Undocumented people contribute $63 billion net, to the economy. the Trump administration is doing everything it can to reduce that revenue, along with spending over $28 billion annually to remove undocumented people (and random others) irrespective of their contribution.

the supposedly "originalist" unitary executive theory has led us to a point where the president is claiming the sovereign authority to force all institutions, public or private, to bend to his will or suffer the consequences www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

Trump will find a way to reward his personal army of goons. It's a Mafia imperative, and it's Mafia rules he's following now. #ProudBlue

RUBIO: "I also want to remind everybody that the United States government is not a charity. We are not here to play social worker, we are here to win." Win by turning allies into forced-to-buyers-or-else while closing strategic trade passages and increasing gas prices? Winning, indeed.

President Ulysses S. Grant created our nation’s first national park. President Theodore Roosevelt expanded them. And incompetent President Donald Trump is destroying them.

I never do threads but here goes. 1/ Non LA people: today is the mayoral primary. The top 2 candidates will advance to the general in November, regardless of party. 400 democrats are running and basically only 1 Republican (Spencer Pratt). The top vote getters may only nab numbers in the 20% range.

Can someone ask Marco if his shoes fit today???? 🤡 it’s relevant!

Coons's line of questioning highlights that Rubio was a staunch supporter of Taiwan -- right up until he started working for Trump, and now he's making excuses for the White House's refusal to approve weapons sales to Taiwan

Total collapse for McMorrow in this TIPP Insights (Republican-leaning) poll: -Haley Stevens 35% -Abdul El-Sayed 31% -Mallory McMorrow 13% #MISen It's a two-person race in Michigan t.co/treSEbXDA2

Shaheen to Rubio: "Mr Secretary, you would not have stood for this kind of stonewalling by the administration when you were a senator, and you certainly shouldn't stand for it as secretary of state and national security adviser."

New Jersey sues Geo Group, private operator of Delaney Hall ICE facility - The Guardian

A great win for our state! 👏 These bills will help protect Illinois consumers against out-of-control price hikes from insurance companies, helping them save money and have more peace of mind.

He isn’t looking for people who will serve the United States. He’s looking for people who will serve him.

This is good: Dems are moving to force Rs to vote on Trump's corrupt IRS immunity deal, now that the slush fund is in doubt. The exemption from IRS audits is getting overlooked, but it shouldn't. Dems tell me they're pushing for votes to kill it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2112...

i know the White House thinks it's cute that nobody in the administration has real responsibilities beyond fluffing the president on TV, but that disaster of a press briefing by Dr Oz is a reminder that it's actually good to know what you're talking about

Tech executives are warning that AI could lead to “a level of wealth concentration that will break society.” Those are their words. I won’t accept that future.

ICE facilities are concentration camps where 1 death occurs daily. ICE death camps. ICE DHS Death Camps. Where they put people into crowed concentration camps until they die.

Trump Hired One Idiot for Two Jobs, and He’s Qualified for Neither - Esquire

Look what the far right have done in Birmingham, weaponising Henry Nowak's death for hate, and not even using his correct face or name!!

I’m so sick of this career criminal.

So, Director of National Intelligence is apparently a part-time job with no previous experience required. Got it.

Families are struggling with the rising cost of gas, groceries, & everyday necessities. Instead of addressing this crisis, Trump started a war with Iran that has made everything more expensive. Sec Rubio is testifying before @democrats-appropriations.house.gov Watch here: youtu.be/CZaqbwuH5cc

Let’s find an unqualified nepo-baby with zero experience in military, intelligence or government service who repeatedly says dumb things and has spent his time as housing finance director trying to prosecute Dems & make him DNI. What a joke this admin is.

NEW: I’m glad to cosponsor the Power for the People Act, which would lower your power bill by ensuring data centers pay for their own electricity. This is just a first step – we need to address several other related concerns – but I'm ready to keep up the fight to lower costs.

Pulte will 100% pick up the phone for Putin or Netanyahu. He has no loyalty to America.

Don’t forget: at least 30% of the donors backing Trump’s proposed White House ballroom appear in the Epstein files in a substantial way. That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s a fact.

Nine NFL teams didn't recognize Pride Month yesterday (right wing media is hailing them as heroic) -New York Jets -Pittsburgh Steelers -Cleveland Browns -Cincinnati Bengals -Tennessee Titans -Kansas City Chiefs -Las Vegas Raiders -Dallas Cowboys -New Orleans Saints

Trump has spent years distrusting the intelligence community. Now he's put Bill Pulte, a housing finance executive with no intelligence background, in charge of it as Acting Director of National Intelligence. Loyalty over expertise. America is less safe for it.

Voter fraud is so rare that a person is more likely to get struck by lightning than to cast a fraudulent ballot. So why does Trump keep bringing it up? To use it as a pretext to sabotage the midterms.

Third: With @dfriedman.bsky.social, we uncovered a mysterious $65,000 donation from Pulte’s charity that appears to have been an effort to quietly funnel money to the legal defense of Trump, disguised as charity to poor: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The ONLY thing Trump liked about Gabbard is she weaponized, politicized & misrepresented intelligence so criminal investigations could be launched of Trump's foes (Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and others). Now Trump will have a bigger lackey perverting the intel. community & putting nat. sec. at risk.

New Acting ICE Director David Venturella spent decades in the revolving door between ICE and the private prison industry. Americans shouldn’t have to wonder whether ICE’s priorities are driven by the financial interests of detention contractors. I’m pressing for answers.

Threatening us with a good time, hmm?

We used to have freedom of speech, but the former reporter in charge is afraid to be exposed for his total incompetence. Hegseth hurts the credibility of the DOD with his censorship...

Ted Lieu on the resignation of the federal prosecutor leading the James Comey case: “I expect this federal prosecutor who resigned to be one of the witnesses when Todd Blanche gets disbarred— November is coming”

It is bullshit that Americans cannot purchase Chinese EVs.

www.politico.com/news/2026/06... The guy has zero experience in national intelligence or any intelligence for that matter his only qualification is he's really good at sucking Trump's dick and investigation 👉🏼I'm guessing he swallows🤨👇🏼

Trump can repeatedly bomb the hell out of Iran and they still won’t back down, while Republicans in Congress spend every day terrified that they might draw a mean Truth Social post if they step out of line from Dear Leader’s whims and wishes.

Texans deserve a say in what happens to their communities. Today, I spoke at the Bell County Commissioners Court about the real costs of AI data centers: increased water and power demand, noise and property value concerns, and the impact these projects can have on the people who already live there.

The US is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure

Abraham Lincoln understood, perhaps better than anyone, how personal liberty and self-reliance are at the heart of the American experience. But he also knew there are certain things we can only do together. Read more in my essay for @inpursuitusa.bsky.social:

#LosAngeles #California Spencer Pratt poses as a man of the people, but his record reveals something darker: a spoiled, rage-fueled opportunist hungry for power. Los Angeles deserves leaders who serve communities, not themselves. This wolf in sheep's clothing must never reach City Hall. #Pinks

I'm not satisfied with "Trump backing down from $1.8B traitor fund". I want to see something in writing that prevents it from happening after we've all forgotten about it.
