Pretty stark contrast between what Dems cheer for and what Republicans cheer for… wait for it…

hey I am posting this because I didn't know it, and so others might not either: but the BBB has NOT PASSED YET-- it's passed the senate & now it must pass the house.

It's time to call reps RIGHT NOW. Johnson is going to push the vote ASAP before backlash can form so the calls need to start NOW.

Republicans are really saying, “Let’s gut healthcare for working people so we can bankroll corporate yachts.”

And Trump called it beautiful.

If you voted Republican, just know—they’re not robbing you behind your back. They’re doing it right to your face.

Quickly wrote this up because it's living rent free in my head. $45 billion for detention centers, $31 billion for ICE personnel, $12 billion for CBP, the congressional GOP has shown they're not just going to passively let Trump do unpopular things, they're all in.

Um, didn't he tell us NOT to take health advice from him? 🤔

“If you haven’t been poor, don’t legislate for the poor.” - Rep Lateefah Simon, CA-12

Trump just said "I don't know" when he was asked on Meet the Press if he's required to uphold the Constitution.

You can’t “deport” a US citizen, just like you can’t “return” a book you bought to a library.

📌THIS is what America is SUPPOSED to be about.
Thank you, Senator Van Hollen.
Fuck you, Donald Trump.

Six hours ago, Sen. Chris Van Hollen boarded a flight to El Salvador, putting his safety on the line to demand justice for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
This is what leadership looks like. He’s meeting with officials, hoping to see Kilmar, & sending a message loud & clear: we won’t stop until he’s home.

Nicole Micheron, an immigration attorney in MA, received a notice from the Department of Homeland Security telling her she has to leave the U.S. in 7 days. But she’s a U.S. citizen.

They’re coming after anyone who disagrees w/ them.

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE.

This explains an until-now unresolved mystery in Mr. Abrego Garcia's case. When his lawyers in 2019 went to interview the detective who claimed a "confidential informant" accused him of being in MS-13, they found out he was suspended.

Now we know why. And it's pretty bad. The guy was a dirty cop.

It's illegal.

The point is to arrest so many people you begin to lose track of them, and to normalize it for when they start arresting journalists, dissidents, and political opposition

Sort of like his boss is breaking democracy.

Please make this stop

Headlines getting it wrong:

Supreme Court ruled Trump administration must facilitate Maryland man's return

Actual SCOTUS (much stronger) ruling:

Trump administration must "facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador"

Mistake persists in reporting today.

Trump’s pick for counterterrorism called for arresting BLM leaders as terrorists "We need to treat antifa and BLM like terrorist organizations," said Joe Kent. "We need to use the tools of the federal government, the FBI, the US Marshals—go after them like organized criminals and ...

President Zelenskyi published the names of kids, innocent victims of the russian terror attack against Kryvyi Rih residential district yesterday.

Never forgive.
Never forget.

HE DID IT. #FightLikeCory

screenshot from a news item about the cuts being undertaken in services: "Mr. Kennedy is also eliminating entire but lesser known parrts of his department, such as the Administration for Community Living, which supports programs that help older Americans and people with disabilities live independently. Advocates for disability rights say the cuts could deprive the most vulnerable Americans of housing, personal care and other services."

there aren't any words for how much I hate the people doing this. I wish every harm upon them, it is right and just to pray for such harm

Replace Chuck Schumer with Cory Booker.

That’s it.

That’s the skeet.

This is by design. Their friendship and his legacy by way of John Lewis will get him over the record.

I just tuned into the Booker live feed and after 22 hours he's speaking rapidly, passionately, furiously, and completely coherently.

By the way, last week, in impromptu remarks, Trump could not remember the word "criminal" and had to say "people of crime."

GenX core memory.

Please call @booker.senate.gov and THANK HIM!

If Trump can run for a third term, so can Barrack Obama...and Obama would just be 67 years old. Great-Granddad Trump, will be 82.

Be careful what you ask for...Donald. 😘
