Phang: Good for Pritzker, good for Hochul, good for Newsom—good for these other Democratic governors who are saying, “You know what? F off.” We’re not going to let people in these other states—people who are under attack and trying to do the right thing for their constituents—go without support

Hassett went on TV and claimed you can’t trust the economic data anymore because all the recent revisions are partisan. A bald-faced lie. Every serious economist still in this administration should resign. They are actively underminding the US economy by lending their credibility to this horse****

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended.

A businessman should know this is impossible in the real world. A 100 percent cut would make an item free. You can’t cut more than that.

The situation at the immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” has gotten so bad that detainees have been on a hunger strike for over ten straight days.

They’re refusing to eat to protest the inhumane conditions inside the facility conditions that include filthy living spaces, lack of medical care, overcrowding, and mistreatment by staff. We’ve posted about these issues before, and so have many others.

There are no checks on the king now. It is what it is. A dictatorship.

Trump is levying more taxes on US consumers than any president in US history. And he has built a massive propaganda machine to explain to people that he's not dong what he's actually doing. www.ft.com/content/50f8...

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course? Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

note that this isn't a denial and ICE is kidnapping and disappearing people

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵

Noticing a theme here.

I’m thrilled the Venezuelan immigrants were freed from CECOT and the Americans will be coming home But do Trump officials ever hear themselves “Marco Rubio said..the US citizens [were] jailed in Venezuela ‘without proper due process’ and called for the ‘restoration of democracy in Venezuela’” Wow

Sayfollah Musallet should be alive today. Instead, he was beaten to death in the West Bank by Israeli settlers, the second American killed there this year. The State Department must lead an immediate investigation and root out settler violence once and for all. There must be accountability.

The U.S. Ambassador to Israel has demanded the country “aggressively investigate” the killing of an American citizen who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers while visiting relatives in the occupied West Bank, calling it a “criminal and terrorist act.”

The brutal killing of Palestinian American citizen Sayfollah Musallet while visiting family in the West Bank is a tragedy, and one that deserves a full investigation, answers, and accountability. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

Justice Connection sent a letter signed by 900+ former DOJ attorneys urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to rigorously examine Emil Bove’s assault on the department and rule of law before voting on a lifetime judicial appointment. Our full letter: bit.ly/3Ul58Ac

ICE is now routinely renditioning people to third countries where there have no ties and often that country just sends them to the original home country where we know they will face persecution or torture. In violation of our laws and international treaties. Now apparently sanctioned by SCOTUS.[6/6]

From a friend who is an immigration attorney: My client was told he was going to Krome on Tuesday and then he disappeared in the system. I got a call from him today that he's at the camp in the Everglades and the story about the transfer is horrific. [cont.]

thinking about the dems who said we can't abolish ICE as the Department of Education gets wiped off the map

Where are the children being held? 🚨 Children, handcuffed and chained, being moved out of the LA Federal Building. July 10 - ICE & CBP raided two Glass House Farms sites in Camarillo and Carpinteria. Up to 319 undocumented workers arrested. At least 10 migrant kids were found. The youngest was 14.

Still waiting on a MSM take where right wingers are encouraged to relate more to progressives, not vice versa. I’ve been waiting a long time for that.

That there’s a police state.

This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.” I have some thoughts.🧵

To summarize: DHS has killed an innocent man.

Hearing from UFW spokesperson just now that this man has died.

Here is a list of reported conditions at the Florida Everglades immigration “camp”. These reports come directly from detainees and their loved ones.

“If ICE was a military, it would have the 16th biggest budget in the world. You wanna talk about America First? Think about all the things we could do in this country, like giving a [hurricane] warning system to these folks in rural Texas, instead of plucking brown people out of their homes.”

Already a sustaining member for two separate NPR stations, but I'll be making another donation just to spite that idiot.

ICE tasered a man at a Walmart in NM! His screams are heartbreaking! Has Walmart acknowledged this unconscionable act in their store? And why was the woman recording this video asked to leave but not the masked attackers in Aisle H26?!

"ICE agent says 71 year old woman pushed him" Meanwhile the first sentences of the Atlantic article Chris just reposted, ... [President Donald Trump] praises the bravery and fortitude of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers—“the toughest people you’ll ever meet,” he says

The Republicans chanting, “USA, USA,” as they take a sledgehammer to the country on the day before the Fourth of July.

the president just opened a concentration camp

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens. Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important". Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary. substack.com/redirect/169...

Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?

I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

SCOTUS cut the binding thread, Birthright shaken, justice shed. Nationwide protections fall, States now answer to the call. Unjust laws and divided land, Freedom slips beyond command.

federal agents at Dodger Stadium.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.
