I've been defending the Democratic leaders in Congress but I am quickly coming to the opinion that any Democrat who continues to defend keeping ICE and DHS intact as necessary but redeemable agencies with changes has GOT to be challenged directly. Abolish ICE. Abolish DHS. Now.

Call your Congress Rep and let them know if you want them to help Rep Kelly.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.gov

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

🧵1 House Republicans are cracking. 12 told leadership they won’t back Trump’s MAGA Medicaid cuts. Why? Because WE made it politically toxic. They’re feeling the heat—so turn it up. Flood their phones. Blow up their inboxes. Make them regret coming for our care. tinyurl.com/Punch-Medicaid

tinyurl.comThe red lines begin: A dozen House Republicans say no to big Medicaid cutsA dozen House Republicans are warning GOP leaders that they won’t back a reconciliation package that includes massive cuts to Medicaid.

Funny how all of the Garland hate bots mobilize just at the time that the current AG is about to go completely rogue. It makes one wonder.

If only Merrick Garland hadn’t been in a four-year lackadaisical coma of fear, compliance, norms, propriety and deference…

Script to use with your representatives in Congress when you talk to or phone them this week: "My name is [], my address is [], my zip code is []. There absolutely needs to be a delegation of EVERY senator and House member to demand access to the prison in El Salvador to see and meet with /1 🧵

the Maryland citizen being detained in the prison our tax dollars are paying for. If El Salvador puts up obstacles to deny them access, then it needs to be the HIGHEST priority of every member shouted from every rooftop and plastered across ALL media until they are. No exceptions! /2

A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant. Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court. Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene. If they can do it to her, they can do it to you. Speak out now!

I guess if you tell people you're going to mass murder hundreds but then only kill about 80 then you can boast about saving all the others from being slaughtered.

A universal 10% rate, 25% rate for Mexico and Canada, and 125% for China is still an insane inflationary tax hike on the American people.

We know for certain he didn't tell the US Trade Representative as he was sitting in a House committee getting thoroughly grilled when his phone alerted him to the pause in real time.

i wonder who Trump told about his tariffs pause in advance 🤔 would've been very lucrative information to have

Wall Street keeps begging. Ackman keeps tongue bathing. Time they realize the only deliverance is Democrats and enough Republicans stripping Trump of all his (already frankly illegal) tariff powers. It’s a simple vote. Trump isn’t the one they need to beg or threaten.

Once again, this is ALL on Senate Republicans. Every single bit of it is going to stick to them forever.

The formula Trump used to decide upon tariffs made me irate. It's insane. It's pure insanity. Watch this video. Then share it. Every American needs to see this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWhv...

Perfect synopsis.

Murphy: "It's not designed as economic policy. It's designed as political policy. Because Trump gets really excited when people have to come to him, petition the king for relief. That's what he's doing with law firms, doing with universities. That may be what he's doing with businesses."

Yes everything sucks but Giants win their home opener on an amazing walk off by a hit from Willy Adames in the 11th inning bringing them to a 6-1 record! And we’re having a homemade anchovy pizza! I’m happy tonight.
