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.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

The way it works is that you strip fundamental rights from targets with less political support that people will turn their consciences off to justify persecuting and then eventually the state can do it to anyone, that’s always been the plan bsky.app/profile/pbum...

There is no emergency, let the tax cuts expire. Raise taxes on billionaires.

Here’s How Much Aid the United States Has Sent Ukraine Ten charts illustrate the extraordinary level of support the United States has provided Ukraine in its war against Russian invaders.

US aid to Ukraine since Feb 2022 totals $128 billion, mostly older weapons, not cash.

The crypto industry is seeking a bailout of $100 billion from the US Treasury. That is cash.

Remember that when crypto CEOs accuse anyone else of "grifting."

Trump posts that his plan for ending the war is to put Americans in Ukraine as a tripwire to deter a Russian invasion...

So, NATO?

In a world of JDs, be a Zelensky.

Love seeing how Zelenskyy's English has improved to the level of the wit and courage he's always had. "Костюм" means "suit" in Ukrainian but is also a severely sly word to drop in a room full of empty suits.

American statements in the Oval Office indistinguishable from Russian propaganda and celebrated by Russian propagandists.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Everyone in the Trump coalition voted for someone to get got. Most of them didn’t realize that they were that someone to someone else.

THERE IS NO AMERICAN CONSTITUENCY FOR AN ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA. Even the GOP hates it. It’s just that Russia, for reasons we STILL do not know, owns Trump.

Thread - I've been thinking a lot about Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion lately, especially in the context of Musk’s role in dismantling the federal workforce through DOGE. It’s a perfect example of what Lippmann warned about over a century ago.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." 

—FDR, 1936

It takes a special kind of person to believe that it is Zelensky who is the dictator, rather than Putin.

I’m thinking, maybe Americans should stop going to Russia and giving Vladimir Putin a steady stream of new hostages

This is from a 2020 presentation. Now it's just the chaos we live in, and no such description is needed.

Opinion | There Is No Going Back The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

That's because he believes he is the law now.

That's how coups work

YOU SWORE AN OATH TO US, NOT ELON GET THE TOOLKIT TO TAKE ACTION: INDIVISI.ORG/CHOOSETOFIGHT

This week, we’re asking you to plan a visit to your closest US Senate office to push senators to stand up against Trump’s lawless overreach. The ask will be slightly different if your senator is a Democrat or Republican. We put together a toolkit with everything you need: indivisi.org/choosetofight

Just spitballing, but things that could happen today:
*Court injunction protecting USAID
*Dems demand hearings on Musk's role
*Someone introduce articles of impeachment
*Dem officeholders go to USAID offices with USAID workers
*Refuse to conduct any more Senate confirmations until this is resolved

Elon Musk May Have Your Social Security Number The billionaire and his DOGE agents were reportedly granted full access to the Treasury’s federal payments system, and nobody knows to what end.

"Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."
