"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Imagine being "America first" but allowing Qatar to build a military base on American soil in Idaho.
Guess all you need to occupy US soil is to give a plane to donald. This is the dumbest most irresponsible shit ever. This must be reversed in 2028.

Why has the media become so vulnerable to Trump, and what can we do about it? Even after Disney's reversal on Jimmy Kimmel, the vulnerability remains — unless we change the rules.

And yes, they're trying to intimidate us but Pritzker's right -- everyone needs to be out in numbers at these events.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

Fuck this.

This is nothing but red meat for Trump’s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. There’s no disputing this.

Agree. Agree. Agree.

The shutdown isn’t just about healthcare - it’s also about Congress reining in the president. We’re going to have a fight, so let’s have it now.

American taxpayers are paying people to post Bible verses on a US government account.

Whoomp!...There it is!!!......

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens.

Few understand this.

If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

ICE is terrorizing communities.

This is your reminder that the Trump admin committed murder again this week, killing four people on a boat allegedly smuggling drugs. Do you trust anything you are told that comes from this WH? Of course you don’t.

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Our dementia-addled President In Name Only hacks it up on the golf course again this weekend while rage-boy Gestapo Miller seethes and plots the 4th Reich.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

One of the two ICE officers stepped aside to watch the reunion. He grew visibly emotional and wished Mr. Lopez Benitez good luck in Spanish. “This is the good part of the job,” the officer said, before walking away.

I honestly can’t believe this is the way these writers chose to end this story. I’ve been in these courts and watched ICE in action. These people enjoy tearing families apart. They have said it in front of my face. Fuck the New York Times for purposely obscuring the truth, again.

Here’s an idea for a reporter:

Gather some retired cops or MPs together and show them how ICE handles hecklers and protesters.

I guarantee you’ll get some amazing copy. Especially if your outlet lets you reprint profanity.

Genuinely incredible how unprofessional these guys are. One dude yelling in your face and you immediately assault them on camera?
