#ICYMI: A sweeping data-sharing agreement authorizing DHS to merge Social Security data into the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system could threaten Americans’ privacy and lead to errors that disenfranchise legitimate voters, experts say. By @jenafifield.bsky.social

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces. ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation. Let’s start there.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Everyone paying attention here, folks? Safety inspections of milk doesn't sounds like waste or fat to me. WTF?

Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation and architect of Project 2025, says they’re already working on Project 2029. Project 2025 is already being rolled out, and now they’re planning the next phase. Use our Project 2025 tracker to stay informed: go.redwine.blue/P25TRACK-BS

Let's talk about the so-called Save Act. Don't let the name fool you. This bill doesn't SAVE anything - this is 100% a VOTER SUPPRESSION bill. #HandsOffHerVote

The real reporters in the AP are locked outside that room, but hopefully everyone inside enjoys their new peers. This is who you are now. Embrace it.

Musk staffers gained access to a system at the Interior Department. We had resisted their attempts for about two weeks to obtain administrative access to the program. Two IT officials who stood their ground are now on administrative leave and under investigation.

Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American. 🧵1/

The EPA will close a museum that tells the story of the agency’s history and mission.

RFK's group set up a fake CDC site full of vaccine disinfo. Very reminiscient of the fake "abortion" websites antis put up, to trick women seeking abortions into being too afraid to do it.

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

"The way I was taught is, if your family were immigrants to this country and came for a better life, the price you pay for that is you can never say that 'no one else is welcome.' That is what America was built on," said the Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey.

His wife’s parents are foreign academics. Was it bad for America that they came? I don’t think it was!

This is a superb primer by @stevevladeck.bsky.social on President Trump’s radical invocation of the 1798 Alien Enemy Act. Everyone needs to read this:

“Teach the controversy” now moving from creationism to very recent history. The things that Oklahoma wants to teach its students simply did not happen. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

This is called fraudulent accounting, and it’s what Trump was found criminally guilty of by a New York court.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is how it’s done.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
