AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, America's poorest families lose about $1600 per year. The richest households gain about $12,000 per year. It's Reverse Robin Hood. (Via CBO)

This is the term we must use now, yes.

Disgusting and unacceptable. Manhandling, throwing to the ground, and handcuffing a duly elected U.S. Senator for conducting oversight is what you see from fascist, authoritarian regimes. If it can happen to him, it can happen to any of us.

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, reacting to Senator Padilla being handcuffed and forcibly removed from Kristi Noem’s press conference: “I’ve seen that one clip. It’s horrible. It is shocking at every level. It’s not the America I know.”

This is what Trump's government thugs are willing to do in broad daylight, to a US Senator, with cameras on. They are sending the message that anyone who disagrees with Trump isn't safe in America. This is authoritarianism.

Kristi Noem’s threat should be taken EXTREMELY seriously by Los Angeles residents and our elected leadership. “We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership.” This is a major threat. DO NOT STOP RESlSTlNG.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Rep. Tran: "Sen. Padilla was physically assaulted and arrested for attending Sec. Noem's press event...Would you have me forcibly removed from your press event if I walked in?" Hegseth: "I'm not going to speculate on a hypothetical." Rep. Tran: "I'll take that as a yes."

They lie about everything

Blatant lies from official government feeds. Do they not know we all see the video?

Tufts University graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk’s arrest is a clarifying moment for American democracy, writes senior correspondent Zack Beauchamp. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/ZfQOSf

Donald Trump is putting cruelty over care. No part of Illinois will be untouched by these cuts that impact mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and infectious disease prevention programs. Ultimately, his actions will generate larger expenses in the long run.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

This headline just shows how bad this is getting: Social Security backs off plan to cut phone services for disabled people www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Things Brad Schimel is proud of: 1. Being named in the suit “Planned Parenthood v. Schimel” (a case won by @crawfordforwi) 2. Supporting the 1849 abortion ban 3. Using taxpayer funds to mint “kicking ass every day” coins while leaving rape kits untested Vote for Susan Crawford.

TUESDAY IS ELECTION DAY! I hope everyone knows that, this is a biggie. What you probably don’t know is that there are elections in AK, CA, CO, DE, FL, IL, KS, MS NE, OK, SC, WI and TN It’s not just the three races you know about even in those two states. 1/2

DOGE is crippling the Social Security Administration. SSA’s website crashed four times in 10 days and Americans who depend on Social Security have flooded congressional offices with angry phone calls. The AARP says it has been getting 2,000 calls a week.

NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility. 1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken. A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

BREAKING: Jeffery Goldberg of The Atlantic has shared the war plans text in his latest article. Gift article in the next thread. #signalgate

CIA director erupts after Democrat asks whether Hegseth was drinking before Signalgate leaks

Exactly, Stephen.

"Prosecutors asserted that, whether or not the communications were private, whether or not the parties consented to the acquisition of the contents, and whether or not the communications were on a public server, the journalist can be prosecuted for acquiring and publishing them"

Trump is completely oblivious that 4 US troops died in Lithuania

Trump announces 25 percent tariffs on all vehicle imports

Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement last week pushing back on President Trump and others' calls to impeach federal judges who ruled against the administration.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Honored to join veterans in calling for accountability and investigations into Secretary Hegseth’s FUBAR situation where he texted secret war plans on Signal to a journalist. We all wore the uniform. If we had texted secret war plans to a journalist, we likely would have been court-martialed.

It takes a genius to figure out the mystery of who the person clearly recorded as inviting him is.🙄

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security." Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

After Jeffrey Goldberg released the full transcript of the Signal chat, Pete Hegseth had a full on X tantrum, only to be called out by X users for distorting the truth.

🚨NEW: Major development. German newspaper Der Spiegel has found phone numbers and passwords for Hegseth, Waltz & Gabbard in stolen data freely published on the internet. ‼️It includes details of Signal accounts. “It is conceivable that foreign agents were privy to the Signal chat group.”

Little trip down memory lane. 🤣🤩

1/ So get this: You go on to Facebook & see a loan ad. You click through & apply, giving lots of sensitive information. Unbeknownst to you & sometimes the loan company, guess who also gets all that sensitive info? Meta (parent co of Facebook).

We are not going back, only forward

A paid ad in the NYT has called for Trump's resignation. He won't, but I appreciate the effort this person went through to do this. The ad was printed on 03/02/25

Another example of a rally that unfortunately was not filmed in full, but at least we have this fantastic speech from Glenn Ivey

Trump just made a new announcement about tariffs from the WH. Hopefully, you don’t have any retirement savings in the stock market.
