These two things are true: 1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal. 2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

BREAKING: Republicans just voted against a bill to fund government AND save your health care. Help make sure Americans know Republicans are SO determined to let premiums DOUBLE that they would rather SHUTDOWN the government than work to avert this crisis.

At a profound level, MAGA's immigration policies are simply a way to transfer taxpayer dollars to private contractors whose job is to terrorize the American people. Fundamentally, leaders are using our own money to destroy our democracy.

Democracy is dying in America, and resistance begins with language — it shapes what the public sees, and what they’re willing to tolerate. Resistance begins when we refuse to repeat their lies. Words become action. Action becomes power. Truth becomes revolution.

Bondi continues to make a big deal of the block-long chase to apprehend suspect in Dugan case. She’s got it totally backwards. The far greater threat to public safety is the many criminal defendants w/ immigration problems who won’t show up for court now, thinking they could be arrested and deported

And claims from DOJ that Article II of the Constitution enables autocracy.

This is dumb (and cruel) for a lot of reasons others have stated but also: It’s wrong to view or measure any of Trump and Musk’s actions as one-offs. The whole point is the agenda is united: It bends toward white nationalism and kleptocracy. These 12 stories are all the *same* story.
