Fatally so. Inferring the GOP does know how to leverage social media algos to their advantage? Holy hell, boy if that’s not the understatement of the decade! The GOP is engaged in INFORMATION WARFARE…weaponized LIES! Until this FACT is acknowledged, broadcast & mitigated, democracy is doomed. 🚩🚩🚩

7/ Democrats need to stand for something right now. And what need, to vote for this budget, is pretty simple and reasonable:

Don't cut people's health care just to pay for a billionaire tax cut.

Don't fund Trump's growing authoritarianism without checks on his corruption.

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

Immigrant advocates have been thrown to the ground, pepper-sprayed, and tailed in their cars by officers in an apparent attempt to intimidate them, @caitlindickerson.bsky.social reports. One tells her: “It's never been this bad.”

‘It’s Never Been This Bad’

Immigrant advocates face escalating consequences and threats from the president.

Remember the Paris peace treaty that got scuffled for Nixon’s political gain. How many of our guys died afterwards?🤔

Wait till we find out drumpf & bibi had a deal: “Keep this “genocide” thing going until I’m in. And then at the right time let’s play it as if i made it happen. We’ll both benefit.”🤔

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Jordy: Republicans control every branch of government. Every day that passes with the gov shut down is another reminder that Trump and the GOP would rather protect pedos than ensure people have health care. Because once the government reopens, you know what’s coming—a vote on the Epstein files.

"Show them you're not afraid. Do it for the country. For the Constitution. For your family. For yourself. Do it for your freedom. While you still can."

This is excellent. Every Dem strategist who thinks there's risk in engaging these debates should watch it for guidance.

Not joke. Laugh or cry. Tough choice. He is a disgrace to the human race. That he’s parading around with the POTUS title makes me nauseous. He’s an embarrassment to the USA every minute of every day. #Impeach

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV pundits say that Trump's threat of providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine is merely a part of the plan worked out with Putin in Anchorage, and after Trump's call with Putin, he will announce a change of plans and send nothing.

Lewis Powell authored the Powell Memo demanding a corporate takeover of America & he engineered court rulings helping corporations buy elections.

Amid her billionaire-backed takeover of CBS News, Bari Weiss published a former News Corp exec reimagining Powell as a “thoughtful & measured" moderate.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.
