Oh, he knew.
Here is one of ~50 cases we documented of federal agents--usually masked and unidentified--smashing car windows to grab the person inside. “She is pregnant!” a man screamed, as his citizen wife sat, terrified The agents break three windows and grab the man projects.propublica.org/trump-ice-sm...
Can’t make this sh*t up…
‘Teaching is the only job where you steal office supplies from home to bring to work.’ I’m retired, but I easily spent $1000 yr on my classroom. And the pay wasn’t great. And I had an M.Ed. Many 10 hour days…
By 2029 the GOP may have entrenched their coup by "legal" methods Gerrymandering-permitted by MAGA judges Changes in citizenship laws and deportations Quashing dissent by jailing protesters And radical "interpretation" of the Constitution We still don't fully comprehend the danger America faces
😡
We are now, already, a police state. Wait’ll ICE hires thousands of thugs per the big Ugly Bill…. We’ll be a police state on steroids.
Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons. America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East
at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans
Talking to @maryltrump.bsky.social
The officers who handcuffed Padilla need to be hauled in before Congress, made an example of, fired and arrested on live national television. They violated an American’s Constitutional rights and they assaulted a United States Senator.
Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."
I think he means D.C. …I think everyone should stay away & make it a ghost town as someone else here has said.. But if it’s inevitable that confrontation is beginning, I regret saying we will have to meet the moment.
So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?
Reminder that the Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted supposed anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone. Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%. But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%.

Rep. Jason Smith: "And then you can look at Medicaid cuts -- Medicaid reforms, I should say." Oops.
Not surprised. I’ve always thought he was kind of a sleazy opportunist, even when he did good things … & def not presidential material.
Even though he did some good things, Gavin Newsom has always seemed too slick and ambitious. And yeah, I’m doubling down on that.
Glad someone is saying this
Fooling no one except the hardcore MAGA cultists..
Hahahaaa!
Incredible moment. 🤡 @calltoactivism.bsky.social
Good turnout, & good support from people driving by. (I’m one of the musicians ☺️, wearing a pink shirt.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.
The judge was chosen by fate to meet a constitutional crisis head-on. I wish him every bit of courage & stamina that he will need to do the right thing.
He sent them some slave labor?
And HIPAA rules make it so he can’t be contradicted.
What shall we do tomorrow my darling Aldric; shall we go walk along the ocean?
The lesson for universities is you may as well fight back. You'll lose the money either way. The only question is whether you keep your dignity.
You either take your poverty job and love it or go to college and take your massive debt and love it. Either way it's your fault for not being born to rich people.
Boston. Hands off!
“Kennedy’s team requested that Marks turn over data on cases of brain swelling and deaths caused by the measles vaccine—data that Marks said doesn’t exist because there have been no such confirmed cases in the U.S.” www.wsj.com/health/healt...
Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq
If you're looking for a price tracker that might help you figure out how to stay afloat during this looming economic nightmare, here's one that might help:
Greenland has universal healthcare. Greenland sees how we treat Puerto Rico. Greenland is mostly indigenous and sees how we treat our own indigenous people. Why on earth would they willingly join us?
Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.
If my partner was an undercover cat in somewhere like Russia, I'd be terrified.

The red states are really depending on NOAA tonight! Do they realize DOGE is taking the chainsaw to the agency? I hope you all get through the storms ok!
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. These are not normal times.
If Musk and his Technoboyz can't stop a cyber attack at X, maybe they shouldn't have access to our Social Security? Just brainstorming.
I’m so proud that you are taking your message to people in other states. (I voted for you on every ballot you were on.)
I approve.
Trump: And we have Marco Rubio in charge. Good luck, Marco. Now we know who to blame if everything goes wrong.
This. If you roll over for Trump he still goes for the jugular…
Says it all.
I am so ashamed of my government.
Sounds right. Should’ve been a man and resigned
Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.
Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine
Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social n react: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6_m...
Private insurance advantage programs are the worst.
BREAKING—RFK Jr’s FDA suddenly cancels meeting to update next season’s flu vaccines, with zero explanations. Any delays will jeopardize next year’s vaccine supply chain. God help us all.

The corruption is blatant.
How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?
Damn Trump has no idea what's going on while he's golfing, does he? think this is the 3rd time they have fired the wrong people WOW
Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.
I need someone to answer this damn question!
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?
Who could have imagined that dismantling and defunding Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act would cause inflation to rise?
It's Friday. I'm steeling myself for tonight's likely atrocious announcement/action....
Post polio… but he did his part to lead us to possibly lose access to vaccines…
“They apparently just sort of walked past security and said: ‘Get out of my way,’ and they’re looking for access for the IT systems, as they have in other agencies,” said a former Noaa official. “They will have access to the entire computer system, a lot of which is confidential information.”
Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
Moscow Musk used his access to government computer systems to give the Russian/Saudi/Chinese backdoor access as well. The US military and its nuclear weapons are compromised. Every US corporate secret is now leaked. All Americans personal information is now in the hands of foreign enemies.
Now that China/Russia have accessed the Treasury Department systems they will be able to triangulate via pay info our nuclear forces and Officers personal information and act in conflict and surprise to defang & disarm our nuclear arsenal. America is under attack. 🇺🇸 🩸
When Putin and the Russian mafia pulled a coup in Russia and threw out their elected government they took over the Treasury and put an oligarch in charge of it. America is under attack. 🇺🇸 🩸
All I can do is thank my blue state reps for doing the right thing. If you live in a red state you really really need to be contacting your reps about doing the courageous, right things!
I wish.

Is Musk running the show while Trump golfs? Why is he messing with government computers? Why are there worse tarriffs on Canada than on China (whom Elon relies on)?
The absolute hell with shadow President musk
As China is finding out, it’s risky being our foe - as Canada and Mexico are finding out, it’s riskier being our friend.
If you weren’t clear: a President ordering a Federal health and disease agency to delete pages on its website is a public health crisis.
Not the case where I live.
People in the right wing propaganda ‘news’ bubble have no idea what’s actually happening.
We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!
I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.
BREAKING: ICE just announced it is pausing the hotline where people can call to report undocumented immigrants because 90% of the calls are from people reporting Elon Musk.

Emergency Video: Where are the Dems and what is the message?! Oppose this agenda now! Come back from vacation! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...
Project 2025. We are now living through a constitutional crisis. Will the Christian Nationalists and billionaire oligarchy gain control, or will democracy prevail? Be brave.
@ocasio-cortez.house.gov
From Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor on Jan 30 to the Enabling Act on Mar 23, it took just 53 days to dismantle democracy and establish a dictatorship. Afterward, political opposition was crushed, and the Nazis solidified control over all aspects of German life.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
