If you live in PAโ€ฆ. Call him today!

Sen Fetterman PA is funding ICE executions. He's the ONLY Dem breaking ranks as agents kill Americans in Minneapolis.

Tell @fetterman.senate.gov

To Senate Dems: Don't let his cowardice be our weakness.
Hold the damn line.

If you have not yet read @adamserwer.bsky.social on Minnesotans' heroics, you are going to feel way better when you do. He went there. He talked to the people doing the work. Then he thought about it and produced something rare. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... [gift link]

Exclusive: Hegseth boosts Minneapolis immigration siege, approving use of military base In an email obtained by the Chronicle, U.S. Customs and Border Protection asked for use of Fort Snelling to house federal immigration agents, weapons, vehicles and aircraft.

Heโ€™s full of shit- Hegseth just authorized the use of Ft Snelling as a staging site for CBP up to 800 individual agents and up to 500 vehicles and they need a magazine for weapons storage- this is ramping up and Homan is full of shit www.sfchronicle.com/us-world/art...

I would just add that in Europe we have lived through the entire cycle of fascism and the trail of blood and destruction it leaves in its wake. We know its methods and excuses, and what we see and read about the USA reveals a very advanced stage in the establishment of a fascist dictatorship.

Donald Trump Is Frightened Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesnโ€™t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

โ€œAn administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these โ€œde-escalatory measuresโ€ are about placating Senate Democrats so they donโ€™t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.โ€

One of the wild things about the pushback on abolishing ICE is that the Trump administration basically abolished the Department of Education and we should be educating our kids not abducting them.

The situation in Minnesota is so bad theyโ€™d rather talk about Epstein.

How SCOTUS shapes economic rights for the little guy with Robert Reich
My testimony at John Robertsโ€™ confirmation hearing. How SCOTUS shapes economic rights for the little guy with Robert Reich

Chief Justice John Roberts turns 71 today.

Two decades ago, I warned the Senate that confirming Roberts to the Supreme Court would be a disaster for working people.

I'm sad to say I was proven right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir5kmPdRJLw

A reminder to the news media: โ€œconflicting accountsโ€ is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE.

We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't thereโ€”yet.

It is long past the time for a national general strike. 'This is not a government by consent of the governed. It is oppression.

So two innocents murdered so that Trump can try to steal the 2026 election and avoid impeachment and removal.

Yes, impeach and remove Trump now. But more realistically, every GOP senator and congressman should immediately demand a 30-day pause on all overt ICE actions. No immigration offense is worth a single American death. Congress is 100% to blame for not holding this administration accountable.

The current Occupant of the White House will be remembered as the deranged and demented lunatic who blew up the world order to avoid releasing the EPSTEIN files.

Baby steps for your Republican members of Congress.

Ask them to censure President Trump for insulting our NATO allies and their service members that died fighting our enemies.

Here is an example of how to do it.

It is only symbolic...but that's the point. If Republicans can't do this then...
