Embarrassed That’s the best description of my response for America’s action under Trump. Just completely, shamefully embarrassed by America - in every arena that Trump has influenced. He is an embarrassment.

NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials. “Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now."

www.commondreams.org/news/billion... This is what is wrong with America. Beginning with Reagan's trickle-down, voodoo economics BS, the rich have been getting richer while the middle class has been shrinking and the working class is getting poorer, more so under tRump #KickThemAllOut #TaxTheRich

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand. There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise. Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

For the second time in a little over a week, ICE officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles. This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

🚨When you feel you and your family require housing on a military base - to be “safe,” you are the problem. When these people are members of the president’s senior admin/advisory staff, they are (collectively) our problem. They have declared themselves enemies of the people. 1/2

“Fastest accumulation of $1 Trillion in debt outside of the pandemic…” But at least the rich got their tax cuts, right @MarshaBlackburn? With Inequality at gilded age levels. PSA: They don’t care about the debt and never did.

Donald Trump has had more government shutdowns under unified party control than all other U.S. president —combined. Trump also presided over the longest shutdown, and will likely surpass that record. This is not gridlock, this is bad governance. #EconSky #GovernmentShutdown

When Congress has a 15% approval rating but a 96% reelection rate the math isn't mathing. Gerrymandering. Closed primaries. Backroom deals. The parties built a system to serve themselves. Forward’s building one that serves the people: news.gallup.com/poll/696722/...

OFFICIAL STATEMENT "Forward Party slams North Carolina gerrymandered map and reaffirms support for @dondavisnc.bsky.social and voter-centered democracy." Check out the full statement.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home. Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures. Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

Denver-based voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, a target of false conspiracy theories from President Donald Trump and his supporters since the 2020 election, has been bought by a firm run by a former Republican elections official.

NEW: Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chair of the Senate Intel Committee, says nearly 25% of FBI agents working on counter-terrorism, cyber security, counter-intelligence and other criminal cases have been reassigned to immigration cases.

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel. That's all erased now.

Incels rebranding themselves to the manosphere is probably one of the most successful rebrands of the century.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I hope you have someone in your life that has your back like Trump does for rich pedophiles.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

This strikes me as pretty bad

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.
