This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

i know no one cares about hypocrisy or shamelessness or anything anymore but these people really used to tell us they were scared of an armed govt being turned against americans, they made an entire career out of it

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

Two weeks ago Nutlick had us all doing robot maintenance. Last week he had us all screwing stuff into iPhones. But now we are going to be catching fish in Samoa instead. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Lutnick: "With your leadership and your policies we're gonna open all these markets and we're gonna let our fishermen thrive and prosper and we're gonna have lower cost fish, more of it, and the freshest fish in the world. And this is just common sense for the United States of America."

The numbers are in after yesterday’s tax deadline. Minnesota’s new Child Tax Credit delivered an average $2,400 back to working class families, benefiting nearly 400,000 kids. Regardless of Washington chaos, we’re still making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

Trump & Musk want to defund Social Security to create tax breaks for billionaires. They aren’t just cutting your hard-earned benefits—they're making them harder to access by eliminating staff, field offices, & phone lines. On Social Security Day of Action, we’re fighting back against these cuts.

Lutnick: "The army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones -- that kind of thing is going to come to America."

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long. Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

The most common sentence in all news stories over the past two months: “(Media outlet) has reached out to the spokesperson for (government agency), who did not respond to our questions and refused to comment.”
