It is an insult to every person who showed up for NO KINGS, everyone who voted last Tuesday, everyone who stands up to ICE, every judge who has held the legal line, every small town person who stands up week after week in their red rural area with their signs saying β€œVote Blue”. THEY LET US DOWN!!

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Democrats held the cards β€” and folded for no reason.

Families 'Horrified' After Daycare Teacher Pulled Out Of Preschool By Armed Federal Agents The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the

Trump’s ICE goons dragged a childcare worker out of a bilingual daycare and preschool in front of children and parents.

This is who Trump claims is the β€œworst of the worst” β€” a woman who has dedicated her life to educating and caring for children.

The cruelty is the point.

Taking Dirty Donations: Rob Weissman on the Donors Behind Trump's $350 million Ballroom "You don't want The President being able to solicit money from his friends and people who want to curry favor with him."

Rob Weissman, co-president of @publiccitizen.bsky.social, breaks down Trump’s $350 million ballroom donor list β€” including names tied to foreign entities. No surprise there.

Each of these corporations has big federal contracts, is currently doing business with the Trump family, or has active antirust cases before the courts.

We’ve received a lot of questions about Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing.

Here’s how the process is supposed to work:

Erez Reuveni spent 15 years as an immigration lawyer for the DOJ.

The Trump administration fired him when he refused to defend their lies about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

Trump rants on β€œTruth Social”: β€œI can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his "talent" was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we're going to test ABC out on this. Let's see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”

After many Republicans insisted that Trump wasn’t involved in the FCC’s decision to go after Jimmy Kimmel, Trump just admitted it.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

We’re posting about this now in hopes of drawing public attention to NOAA’s Atlas 15 project which was quietly shut down by the Trump administration before it could be completed. The work was nearly finished and could still be restarted if pressure mounts.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. This manhandling removal & handcuffing of a US Senator at a public event is absolutely revolting & repugnant to American values. It’s a basic violation of civil rights.

Sen. Padilla pushed to ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie Forcibly removing a sitting US senator, as they opposed the president's immigration policy, is a part of a broader slide.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.

But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.
