this is shockingly vile. versions of it will be repeated over the months to come. it will become less shocking. don't let it be. call it what it is, every single time.
the thought of disappearing immigrants to foreign gulags was just a couple of months ago beyond the pale. now it's national policy.
Visiting Arizona for a work thing. Ran six miles in 100° heat. It was brutal, but I'm glad I did it. Really puts 80° Illinois in perspective. 😊
This is the world we fight against. A world of hate, oppression, tyranny, and violence.
Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?
REPORTER: Is the president okay with this bill adding to the deficit?
LEAVITT: This bill does not add to the deficit
Legality aside, how pathetic for the American head of state to fly around in the plane he got as a valentine from the Emir of Qatar. A kept little man.
Bribery in plain sight.
We are not under invasion.
There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights.
Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

The Onion’s new model works because a) people love the thing and b) people want a physical, good newspaper back for both communal and utilitarian reasons.
Members not only get to support a thing they love, but they get a tangible, IRL good, and a community who talks about it like a fun secret.
Walter Cronkite, who was described as the most trusted man in America, once said:
“Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.”
Paramount: Stand up for a free press and our democracy. Do not capitulate to Trump's dangerous move to authoritarianism.
We hold our thumb over our shaker cup cap. That's what we do.
There's no way around it. The man is a complete idiot.
Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.
A gift to the NRA.
Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."
May the fourth be with you, Illinois.
Not a 1/4 of the man. Not an 1/8. Not 1/32. Donald Trump is hardly a man at all. And he's a president in name only.
I'm not paying more. I've spent less this year than any other, and I don't miss a thing. We can make due with less. Hell, we'd be happier with less. If our reps won't keep oligarchs in check, then everyday, working class Americans must do it ourselves.
Congratulations! To you, to Perkins, and to Democracy!
PBS President Paula Kerger is ripping into Donald Trump for attacking PBS (and NPR) with a "blatantly unlawful Executive Order, issued in the middle of the night."
Unlike cowardly corporate media networks, public broadcasters are prepared to fight for free and independent media.
And for democracy.
And there you have it.
Sigh
