Thank you @democrats.senate.gov for voting unanimously for Senator Sanders’ Amendment to strip ICE of BBB funding. Can you please demand the Sanders Amendment as a condition to fund DHS now that you’ve successfully separated it from the larger spending package?

First he taunted the media as "fake news."

Then the "enemy of the people."

Then he filed a wave of meritless lawsuits.

And allowed a raid on a WaPo reporter.

Now journalists are being outright arrested.

It's a disturbing moment in America.

Trump Squeezes Lemon
From taunting journalists as “fake news” to now outright arresting them, the charges against Don Lemon signal that Donald Trump’s attacks on the press have reached a chilling new extreme.

A very significant vote. The $75 billion can be taken away; this marks a clear vote by the Democratic caucus to do so.
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating.

Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago.

“Protests make MAGA mad. Journalism makes MAGA mad. Accountability makes MAGA mad. And the anger keeps building until a single sentence starts to spread across the length and breadth of Trump’s base: “Invoke the Insurrection Act.”

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.

ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

ICE is being shielded by a bundled DHS funding bill. Congress must split DHS and reject any final package that preserves ICE’s funding, power, and impunity.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: One of your Republican opponents asked Trump to target Atlanta.

We’ve sent a metric shit ton of hardware to the Middle East in the last 48 hrs.

The most significant force posture changes aside from the carrier strike group:

- more Growlers (electronic warfare platform)
- Combat Search and Rescue aircraft
- multiple C-17 transport aircraft

The price of ground beef just hit a record high. We haven’t had a chance to post about it yet because we’re too busy talking about how you’re executing American citizens in the streets.
Trump: "Prices are coming down very substantially. They have a new word, you know, they always have a hoax. The new word is affordability."

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes.

This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator.

It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/
