I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

He’s going to keep saying increasingly offensive things because it earns him attention and…if he’s lucky…it will turn Americans against each other before the election so he can justify a show of force. Don’t fall for it.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

United Healthcare has been defrauding Massachusetts out of $100 million. As your AG, I'm taking them to court. Big corporations shouldn't be able to get away with stealing your tax dollars to line their pockets.

He is not defying the Democrats. He is defying the US Congress, aka the people. A president cannot legally or constitutionally spend money however he wishes to. Congress appropriated the funding. Previous presidents signed those appropriations into law. Trump is lawless. That's the story here.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

Rep. Ralph Norman, who’s in a Senate runoff with Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline, secretly urged a military-backed coup in 2021 to keep Trump in power. But the NY Times thinks it’s no big deal. In its last 92 stories mentioning Norman over 3 years and 7 months, it hasn’t stated that fact once. 1/7🧵

THREAD. Contrary to what you are being told, 40 years of polling have established that shifting money away from police/prisons toward social services is one of the most popular public policies among *all* political demographics. But it's not just that, it goes way deeper.

Implementing a universal, single-payer healthcare system would save the U.S. more than $1 trillion and some 114,000 lives every year, according to a recent Yale University preprint study

Scientists calculated how much money and lives 'Medicare for All' might save—it's a lot
The study has been touted by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders as proof of the benefits of a universal, single-payer healthcare system, but the research hasn't been peer-reviewed

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

It’s time for people to see that not only is this a make or break moment when it comes to tech fascism, but also that there is no resistance to it within the Democratic Party because they’re flushed with tech cash as much as the GOP. This is a clarifying issue and it needs recognized. Fast.

Joan Baez painted a portrait of Dr. Fauci August 2020, featuring the word "TRUST" as a tribute to his scientific truth-telling during the COVID-19 pandemic. The viral artwork became part of her Mischief Makers 2 art exhibit and sparked a lasting personal friendship between the two.

The White House wants warning signs outside the #Smithsonian because it claims Americans are being misled about their own history. So I put one where it belongs. #PoliticalCartoon #EditorialCartoon #TheWhiteHouse #Satire #DrawnAndQuartered
Editorial cartoon of the White House viewed from the front lawn. In the foreground stands a temporary warning sign with the heading “WARNING” in red. The sign reads: “THIS ADMINISTRATION cannot be trusted to tell America’s story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.” The White House stands quietly in the background behind the sign.

Labor unions don’t actually operate like 20th century labor unions anymore, they have no industrial control, they cannot urge any mass political action. They’re functionally PACs. The rank-and-file members aren’t proletarians, their consumers. That’s why you can coddle UAW, but half will vote GOP
