Millions of people are worried about paying their rent, feeding their kids or losing vital disability benefits. If the government cared about people's security, it would reverse cruel cuts, end child poverty and pursue an agenda for peace. Let's fund welfare, not warfare.

The MAGA regime is whining about ICE being compared to Gestapo. Then ICE should stop acting like Gestapo and should stop allowing themselves to be used by fascists as Gestapo soldiers.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Today May 15th is Peace Officers Memorial Day. Statements like this are inflammatory, disrespectful and flat out lies. Not only did you betray law enforcement, but you sided with people who attacked us. You don't support law enforcement, you are are a criminal.

This is selective & cruel bigotry at its worst from the Trump administration, shouldn’t be happening, completely unacceptable… Trump suspended the U.S. refugee settlement program in January, leaving more than 100,000 people approved for resettlement stranded. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

This is a swimming sea slug. This type of slug, called a dendronotus nudibranch, can grow nearly a foot long in the Vancouver area where this was filmed. While they're often found on the seafloor, they can also fold their bodies to drift with ocean currents 📽️Marcelo Johan Ogata bit.ly/3a8lVQP

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Even LITERAL Nazis trying to sabotage America during World War II were given 30 days' notice before being deported under the Alien Enemies Act -- so they could get lawyers and have their day in court. Trump is giving people 24 hours. Or zero.

No, you can't just remove a university's tax-exempt status because you disagree with it politically -- Trump's move on Harvard will be challenged in court. And struck down. But sure, tell me more about how right-wingers are defenders of the First Amendment.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

Judge Xinis just ordered a two-week sprint to force Trump officials under oath. Why? Because they defied a Supreme Court ruling and left a Maryland father in a foreign prison. No more stalling. No more excuses. This isn’t just a legal fight—it’s a constitutional showdown.

Rather than attended the dignified transfer of the remains of four U.S. soldiers killed on his watch, Trump will be dining with his Saudi golf buddies.

They ignored a federal court order. Deported dozens anyway. Dumped them in a foreign prison. Now the judge wants names—and Trump’s DOJ is hiding behind “privilege” and “state secrets.” Contempt hearings are on the table. And the cover-up may be worse than the crime.

This is a very important thread I encourage everyone to read and re-post. 👇🏾 Tariffs are Trump’s self-dealing power grab, they’re not about restoring domestic production or creating new jobs or making America great. They are a cudgel to weaken economic actors and shake them down.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
