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.

Are there ANY Republicans who will speak up? When the grift is this blatant and still no one says or does anything to stop it… do we even have a functioning government anymore?

in New Hampshire, JB Pritzker hits the "simpering timidity" of many Dems:
“Fellow Democrats, for far too long we’ve been guilty of listening to a bunch of do-nothing political types who would tell us that America’s house is not on fire,even as the flames are licking their faces"

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

In our current version of The Upside Down, “I have nothing to do with Russia,” is nothing other than “I am here to serve the interests of Vladimir Putin.”
Trump is once again speaking on behalf of Putin, blaming Zelensky and not Putin for his inability to resolve the conflict. He doesn't care about the people of Ukraine or their sovereignty. He just wants to get credit for ending the war.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans.
And nobody has been fired...

Literally the most fragile people to ever enter politics. What’s the word I’m looking for… oh, right, snowflakes.
The Justice Department removed the acting national security head from his post hours after Attorney General Pam Bondi saw a portrait of former President Joe Biden continuing to hang in the division’s front office.

Where is all that money in your 401(k) going? Right into the pockets of Trump’s billionaire buddies who have the means to short markets on a mass scale.
This will end up being one of the great redistributions of wealth in American history.

Of course it’s all about control. No policy objectives, just control and power.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

4/4. Russia has no more right to dictate anything that happens inside Ukraine than Ukraine has to dictate what happens inside Russia. And the "root causes" of this war are all inside Russia, as the Russians are reminding us.

I just got back from 36 hours in Ukraine with my brother Scott. Wanted to share a story from while we were there. At a hospital, we talked with a wounded Ukrainian soldier.
I asked him what he thought about the recent change in US policy. His response in English was, “What the fuck.”

For years, I’ve been saying that the fundamental differences among us as people can be traced to a lack of empathy on one side of things. Very rarely do the empathy-lacking admit it in public.

This is a valuable thread filled with (perhaps not so) common sense strategy for moving forward and actually winning. It’s not easy, but it really is simple.
You ever notice how the hard right in the GOP has no hesitation about threatening elected officials they see as weak or ineffective with being primaried but when someone suggests that is how to deal with feckless Dems the response is "No, you'll weaken the party!" The reality is the opposite.

This speech is so divorced from reality that were a normal person to exhibit similar behavior they would be institutionalized.
