Senate Takes Up Trump’s Policy Bill, as G.O.P. Scrounges for Votes to Pass It

Just a reminder that the DREAM Act in 2010 had more votes to advance than the Senate had for this monster today. We shouldn’t radically changes laws by a 51 to 49 vote.

Trump's DHS is out of control! The violent treatment of Senator Alex Padilla is a stark reminder of the administration's authoritarian agenda. Trump's America is a dystopian nightmare.

Noem says they're in CA to "liberate" the city from its own elected official.

Noem said the federal gov was in California to LIBERATE the city from its own elected representatives?! WTAF. No wonder Padilla had a fucking question to ask.

Strike one? Is Chuck the blind umpire or is he watching a different game? They arrested children, citizens, mayors, and now a senator!

Kristi Noem: “Nobody knew who he was”

Literally, the first second of the video 👇

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

In a statement, Frost notes an important detail to Alex Padilla, a sitting U.S. senator, being assaulted by federal agents today:

“They did it in broad daylight. Imagine what they're doing behind closed doors to migrant men, women, and children.

“This isn’t America. This is fascism.”

What happened to Senator Padilla is horrifying. When will this administration stop with its authoritarian overreach?

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”.

This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

We Are Entering Uncharted Territory Here, Folks A U.S. senator was thrown down and handcuffed as the DHS secretary announced the "liberation" of California.

First a Mayor. Then a Congresswoman. Now a US Senator. Trump’s administration is trying to silence their opposition. Through threats & physical intimidation . It’s not American. We stand with Sen Padilla slate.com/news-and-pol...

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Don’t let them call alternative facts on this reality 👇

Opinion | This Is What Autocracy Looks Like

A spot on piece by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social for NYTs about where we are, how we got here, and what is likely to come next. The question is how the public will respond and the degree to which the Right-Wing echo chamber can manipulate perspectives on reality.

Who is responsible for this country when the president is taking personal time?

So therefore the court finds that she does not pose danger to community or present risk of flight.

THE COURT ORDERS THE GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE OZTURK FROM CUSTODY IMMEDIATELY.

"Ms. Ozturk is free to return to her home in Massachusetts."

The new US policy’s racism towards refugees could not be more clear. Trump supports white supremacy. Full stop.

We welcome white Afrikaners, but repeal safe haven status to people from Haiti, Venezuela, Cuban and Nicaragua who are already in US LEGALLY adapting to new lives. Shame on Trump & on us.

As the Musk/Trump abomination seeks to revoke SSNs from legal migrants to force self deportation, the US will lose up to $5b that undocumented pay into the system. This will have the side effect of bankrupting Social Security sooner (already expected to run out of money in 2032).

Meanwhile as stock markets collapse its still business as usual for CEO greed in health care.

Wow. Are you still on X too?

ADL has lost any credibility at this point.

Not just media- the ADL said that! What happened to the ADL whose mission is to target anti-semitism. They have lost their way
