Trump’s Targeting of ‘Narcoterrorists’ Is a Crime in Itself Shoot first, ask questions when?

"Drug trafficking is bad. It is a crime. But it is only very rarely a capital offense. This is not drug enforcement. This is murder." ICYMI:

Hey I just got to Miami with @smith.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov because South Florida is going to be hit harder by Trump’s health care cost increases than any other part of the nation. We are here to hear stories from the people whose lives will be ruined and want us to FIGHT for them.

Drug courts typically emphasize accountability in a way other diversions don’t, forcing participants to report to a judge regularly, and to suffer the consequences when they don’t meet program standards. Why would Trump end them? www.thebulwark.com/p/drug-treat...

Donald Trump Is a Commie Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Why is it so hard for people to just say, out loud, what is obvious: Donald Trump is a socialist who is trying to make the American economy function more like Communist China?

Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social:

Trump and Republicans slashed over $1.1 trillion from Medicaid and cut healthcare tax credits that lower costs for millions of working families — all while delivering billions in tax breaks to insurance CEOs and Big Pharma. Join the fight to protect healthcare: economicsecurity.us/wp-content/u...

I'm going to keep trying to make "Trump = National Socialism" happen. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-t...

Trump announced the admin will partially fund SNAP.

Let's not forget: Americans are losing food benefits because the GOP doesn't want to negotiate a budget that saves healthcare for millions.

You work for the people! Do your damn job!

“It’s when you step back and take in the full list, with all of the extortionate details, that it becomes clear that Trump is moving toward something like China’s command economy.”

Trump's USDA is ordering grocery stores to follow a federal rule outlawing them from giving discounts to SNAP recipients whose benefits are currently frozen illegally.

So Trump's happy to finally follow the law as long as long as he can inflict pain and cruelty? Got it.

Trump and Johnson thought the Senate Democrats would cave, but because We the People got loud after the CR debacle in March, they've held the line - and republicans don't know what to do with people power.

A MIA president and a hungry America America can never be great if it can’t first be good to those who need assistance.

“The administration’s position on SNAP shows its cruelty and sends a message that no one is safe from the administration’s heartless disregard of the law.”

The Trump-Vance admin’s refusal to fund SNAP will inflict immediate harm on 42M people across our nation—forcing families to skip meals, overwhelming food pantries, and harming small businesses.

So we’re pushing back in court to protect the American people.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

He did.

Occasionally the Times just totally nails each part

By “you” I mean most MSM outlets, business leaders, voters who couldn’t be bothered to figure out the actual two sides, those looking for an excuse to vote against Harris, those performing principle by not voting, and everyone who voted for someone they know is vile and racist.

SCOOP: Trump Swaps Decorated Admiral With 33-Year-Old DOGEr The highly unorthodox personnel change affects a critical government research role.

"Elon Musk has substantial business interests before the Navy...Mark Hertling believes that the installation of Rachel Riley atop the Office of Naval Research could be part of a larger effort to reduce the vendor pool for federal contracting." www.thebulwark.com/p/scoop-trum...

Kristi Noem says “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained."

Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.

Kristi Noem is flat-out lying when she claims no U.S. citizen has been arrested in her violent crackdown. Do a web search on “immigration citizen arrested” and you’ll see. Here’s one of the many documented reports we found.

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

This seems rather bad— the Trump regime’s top officials are moving onto protected military bases.

Greg Bovino’s legacy isn’t border security. It’s deception at the taxpayer’s expense. Power built on fear, protected by lies, and paid for by the American people.

Mark Walter now officially owns the Lakers and the Dodgers.

Just remember that a subsidiary of Walter's Guggenheim Partners owns a stake in GEO, Trump's private prison and ICE detention contractor.

Walter is profiting off the surveillance, detention, and kidnapping of immigrants and US citizens.

Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained." - .

FACTS: "Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear."

Interviewer: “How long is this sustainable?”

Food Bank Director: “Wow, um, it’s not—it won’t be from the first day. For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9… It’s not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this.“

This is absolutely tragic.

The Disney Heiress, the Soybean Farmer, and Trump’s Dangerous Decisions Two views of how the president’s senseless economic and moral acts put the country at risk.

Last week, @abigaildisney.bsky.social had a simple question: What’s best for America?

And for her and our members, it's the ultra-rich like them paying their fair share of taxes.

In case no one told you this today:

A tax cut for working people, paid for by millionaires like us, would bring us one step closer to unrigging our economy.

MIT rejects Trump administration deal for priority federal funding MIT is one of the nine schools that were asked to agree to adopt conservative priorities and policies in exchange for funding perks.

MIT deserves some love for not capitulating to Trump. More of this please!

Indivisible had an organizing call with 130,000 people today

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.
