Nothing he said last night matters. He took the strongest post-Covid economy in the entire industrialized world and singlehandedly fucked it up. He put lawless, masked federal thugs on our streets to terrorize immigrants & citizens. Nothing he said last night matters.

Exactly @mimirocah1.bsky.social !

Donald Trump told Congress that voting was a privilege. My life's work is defending voting as a fundamental right.

Sit with that headline for a minute

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

This is bigotry, pure and simple.

One big problem with Trumps “retirement plan.” They will match up to 1000 per year… but now companies can dump their employees off the company plan which matches way more…. Onto the govt plan.

It’s a corporate handout… again

One reason historians and political scientists are so weirded out by this moment is that Congress -- whose leaders have long fiercely defended their own power and prestige, even against presidents of their own party -- is now led by Republicans who have completely neutered themselves.

This has nothing to do with fraud.

The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

Jim Jordan's new thing, which has done at least four separate times on cable news since yesterday, is calling things that he likes "apple pie." He does it three times in this 30 second clip.

Maurene Comey Joins New York City Law Firm

Proud of Maurene & the law firm that hired her (which shouldn’t take courage but in today’s world it dos). She is a star and they are lucky to have her!

I’m sure if Joe Biden had called white Americans “pirates” who had “ransacked” Alabama, the NYT would write that he “put on a show” 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Don’t let the media tell you this dumpster fire is normal Major news outlets under-react to stay out of Trump’s crosshairs

Masked federal agents are executing people in the streets, and Trump is preparing to attack Iran ... so why are some members of the media still trying to act like everything is normal? Former metro editor of the Chicago Tribune, @markjacob.bsky.social, takes a look in Stop the Presses.

Trump's "Justice" Department views the Epstein victims as threats to the regime's power. It's obvious why.

Trump and Congressional Republicans are Trying to Suppress the Vote | Indivisible The original “Silencing Americans Act” H.R. 22, would require every voter to show proof of citizenship, like a passport or original birth certificate, when registering to vote in federal elections. Be...

You didn’t have to listen to Trump’s rambling speech last night to know that Republicans are trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote—especially married women.

They’ve already made it clear.

Daylin and her family, now full U.S. citizens, consider themselves conservative, Christian voters — but she’s rethinking her choice in this last election. “We voted for this guy. We all voted, every single one of us,” Daylin said. “But we never expected something like this to happen. It’s just inhumane. It’s inhumane, and it’s wrong. And I think most people who voted for him did not expect this, and a lot of them don’t even know this is happening.” Rolando was detained during the first Trump administration, but ultimately released. Daylin said that’s because their family are considered political exiles for fleeing during the Cuban Communist Revolution, and Cuba won’t accept them back. This time around was different. On Feb. 7, Rolando was deported to Mexico. “We’ve never been to Mexico. We know no one in Mexico. We’re not Mexican,” Daylin said. “It’s just very, very upsetting. It’s terrible.”

Oh, they "expected something like this to happen," just not to them.

If you don't want "inhumane" things to happen to your family, maybe don't vote for the people promising to do inhumane things to anybody.

ICE’s Warehouse Purchases Herald New Model for Immigration Detention - American Immigration Council ICE is purchasing commercial warehouses and retrofitting them into a national network of immigration detention centers.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: In October, Trump began funneling OBBBA detention funding through the Navy’s procurement system, Supply Systems Command. The use of SSC allows the federal government to essentially bypass the normal bidding process involved in most federal contracting.

Hegseth warns Anthropic to let the military use the company’s AI tech as it sees fit, AP sources say Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pressuring Anthropic to give the military broader access to its artificial intelligence technology or lose its Pentagon contract.

This is a very big story.

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009.

The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time.

Here’s the truth: Trump made the largest cut to Medicaid in history and ripped health care away from millions of Americans to gave tax cuts to billionaires.

He’s not helping working families. He’s Robin Hood in reverse.

Mothers and the disappeared Pregnant child detainees are sent to Texas, as harm crosses generations.

I wrote about the US funneling pregnant children in immigrant detention to a Texas facility where their rights can be more effectively restricted. I hear echoes of disappeared parents and kidnapped children in Argentina decades ago. In each case, the intent is to inflict deep generational trauma.

New Polls Show People Ain't Buying What Trump Is Selling, Loss Of Tariff Revenue = Big Problem For GOP, DHS Whistleblower:"They Lied" Honoring Ukraine's extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and success

In this new piece I argue that Dems should be fighting to claw back the extra ICE funding as a way of offsetting the loss of trillions of dollars of tariff revenue. 3/

Great reporting here from @gregsargent.bsky.social on the escalating danger of what ICE has become. 1/

Trump brags about abruptly kicking 2.5 million people off the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; no alternative programs or social aid were provided, meaning he pushed millions into food insecurity nationwide.

"we have lifted 2.4 million Americans a record off of food stamps" #SOTU

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

As @JustinWolfers points out — when Trump boasts about the market being up he fails to mention other markets around the world are up way higher in the same period of time 🤷🏼
