The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Transportation are illegally forcing states to comply with the administration’s immigration policies or give up billions of dollars in funding for disaster relief and transportation.   I’m suing to stop this unlawful overreach.

Controversial viewpoint: I think Trump should take the plain from a middle eastern power. Makes him such a perfect target for the errant drone when it enters restricted airspace IMO 🤣

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

That’s why I wrote F*ck Around & Find Out: The 50-State Civic Uprising Manual Because protests like this don’t happen in a vacuum — they happen because people are organizing, strategizing, and refusing to stay silent This book shows you exactly how to take that energy and build lasting power (3/)

The Rayburn Building is on fire with protest. People are swarming the halls during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security can’t contain it — because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back. This isn’t chaos. This is a reckoning. (1/)

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Marc Elias said: "Trump wants us to believe he is all-powerful. He wants us to believe that opposing him is futile or worse. He wants you to accept that there’s nothing you can do to limit his ability to harm our country and our democracy. But that simply isn’t true. In trith, Trump is afraid..."

The Christofascists are doing everything they can to make white women have more babies and RKK Jr. is doing everything he can to kill them. They really should get their stories straight.

Hard agree! Hegseth needs to go! He should also take the rest of trumps incompetent, unlawful, hideous, unamerican, boot licking, idiots with him!

Secretary Hegseth’s phone number was found all over the internet. Hackers could have surveilled his phone and gotten sensitive information. It’s time for him to resign. Hope his makeup studio is going well though.

To be clear, nothing - NOTHING - Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting - even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass - that it was a real image of his knuckles

I had to upload the clip here because it's frankly insane. Possibly the most insane trump clip yet. His brain is pudding

It’s good that Terry Moran didn’t concede the “MS-13” tattoo wasn’t photoshopped — but really *agree to disagree* isn’t really good enough there. You know Trump is completely and hilariously wrong there, be ready to let him know that on the spot.

I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?

It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

COLLINS: He's wildly exaggerating how much eggs are down. They're not down 87%. If they were, people would be paying 50 cents for a dozen eggs. MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Well, the fact is they're down

Walz: Trump is the 800 pound gorilla in the room. And the debate that's happening right now, could 100 people defeat a gorilla. I'd like to find out with 100 of us to get out there and fill these lanes.

Walz: You have a situation where the Secretary of Health basically said it and was speaking with the language of eugenics, that some people just don't matter. People like Deanna's son or my son or those of you listening tonight. So look, this is a fight we must win.
