Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

BREAKING: The US government has just removed sections 9 and 10 of Article I of the US Constitution from their website.

Note that sections 9 and 10 deal with:

- Writ of Habeas Corpus
- Congresses ability to control tariffs.

See screenshot below: Notice that 9 and 10 are gone.

Bondi said she didn’t release the pornography photos to protect the victims. I call bullshit. If she cared about the victims, she would have them testify in front of Congress like many said they would. She didn’t release them to protect the Johns.

It’s okay to be sad right now guys fuck stop telling ppl not to despair and get back to work, this is why so many ppl are in a state of apathy and dissociation cuz they don’t even have space from movement leaders to feel how they feel

Hard to fathom what ICE under Donald Trump with three times the funding can do.

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

In addition to gutting Medicaid, Trump's Billionaire Bill adds 175 BILLION TO ICE, which gives it a bigger budget than some countries' entire military budget.

What will Trump do with ICE and 10,000 "agents?"

Medicaid can be funded again, food stamps and clean energy can be funded, taxes can be increased progressively. But an immigrant prison network with no resources for due process will be very hard to dislodge, and could easily be turned against the citizenry. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.”

Genuinely, morale is way down.

The last 72 hours have been a brutal news cycle for Trump. Trump desperately needed a distraction from the party infighting and economy numbers.

He's federalized the National Guard and threatened to deploy the US Marines to deal with a few hundred protesters at two or three locations.

Imagine how weak you have to be to have to mobilize the national guard because you can’t get your people out of a California Home Depot parking lot.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the Gl Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. tel:1-877-447-4487

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

Immigrants are our greatest asset. Republicans blocked rational and humane immigration policies for decades because the problem is politically more valuable to them than a solution. Now a convicted felon who hung out with Jeffrey Epstein is criminalizing them without due process. Speak the fuck up.

Inside the battles that shattered Trump and Musk’s alliance Behind the scenes, what led up to the spectacular flame-out of the Trump-Musk relationship and public feud.

“Musk then rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage “like a rugby player,” Bannon said, and Bessent hit him back.”

Totally unserious people.
