Analogies are never perfect, but this one is instructive. If you’ll indulge me: What would you call it if a German government ordered books from Jewish authors removed for being “subversive” and “anti-German” while having no problem with white supremacist literature? Because that’s what this is.

Can we Americans still spell C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N? And why did this story break today in the Financial Times, a London newspaper?

Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Let's talk about the so-called Save Act. Don't let the name fool you. This bill doesn't SAVE anything - this is 100% a voter suppression bill. #HandsOffHerVote

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

We warned you they wouldn’t just go after the “criminals.” They have quotas to fill so scooping up the people who tried to do it right by paying taxes and filing for green cards are right there in the system. Box checked. Great chat with @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social tonight on @M at 11pm ET.

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

Louder for the people in the back: If only citizens get due process, NOBODY gets due process. Because then all they have to say is that you’re not a citizen, and you have no right to due process to prove them wrong — even if it’s a lie.

🙏🇺🇦 Zelensky: Russia attacked Ukraine with 170+ drones. This massive attack targeted the Dnipro, Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions. Russia mocks the world’s peace efforts – dragging out the war and committing these acts of terror because it still doesn’t feel real pressure.

The ACA was cool because before the ACA you could hit your lifetime maximum before you were a month old and be denied insurance for the rest of your life and after the ACA that’s illegal.

There was a reason they attacked DEI first. It's because white christian male supremacist views are core to their movement. Dems should, contrary to the advice of some reflexive compromisers among us, respond by picking up the fallen banner of equality & opportunity. We should proudly champion it.

Not going to repost the nonsensical statement that prompted this. But we are SO FAR out of “wait it out” or “let’s work with them” territory SO VERY FAR. Politics as normal doesn’t work in a universe where one side is destroying politics as normal. It’s not only pointless. It’s dangerous.

Whatever happened to "never again." Did we truly mean "never again to us?"

Unsurprisingly, the DOGE boys who are supposedly investigating fraud are actually committing fraud. Here’s their wall of receipts aka DOGE disinformation and lies.

@schumer.senate.gov I vote for @warren.senate.gov because I know she will fight for what's right for her constituents. How about you stop caving in advance because of "optics" and start fighting for us, too. #notanotherdime until you do!

How this is framed is up to the media. Why are they so determined to blame Democrats for everything?! The media could try placing the blame exactly where it deserves to be—on the Republicans—instead of always expecting the Democrats to be the adults in the room & save the Republicans.

"Sure, it's always better to suffer through an illness and the possible long-term complications rather than just get vaccinated," she said sarcastically. He's totally unqualified for the job.
