The president’s unauthorized #IranWar costs the residents of the NY 23rd District $2 MILLION every single day it continues . No vote. No debate. No constitutional oversight where it’s needed most.

Sitting president is fundraising with threat of ICE enforcement for non-contributors
fundraising e mail message with user-circled portion asking the reader “does ICE need to come and track you down”?

If there are no consequences for illegal or unethical acts, having someone on the payroll to define whether acts are illegal or unethical is unnecessary, and therefore MAGA math considers it a “savings”

For MAGA, “don’t tread on me” means me and only me. Not my neighbor. Not the nation. Definitely not anyone brown, poor, or politically inconvenient.

The escalation of ICE raids is by design. The regime is looking for an opportunity to provoke a resistance and suspend rights broadly under a national emergency declaration. The narrative will be “deranged leftist anti-police lunatics are trying to intimidate law enforcement from doing their jobs”

Stop this republican disaster that will force tens of thousands of rural New Yorkers to seek healthcare in overstretched hospitals’ emergency rooms - with irreversible debt expansion. The Senate must act to show we still have a functioning legislative branch - which is more questionable by the day

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing. He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing. He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing. He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing. Art of the Deal.

It definitely made sense for the stable genius to start a trade war with Canada and talk about making them our 51st state right before he rolled out a grand plan for a Golden Dome missile defense system that requires the cooperation and help of Canada. Master strategist.

Early this year, I made a public plea to my NY congressman to speak for local farmers who would be harmed by prices of Canadian feed, fertilizer and farm equipment. The response from my maga “friends” (including farmers) was unanimous “you are delusional” and don’t understand the art of the deal

Every time someone quotes one of my posts and states that Missourians deserve to go hungry because the state went for Trump, remember that over 40% of the state voted for Harris. And, children don’t vote. Children are the ones who will go hungry...

Many Americans are being distracted by the vague use of the term “due process,” not constitutional rights—The 5th and 6th Amendments guarantee the right to be informed of charges, face your accuser, and defend yourself. “Due process” isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a foundation of freedom in America

He’s quoting the commodities price of gasoline - either from incompetence of his staff or willful deception (or both). Despite the obvious inaccuracy, he faces no meaningful challenge to the statement, and millions of ignorant followers accept that statement as evidence of his success.

Fiscal policy demands stability, and long-term trust, none of which exist when executive actions ignite uncertainty at home & abroad. Until the constitutional balance is restored, major fiscal shifts risk compounding chaos, not solving it. Restraint is not inaction-It is responsible governance.

Dear Congress: Your experiment in enabling an imperial presidency to disrupt global markets and undermine the full faith and credit of the United States—must end. Restore the balance of power. Act with courage and care for the American people and the world. Failure to act is a breach of duty.

The simplistic false narrative of trade deficits on their own being “bad”, is beginning to lose traction to justify continuing market disruptions. This “cheating” narrative is a pivot to another spurious, immeasurable justification for retaliatory tariffs that’s easily repeated by MAGA

No one’s defending criminals, but you don’t get to skip the law. Due process ain’t optional. You toss it for migrants today, tomorrow it’s your kid or spouse. That’s the problem, and they damn well know it. Now stop with this nonsense. Follow the rule of law defined in our constitution. PERIOD!

It is not the role of the president or vice president to decide who deserves constitutional protections. The Constitution binds them—not the other way around. When leaders claim that power, they step into tyranny.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide. That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

When the regime ultimately imposes martial law under a contrived pretext, the “roadblocks” will likely begin with complaint tech companies restricting internet access. Organizers of 1st amendment demonstrations will need to be prepared to communicate in that environment.

Sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons with vastly different legal standards, human rights protections, and conditions should raise alarms for anyone who values the Constitution. The 8th Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. That protection doesn’t end at our borders.

The president of the United States and the president of El Salvador have conspired to kidnap a man and hold him hostage in an El Salvador prison. This criminality ignores the rule of law and thumbs its nose at a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
