are more devastating than they could have imagined. From @ryanlcooper.com: https://trib.al/HKdQbSU

We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.

One day after claiming he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, President Donald Trump joined the war in the Middle East by dropping the biggest non-nuclear bombs in the U.S. arsenal.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Trump's decision to bomb Iran had little to do with intelligence. For years, including when he was last in office, the public U.S. intel assessment has been the same: Iran was not trying to build a nuclear weapon.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Senator Tim Kaine issued a statement condemning Trump’s unauthorized act of war against Iran. Kaine filed a resolution requiring Congress to debate and vote before sending U.S. troops into harm’s way. @kaine.senate.gov

Sen Bernie Sanders reacted in real time—fierce, unwavering, and absolutely right—calling out Trump’s unconstitutional and illegal act of war on Iran. This is a flagrant abuse of power. Every Republican enabling this lawless escalation must be hounded and held accountable.

We have to stop talking about him as if he is he is a man who has the ability to understand diplomacy or military tactics….or anything else for that matter. He is a pathological narcissist with limited cognitive functioning. No one should discuss him with any other lens.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Here's an idea. Dem Governors & Mayors should be ordering their local law enforcement to arrest any & all unidentified and masked alleged ICE agents. If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle, we'd call that a kidnapping. Why not here? 1/2

Make no mistake: whether you use Medicaid or not, you will feel the impacts of cuts to the program. The budget bill the Senate is considering right now would kick 16 MILLION people off their health insurance, & health care costs could go up by up to $485 per year for most people.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.
