It is clear that some of us understand the present danger & some don’t! I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.

Soon to be Trillionaire Elon Musk seeks to cut $1 to $2 trillion in spending — including medicaid and Social Security — to pay for tax breaks for the rich. Donald who?

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

President Trump has signed 9* separate executive orders that herald sweeping changes to the immigration system and to communities inside the US. We broke down: - What they do - What's happened already - What's to come - What this all means. Follow with me for a thread on what you need to know 🧵
This analysis is by no means an exhaustive list of the changes made by the “Day One” executive orders, much less a breakdown of the legal arguments contained within them. Because so much depends on implementation, it is possible that provisions excluded from this analysis may turn out to be enormously influential—and that some provisions we highlight may not do much other than impose confusion and fear. However, this analysis represents our best effort to synthesize the executive actions into an agenda of proposed and accomplished changes, and to point out some future developments to watch for as these texts are turned into reality for immigrants and all Americans.

Also, MULTIPLE COURTS have already determined that the policies in many sanctuary jurisdictions are lawful. There is already established precedent on this! But again, the goal of these threats is not to produce wins in court, it's pure thuggery. With the name of the DOJ behind.

FACT: If the House Ethics report exonerated Matt Gaetz, it would have been released by Republicans long ago. FACT: So the public is entitled to draw a negative/adverse legal inference from such withholding of the document. FACT: Therefore, it can be evidence of Matt Gaetz's guilt.

Twitter amplifying UNPOPULAR views that help billionaires, and then suppressing POPULAR views that help the masses is quite literally psychological terrorism that disenfranchises us all. This is how the class war operates. It's cold, it's calculated, and it affects millions of us in harmful ways.

Hilarious. Trump spent an entire year gas-lighting MAGA base that "other countries" pay the tariffs. MAGA swallowed it whole. NOW, businesses such as Walmart & others are having to put out a pre-emptive PR education posts trying convince MAGA that THEY will be paying the increased costs. Too late!

CNN's Dana Bash says she doesn't know "what side of the aisle" the neo-Nazis who marched in Columbus this weekend were on. Maybe this undated photo of Anthony Altick, founder of the neo-Nazi group in question, will help her figure it out.
Photograph shows a white man from the shoulders up. He has a light brown patchy beard and is wearing a backwards black ballcap and black T-shirt. Behind him are a crowd of people facing away from him and looking towards a stage. On the stage are two unidentified white men with grey hair and wearing dark slacks and white shirts. Also on stage is former President Donald Trump wearing a dark blue suit, white shirt and red tie. The setting appears to be inside of an area. The off-white metal ceiling and light fixtures can be seen at the top of the photo.
