Trump wants to use the Navy to build $10B worth of migrant detention camps.

Let me get this straight: we "can't afford" to invest in public programs that make housing or healthcare more affordable — but we have endless funds to detain migrants and enrich defense contractors?

The answer is yes. Just like Trump’s Azerbaijan hotel was a money laundering front for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
Senate Dems are demanding answers about Trump's White House demolition and whether any of the donors could be engaging in "quid pro quo arrangements."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and colleagues are requesting a detailed accounting of the donors and specifics about the contracting and approval process.

Trump demolishes the East Wing — and White House norms
The East Wing's rapid razing bypassed a detailed process for major federal renovation projects in Washington. Now, Senate Democrats are demanding answers.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Republicans control all 3 branches of the government and claim they’re leading us into a “Golden Age.” But they can’t figure out how to end a government shutdown, and they want us to blame the party that controls exactly zero branches of government.

Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

If a democratic Speaker had refused to call the House into session for OVER A MONTH there would be wall to wall coverage on all networks.

What the fuck is wrong with our media

The President has immunity.

Now Stephen Miller is telling ICE they have federal immunity while “fulfilling their duties”.

We have a dictator with a secret police force and both have immunity from prosecution.

This is fascism.

They can and will do whatever they want.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

Ted Cruz whines all over the internet about Obama's $370 million spent on White House renovations. However, Cruz failed to report that Congress approved the funding in 2008 under President George W. Bush. The work was completed during Obama's time in office.
Funny how spin works, huh?

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk.

I had it exactly backward.
signs like these are up all over Chicago cafes and storefronts (here, cafes in Brighton Park and Back of the Yards) warning ICE not to enter without a judicial warrant

Another constitutional law bites the dust
📌The Constitution does not permit a private payer to fund the military, it grants the power exclusively to Congress. This principle is a key part of the constitution that ensures civilian control over the military by preventing private interests from influencing or controlling the armed forces.

It can't be "federal agents" it has to be "criminal assailants" and they have to be identified and charged with assault.

Who in the hell came up with the wrong and moronic idea that federal agents are immune to assault and battery laws?

Part of this is police acceptance of illegal behavior.

No accident. The shot that hit the peaceful pastor was not only fired from a dangerously close range, but done purely to inflict maximum harm

Trump's troops are the problem

Misleading: "agents fired a pepper round that struck the pastor"

Accurate: "an agent shot a pastor in the face with a pepper ball"
