The psychology of I am following orders plays when they don’t see the other side. Let’s make ourselves visible! Make it impossible to 🙈 or 🙉

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.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you.

The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.

They just lie.

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

So do I.

Oh the hypocrisy.

Social Security's insolvency date is now a year earlier. Here's how it could impact your benefits. Social Security is dipping into its trust fund to pay current retirees, with spending outpacing its revenue from payroll taxes.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS.

How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share.

I’ve got a bill to get it done.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

HOLLYWOOD: Trump’s unhinged Gestapo smashes a window then tackles and arrests an American citizen for filming it, saying “I got one” and counting like they’re playing some kind of sick video game. (For money)

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident.

He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Warren, Markey call for probe into ‘escalating aggression’ by federal agents in immigration raids - The Boston Globe The Massachusetts senators called for the investigation in a letter sent Wednesday to the US Department of Homeland Security.

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer.

I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH

He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested

Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

We're about 3 lines deep into the "first they came for" poem. It's not a very long poem, folks

It’s plain for all to see.

Rolling Stone:
MAGA Senators "have largely avoided the issue. Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 Republican senators asking for comment, and didn’t receive a response from a single one of them."

We Have More Power Than Trump Wants Us To Believe — Here's What You Can Do From Marc | Here is a list of what each of us can do to stand up for democracy and defend our elections.

“Trump wants you to think opposing him is futile. It’s not. His greatest fear is free and fair elections — and that’s exactly where we have power,” @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

Here’s how you can take action:

Reporter: China is saying it's fake news that trade talks are happening.

Trump: Well, they had a meeting this morning.

Reporter: Who's they?

Trump: I can't tell you. It doesn't matter 🤡

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.

He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.

Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.

So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

This is how it’s done. At least someone understands the assignment.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony.

Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

May 1st @ dusk. Silent for now March. Everyone everywhere

We are very far over the cliff here, folks
