I don’t think enough people know that the GOP’s “Save America Act” would establish voter purge programs using data systems that experts say are unreliable. These systems reek of DOGE & thus of Elon Musk who is *heavily* promoting the Act. Thread.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

A poster with a rustic background and green leaves reads: "Finland didn’t end homelessness with magic. They just didn’t treat it like a business plan. You can still run a café. Start a band. Sell socks online. Capitalism still works in Finland. But they decided that housing people didn’t need to turn a profit. Because sometimes, the moral thing is the practical thing. And no one thrives when their neighbour is sleeping in a tent by the river. You can’t KPI your way out of a crisis. Sometimes, you just have to give a damn."

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

If a non-citizen has no right to contest their removal because the government claims that they’re in a Venezuelan gang, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *we’re* in a Venezuelan gang? That’s the most elementary reason why due process matters: www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-133-...

Bonus 133: Due Process and the Rule of Law
Too many Americans don't understand, at a basic level, *why* the Constitution requires due process when the government deprives anyone of their life, liberty, or property.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
