Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I know there's a lot going on right now but, uh, I hope nobody is too attached to the US Aid To Navigation buoy system. Apparently Coast Guard buoy tenders are being sent to the border, where they have no training or equipment to help that mission. Remember this when ships start running around!

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

The people being sent to El Salvador are concentration camp victims. The President of America is sending people to concentration camps. I hope everyone internalizes the devastating truth of this matter. The red line is nonexistent. They can do whatever they want to us. #MomSky

Abrego-Garcia’s lawyers have asked for expedited discovery from US officials with knowledge of the terms of any deal with El Salvador and of A-G’s whereabouts. Expect Judge Xinis to grant it over howling objection, and for 4th Cir to deny US emergency appeal.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

The attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Trump and his White House have publicly mused about sending Americans to El Salvador. Those conversations are happening behind the scenes, too, sources say — and revolve around plans to denaturalize U.S. citizens.
