Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

What do these corporations all have in common? -Lockheed Martin -Palantir -Microsoft -Amazon -Comcast -Google -Apple -Meta -HP -Nvidia -T-Mobile They all have lucrative government contracts — and they're all donors to Trump's $400M ballroom.

🚨People employed to work for ICE are not educated. They are so woefully ignorant, they see brown skin and assume. Colonizers came and stole everything from Native Americans/Indigenous people. The thought of them being detained/questioned by ICE in 2025 is infuriating. Shameful.

The EPSTEIN Files are a much quicker read than I expected.

Huge news from Kentucky. Congratulations, State Senator-elect Clemons!

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Garcia: In our initial estimation—It could be that we're only getting about 10% of what the DOJ has. And of that 10%, 5% of that has already been released. And the other 5% is highly redacted. So we're getting very little so far

Garcia: This is not a real release. This is continuing a coverup that's been going on now for months.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Khanna: Congress is talking about possible impeachment. They're talking about inherent contempt for the attorney general or deputy attorney general—any justice department official who has obstructed justice could face prosecution in this administration or a future administration.

WATCH-- Former AG Eric Holder says Congress should consider impeachment for the DOJ officials responsible for holding back the Epstein files: “That's a nuclear option that Congress has.”

The Supreme Court has cleared the way for Texas to use a map in the 2026 elections that heavily favors Republicans, overruling a bipartisan set of judges who found that those maps discriminate on the basis of race.

NY Times: “This a presidency that celebrates nastiness and spite, not empathy or grace, a reflection, perhaps, of a coarser era in American life.”

“The embrace of the unitary executive theory by both the president and the court has given us the worst of all worlds: an ultrapowerful presidency without an actual president at the helm.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/o...

I just read a story about reddit bots yesterday on Wired. Basically says mostly what you are saying. Here is a link: www.wired.com/story/ai-slo...

Flood, storm and fire survivors gathered on Capitol Hill to criticize plans to scale back federal assistance while keeping FEMA under DHS control.

Making a math mistake on your taxes shouldn't cost you a fortune or hours of work.   That's why my bipartisan IRS MATH Act that was just signed into law makes sure you know where you made a mistake and how to push back if the IRS got it wrong.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.
