So Trump has $40 billion for Argentina but there’s no money for hungry Americans?

Hey @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn who is ok with people going hungry again? How’s that paid vacation going?

What we’re witnessing in this country is textbook authoritarianism.

Trump thrives on targeting those who are least able to defend themselves, exerting control and cruelty to tighten his grip on power.

To think it ends here is naive. We cannot let this go on any further.

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference.

This is what rising fascism looks like.

Trump revoked Biden's executive order cracking down on anti-competitive corporate practices.

This gives Big Tech, Ag, Pharma, and airline monopolies even more power to price-gouge and rip you off.

CEOs have been kissing Trump's ring — look at what they're getting in return.

Name 'em.

The cases of alleged abuse of children include a 10yo U.S. citizen who was recovering from brain surgery while being detained with her family

She was reportedly denied access to necessary follow-up care and faces continued brain swelling and speech and mobility difficulties, the Ossoff report says

UPDATE: Alligator Alcatraz “can continue to operate and hold detainees for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but workers will be barred from adding any new filling, paving or infrastructure for the next 14 days” per U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Williams.

NEW: Florida has filed its response, saying all people held at the Everglades detention camp are being held under a 287(g) agreement with ICE — but the documents they filed in court DO NOT include any such agreement with the Florida Division of Emergency Management, which is operating the facility.

This is right, but true of everything Trump. The belief in election integrity was set on fire to help Trump wish away his loss. Public health was set on fire to help Trump try to wish away covid. At a core level, it’s his brand, and his enablers always say it’s okay to humor him.

A reminder that tariffs only work by raising prices.

It’s officially happening: Trump is using the machinery of criminal justice to pursue manufactured charges against political predecessors.

It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous this moment is—it's the stuff of strongmen and collapsing democracies.

Well, I’m gonna insist that you listen to this.

Definition of terms:

“these people” = Latino migrants

“Inner city people” = Black people

“We tried to get them [inner city people] to do it” = slavery & sharecropping

Social Security was founded on a promise that everyone can retire with dignity after a lifetime of hard work, that no American will grow poor in retirement.

Privatizing Social Security breaks that promise and blatantly betrays millions of Americans.

U.S. Jobs Report Falls Flat With Only 73,000 Added in July Massive downward revisions to prior months and a rising unemployment rate paint a troubling picture—healthcare drove most of July’s limited gains

NEWS: The U.S. added just 73,000 jobs in July—far below expectations—while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%. May and June payrolls were revised down by a collective 258K, painting a trouble picture for the economy.

UPDATE: @SenatorHagerty and the Republicans just voted to let Trump take the Qatari jet with him when he leaves office.

Insane corruption. There is no bottom.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.

We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

‘1984’ is upon us

Epstein grand jury transcripts include testimony from only two witnesses, feds say The disclosure raises questions whether the Justice Department’s attempts to unseal the transcripts will satiate the appetite for more information.

There were only two witnesses in the Epstein grand jury; further confirmation that AG Bondi asking for transcript release is nothing but a smoke screen: wapo.st/3GPfVjn

The Secretary of the Interior hasn’t heard about batteries.

NEW: I spoke with a woman named Andrea about her experience being detained by ICE after calling the cops for help during a domestic violence incident.

She was recently postpartum, breastfeeding & put in an all-male facility. She was detained for 2.5 months.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

The 👏 president 👏 has 👏 neither 👏 statutory 👏 nor 👏 constitutional 👏 authority 👏 to 👏 unilaterally 👏 negotiate 👏 “trade deals”

Olympic level cognitive dissonance.

It’s insane that we live in a country where folks can walk around in the street with an AR-15.

Another clear example of how reckless cuts at the State Department will severely affect the U.S. on the world stage.

I agree with Rep. Jayapal — this is breathtaking incompetence by the Trump team.

The NYPD officer killed by the active shooter was an immigrant from Bangladesh. He had 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. The US State Dept travel advisory for Bangladesh is level 3; “Reconsider Travel” for violence, crime and terrorism. He died here, for us, shot with a Colt M4 rifle. Think about that.
