NEW: Trump ordered top U.S. intelligence official Tulsi Gabbard to take part in the FBI’s Fulton County raid, undercutting the DOJ’s explanation of her presence as a coincidence.

The report indicates Trump’s personal involvement and heavy investment in the raid.

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea.

This should not be a difficult concept.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And all have broken that promise.

A new video captures masked ICE agents in unmarked vehicles swarming the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew before hauling her away. There’s no way this was random.

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

Remember that Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley

Piyush Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal

Raphael Cruz ran as Ted Cruz

Meanwhile—Barack Obama ran as Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani ran as Zohran Mamdani, and MAGAs accuse Dems of identity politics

Every MAGA accusation is a confession

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

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.

The Supreme Court made it easier for ICE to stop you for being brown. The Court sided with ICE, letting them continue targeting people based on race, language, where they are, or the kind of work they do. The ruling is a setback, but it’s not the end. Together we'll keep fighting.
