I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Chicago celebrates the new Pope. Pope Leo XIV is from Chicago. There's no truth to the rumor that the cardinals in the conclave subscribed to the Chicago practice of "vote early and vote often".

The executive thinks it has authority to choose which court orders to follow. A court order carries the authority of a statute passed by the legislature. It is a law. The executive branch has now superceded the authority of both of the other supposed co-equal branches. Told you so! Does anyone care?

We definitely cannot allow our government to lie. The slope started slipping with fake WMDs in Iraq. Powell lying to the world opened the door to lying as a policy. Biden's health lies cost the Dems the opportunity to have a better shot at winning. We should used fraud statutes to go after the liars

Worst trade policy in over 100 years, worst foreign policy since 1920-30s, worst steward of our government in my lifetime. If we survive it will be in spite of everything this administration has done. Sick group of people elected by the unengaged.

Saw the market crashing and decided he needed to do something he could claim was a win for MAGA. They will spin this as success but obviously he is a slave to the market. It's the only thing that checks his power.

They are counting on the lawsuits Adam. It will take years for them to make their way to SCOTUS. We'll see if there are 5 on the bench willing to invoke the constitution and law to stop the madness. I'm not confident but it is the only hope.

Why are they deporting people with 10+ year old drug and misdemeanor convictions who have families and jobs in America? I thought they said there were millions of criminals who came here when Democrats opened the borders 🤔 Homsn mentioned 9 felons. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

People also don't realize that if they arrest 500 people a day, they'll deport fewer than 200k people...Biden deported more than that in 2024.

Over 400,000 Americans died fighting the horrors of fascism in WWII—now we have Trump henchmen mimicking a Nazi salute? It’s a disgusting insult to their sacrifice and a chilling sign of where we’re headed.

They're doing what they do best, legitimizing crazy. The Media isn't ever going to hold Trump accountable, he makes them so much money. There was a short period where media considered cancelling Trump, it's been a complete 180 since the election. Fascism is here.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

I like to think of us Northern New Englanders as being temperamentally and categorically allergic to bullshit, but Mainers have always been fine with it in their most powerful elected official. Collins is a disgraceful coward, and always has been. I would respect her far more if she spoke plainly.

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

HOW COOL IS THIS?! Scientists have discovered a new way to destroy cancer cells. By stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light, cancer cells vibrate in sync, enough to break apart their membranes! These “molecular jackhammers” DESTROYED 99% of cancer cells! 🧪🧵⬇️

No, they both want the government to be shut down. They'd really like it to be shutdown until January 20. They will blame Dems and they have the biggest firehose to do their firehose of falsehood propaganda on Twatter. Musk bought a president. Trump knows that and apparently is fine with it.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

They want the shut down. That's obviously why the 38 MAGAs voted Nay. Musk and Trump know how to do propaganda. When you want something unpopular, do it, then blame the other side. Classic Russian propaganda strategy. Firehouse of falsehood and they have the biggest hose (Twatter).

Who's surprised? They've been planning to shut down the government and try to blame the Dems from the beginning. With X they'll convince at least 40% of the people paying attention it's the Dems' fault. We've seen this move before.

They'll blame the Dems and primary the 38. Good luck. Americans who listen to Trump and Musk will obviously agree with them but farmers and seniors will blame party in power just like they blamed Biden/Harris for inflation. As long as we don't descend into autocracy will be good for Dems in the end.

Why do healthcare companies operate as for profit enterprises? Seems to me that industry, out of any, should not be about profit. Fund research, not golden parachutes.
