Remember when they kept telling us that this administration is only concerned about β€œillegal immigrants?”

Remember how mocked we were for calling it out for the lie that it is?

This is not only unjust, it is cruel and barbaric.

Trump issued an executive order invoking a wartime law the Alien Enemies Act of 1798β€”a little-known lawβ€”would allow the government to deport without due process.

The scale of corruption being perpetrated right now is almost beyond the limits of imagination. This is just one example, almost certainly not the greatest.

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme."

Un-fucking-real.

@bera.house.gov I am very sorry to see that you supported the censure of Representative Green. Much stronger action must be taken to prevent the catastrophes that this president represents.
My daughter was excited when she got to meet you while she was in school. Now I have to tell her about this.

Uh oh. Red states are starting to feel the pain. Trump’s massive federal cuts are leaving communities high and dry. Cue the part where Republicans start to give a damn.

Trump did that πŸ‘‡

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports.

Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it.

Trump’s Pardons and Purges Revive Old Question: Who Counts as a Terrorist? The president’s sweeping clemency for Capitol rioters and his administration’s ongoing removal of career national security specialists foretell a permissive new climate for extremist movements, say…

In the past weeks, the Trump administration has purged federal law enforcement agencies of prosecutors and investigators who’d been pursuing white supremacist groups that had been listed among the most dangerous threats to national security.

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies.

She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas.

Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia.

I can't stop thinking about her. πŸ’”

Hegseth’s rough start: Pentagon chief faces protest at U.S. base abroad The question isn’t why the defense secretary faced pushback at U.S. European Command headquarters; the question is whether he’ll see more protests soon.

πŸ“ŒI was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base.

πŸ“ŒThis is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

So the FBI could surveil & then assassinate a 21 year old Civil Rights leader in 1969, but is powerless to take any steps to stop--checks notes--a 19 year old who goes by the name Big Balls from defunding and defrauding a $6 Trillion economy? Do I have that right?

Elon Musk's DOGE commission gains access to sensitive Treasury payment systems: AP sources The move by DOGE means it could have wide leeway to access important taxpayer data, among other things.

No one voted for Elon Musk.

An unelected billionaire is trying to raid the Treasury Department and take money from the American people.

This is a constitutional crisis and we choose to fight. We’re taking action to stop the Trump-Musk power grab this week. Join us: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Opinion | Don’t Believe Him (Gift Article) Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

"Trump's acting like a king because he's too weak to govern like a president. He's trying to substitute perception for reality. He's hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him." REPOST!!! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

Heather spends a lot of time on this, but to put it in fewer words: DJT was granted dictator status by the SCOTUS; he decided no laws apply to him but he’s too old and tired to take full advantage so he handed the keys to the kingdom over to the richest man in the world…
