It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.
That wasnât a summit. That was a debacle.
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. Thatâs $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
The military takeover of Washington is not a âdistractionâ from Epstein. Itâs a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows itâs been an explicit goal since before the election.
Doesnât deploy federal troops to stop a Capitol invasion or save children from a Texas flood or clean up debris from a StL tornado. Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags. Got it.
NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. Heâs now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.
Two months after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, in June 2022, Idahoâs trigger ban outlawing most abortionsâone of the strictest nationwideâtook effect. According to a new peer-reviewed paper study, Idaho lost more than a third of its OBsâ94 of 268 totalâafterwards.
We found the waste, fraud, and abuseâŚ
Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause. The removal was blamed on a "coding error." Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...
Priorities.
Two things that shouldnât be for profit: prisons and healthcare, because the incentive for harm is too great. Keep âem sick. Keep âem locked up. keep the checks coming.
Thank you to Scotland đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó ż for showing up and taking a stand this weekend. We loved the signs, so many of them made us laugh. This weekend showed that the resistance is growing and that we have friends everywhere! Scotland the Brave!
This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days. They didnât let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didnât let him change or shower. They didnât give him a reason for his detention. Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-a...
Iâm about to lose my health insurance. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
We're in court today challenging an Arkansas law that forces public schools to display the Ten Commandments. We've said it before and we'll say it again: Public schools aren't Sunday schools.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
Where are the children being held? đ¨ Children, handcuffed and chained, being moved out of the LA Federal Building. July 10 - ICE & CBP raided two Glass House Farms sites in Camarillo and Carpinteria. Up to 319 undocumented workers arrested. At least 10 migrant kids were found. The youngest was 14.
Tech bros donât want to save the world. They want to own it, brand it, license it, and charge you a monthly fee to visit.
I love this lady. She's starting a series exposing who is helping to pay for alligator Alcatraz concentration camp.

Turn your passion into action. RSVP today for the first session of the ACLU People Power series on Tuesday 7/8 at 8 pm ET to learn how to organize effectively in your community to defend our civil rights.
I didnât have a crystal ballâŚI just read Project 2025. Q
Letâs also ignore the fact that Trump has moved from speaking like a 12 year old to speaking like a 6 year old. Letâs also ask who was president before Biden. No, media? No follow up on that? Biden was president since olden times?
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy... "That's just how it is."
Americans have been duped. Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy. Thatâs how you make America great.
The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new âcampâ deep in the Florida Everglades, where officials are openly describing it as âconcentratingâ certain people in one area. Have you seen the photos of the flooding? This entire site is a human rights violation.
A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims [From our Climate Desk partner @wired.com]
just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.
We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
It is time for state and local governments to arrest masked officers who wonât produce warrants and who have no proof someone is undocumented. Kidnappers should be arrested and indicted and tried for kidnapping and serve the many years such sentences carry.
It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.
Yassss! Go Team đ
So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem
NEW: New York Attorney General Letitia James on the arrest of NYC mayoral candidate and comptroller Brad Lander. âThis is profoundly unacceptable. Arresting Comptroller Lander for the simple act of standing up for immigrants and their civil rights is a shocking abuse of power.â
BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.
At the brink of war, our military is being led by an incompetent drunk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUo...
Weâve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.
AOC: "They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding & ripping apart peaceful public spaces, and now they are tackling & arresting US sitting members of Congress, while going on the record & lying about what happened.
Happy No Kings Day!
To Sir With Love #AmazingGrace #ObamaAppreciationDay #Obama #NoKingsDay
Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. Sheâs lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.
"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. âI would like to cure brain cancer,â Dr. Tanner said. âI think that's not particularly controversial.â www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Every accusation is a confession.
The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.
The head of FEMA joked about not knowing hurricane season had started. Americans work too damn hard and pay too much to be governed by clowns. When lives are at stake, we need serious leadership, not punchlines.
I think a lot of of those folks dressing up like ICE are not even cops much less federal agents. The way they carry themselves. The way they are dressed. Something is off.
ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.
Iâm officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal timesâand this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...
Democrats do not to need to vote for any Trump appointee.
House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. Iâll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.
16 Democrats joined Republicans to advance crypto regulation that's been rubber stamped by the industry â as Trump profits off his own memecoin. Why? Crypto corporations have shelled out huge campaign contributions to both parties. Big Money has corrupted the system.
Thomas and Alito are immoral and disgusting.
Abolish ICE is the compromise position. We need to abolish the entire Department of Homeland Security, which was created after 9-11 with the express purpose of terrorizing immigrant communities, activists, and ordinary people in a sickening display of security theater that does not make anyone safer
Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while theyâre supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake â itâs legalized corruption.
BREAKING: Moodyâs has DOWNGRADED the United Statesâ credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 â the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade in the agencyâs history. âWe do not believe that material multi-year reductions in mandatory spending and deficits will result from current fiscal proposals under consideration.â
Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.
Bribery in plain sight.
Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
The fascism playbook hasn't changedâonly the speed we're flipping through its chapters.
They want me arrested. They want me silenced. I'm not going anywhere.
Word is Attorney General Pam Bondi is seeking records and testimony from journalists. Please be mindful of how you communicate use secure formats, follow established guidance, and above all, protect your identity at all costs.
We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.
Stephen Miller says they are âactively looking atâ suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.
I knew it! The White House is considering SUSPENDING HABEAS CORPUS. And here I thought I was being paranoid.
âThe controversial 1,000-bed facility is owned by the private prison company GEO Group, which entered into a 15-year, $1 billion contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February.â $1 BILLION dollars lining the pockets of a private prison company. www.insidernj.com/baraka-arres...
JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. Whatâs next on the agenda?
Granddaughter of a Navy vet. Daughter of a Navy vet. Mother of an Army soldier. Not one damn dime should be spent on a military parade for a draft dodgerâŚ

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!
If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you donât give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.
The arrest of a judge and the removal of U.S.-born children represent the escalation of this regimeâs lawlessness and inhumanityâpart of its expanding commitment to stoke fear, ignore its constitutional obligations & threaten the lives of everyone in America. www.americaamerica.news/p/how-much-i...
The Department of Justice has restored two previously canceled grants supporting victims of violent crimes, including domestic violence, following a Mother Jones report on Thursday that highlighted the critical roles the programs played for survivors.
Funny how the paperwork only matters when itâs a woman or minority voter.
Trump administration has deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with no meaningful process and against the wishes of her father.
It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...
We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.
Here comes the arrests of journalists now.
Art of the deal đ¤Łđđ¤Łđ
Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesnât win by a lot.
Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."
there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego
I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."
Trump backed Israel mass murdered first responders. IDF ambushed multiple ambulances, a fire truck and their personnel (15+), executing them on-site, burying the bodies along with the vehicles and lied about it while denying safe passage to search for the missing first responders.
Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trumpâs tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You canât hide from the voters forever.
