Time to defund trumps brownshirts. Deport Stephen Miller and his family.

It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

Why would Trump end a program that saves you money by letting you file your taxes for free with the IRS? Maybe because TurboTax's parent company donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Call it out for what it is: corruption.

Trump reported 1,051 trades in his June disclosure. These two stood out: — June 18: Bought $250K–$500K in Boeing, the same day the Navy awarded Boeing an $880 million contract — June 23: Bought $15K–$50K in SpaceX, the same day NASA recorded a $425.6 million award to SpaceX

Trump’s 50% tariffs just landed on nearly $30 BILLION in Canadian goods — from lumber to hockey sticks. Guess who pays the tariffs? AMERICAN importers. That means higher costs for American builders, retailers and families. Trump did it anyway. Worst dealmaker ever.

We might not be in a technical recession, but people sure feel like they’re in one. Walmart may be the canary in the coal mine. Sales growth just hit its slowest pace in more than 6 years as consumers get squeezed by gas, groceries & debt. When folks start pulling back at Walmart, PAY ATTENTION.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

theguardian.comDon’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John WashingtonI’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

Rand Paul forced 85-year-old Fauci to testify before Congress…but 84-year-old McConnell has been out of view for six weeks since his hospitalization and Paul hasn’t said a word. Funny how accountability only matters when it’s politically convenient. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/Ah6CfULsHTBi...

Trump/GOP are ripping away Americans’ Medicare & Medicaid healthcare coverage & subsidies! Trump/GOP want you broke as a joke as they laugh all the way to the bank giving your subsidy money to tax breaks for billionaires! Just yesterday, Trump moved to end Medicare Part D prescription subsidies!

Lazy lying MAGA Senators should be praising the doctor who successfully guided America through a dark time in spite of the lack of leadership from Trump. MAGA Senators are a waste of good carbon atoms, and are parasites on the American people.

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

Masked thugs are rampaging through our neighborhoods & abducting people. They're ripping apart families, stealing children away from their parents & parents away from their children. Don't become numb to it. The abducted are given no rights & they can do this to anyone, even you. #ICELawlessness

Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com

A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
