Robin Vos sucks. As usual, these pricks care about the “preborn” but once they’re born? Fuck ‘em (and their mothers). Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos Continues to Block Postpartum Medicaid Expansion www.propublica.org/article/wisc...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Past is prologue. In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests. And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now. This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Hey Pam Bondi. This is John Mitchell. Gird your loins because you actually work for the people and not the president and you will eventually find out what that means.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

The only possible connection to reality is that the retail space in Trump’s Chicago hotel has been unrented forever. Not because of murder, though.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

A salient reminder that all this is being done by *private* contractors. Not only is it cruel, wrong and stupid, but also FOR PROFIT. www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

The bottom line is that the GOP absolutely cannot be trusted to deal with any societal problem. They lead with cruelty and focus exclusively on how to package private greed as public service.

Fiscal conservatism is a lie and a grift. The wealthy have suppressed the nation’s revenue through insufficient taxation, generating Federal debt. Then they’ve used the money they should have paid in taxes to purchase that debt and collect interest. It’s a fucking scam.

I’m too angry to write cogently. All Republicans should be un-electable after this shit. For generations. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Unlike Trump, I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care. I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

No shit…

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet. MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.
