Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified. I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war. And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump. My statement:

The GENIUS Act has a major loophole allowing Big Tech companies and major retailers to issue their own private currencies structured as stablecoins. This bill shouldn't pass without amendments preventing these risks.

This wasn’t fiction. It happened here. In America. And just like in the galaxy far, far away, the message was clear: dissent will be punished, questions are dangerous, and power answers only to itself. But here’s the thing about Empires, people rise. Oppression breeds rebellion.

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

The court just confirmed what we all know: The military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets. End the unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles now, Donald Trump. Refusing to do so will only confirm your authoritarian tendencies. The country is watching.

Republicans are jamming through the GENIUS Act which will turbocharge Donald Trump’s crypto corruption. We need an amendment vote to stop the President, Vice President, and senior government officials from directly or indirectly profiting from a stablecoin venture.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

Chaotic Good folks, this (first image) was shared by a family member, and I just confirmed it on the government site (second image). Link to second image government site in my comments, which links to the mention portal. You all know what to do.

Info page about a “Snitch Form” that is alarming.

Actual screenshot of government HHS site confirming said online portal. “Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published new guidance and launched a new online portal where whistleblowers can submit a tip or complaint regarding the chemical and surgical mutilation of children to the HHS Office of Inspector General.”

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

If every Senate Democrat said, "we won't let Musk and Trump do what they're doing to famers, to social security, to cancer research and to every American's health without a hell of a fight" and just repeated that, they'd be shocked by how much of America would be on their side.

What has DOGE done? - Fired the people tasked with keeping Americans safe from the bird flu. - Gutted the IRS workforce during filing season. - Fired the FAA workers who make sure it’s safe for us to fly in planes. Does that sound like efficiency to you?

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million. A thread about 18F:
