Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

If the president can magically claim that drug runners are “narco-terrorists” to justify killing them, what’s to stop him from declaring democratic lawmakers as “political terrorists” or legally protesting American citizens as “agitator terrorists” to justify their murders?

The good news: 1) Aftyn Behn moved a ruby red district 12 points more blue. 2) She can and should run again in the midterm election. 3) With real investment and good candidates, every R+ 7 or less seat is now in play. The bad news: Rural white voters are still the absolute worst.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Lecturing on Watergate this morning and trying to decide how to communicate "no, Congress used to care when presidents did crimes!" without derailing the lecture and/or sobbing

1/ Remember: THE GOP MAJORITY in Congress could STOP this insanity at any time. THEY CONDONE: *Brutalizing immigrants and American citizens *Useless tariffs that YOU pay. *The alienation of our allies *Bonding with our enemies *The war crimes of SECDEF *The invasion of sovereign country

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

I recall the media having a field day accusing Biden of putting our troops in harms way during their withdrawal from Afghanistan. Let’s see if they offer the same courtesy to Trump for his disaster in DC.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

There is no more important job for a parent than protecting their children. The rage I have for people letting their babies die from whooping cough to lean into conspiracy and stupidity. Enough already.

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is.  And we know what causes it, too."

Californians are buying ice scrapers at Home Depot, then immediately returning them....bogging down the entire store, until Home Depot refuses to allow ICE to loiter at their location to detain innocent people. Winter is coming. Scrape ICE.

New rule: if you’re a Supreme Court Justice and you’re mentioned in the Epstein files, you have to recuse from any future lawsuit about the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files. So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

How embarrassing. Administration sources were all-in on this Russian wishlist until it was revealed that it was an *actual* Russian wishlist and not just the worst possible peace plan for Ukraine.

The administration that uncancelled swastikas yesterday wants us to believe that it is blackmailing universities because it is so sincerely against antisemitism?

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

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.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States: - Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party - Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children - Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats Those are just factual statements.

“If you’re quiet now, you would’ve been quiet in 1940.”

I understand the reasoning behind zeroing in on ICE & DHS abducting citizens. But when you lead with what's perceived as your most sympathetic cases, you cede the moral high ground & make arguing for others harder. It is wrong for armed, masked gestapo to grab people - doesn't matter their status.

I don’t care what happens with the Texas legislative maps. Democrats should still gerrymander the shit out of blue states.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

🚨🚨 ICE ALERT 🚨🚨 ICE agents have been reported in the Boone (NC) and adjacent areas. They are targeting Christmas tree farms, conducting Kavanaugh stops, and are waiting outside certain stores. Warn anyone who needs to be. Remember ICE can’t come on your private property w/o judicial warrants.

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

The whole thing is horrifying, but at least a reporter asked the question. We need more reporters calling him out every single time.

President Trump said he plans to sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns from national security officials that it could help China steal the technology. When Saudi Arabia gets things it wants, it’s worth remembering Trump’s business conflicts in the country… 🧵

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten. For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

Demand Congress support the discharge petition that will force a vote on extending ACA tax credits:

It’s incredible how easily these people just… lie. For no reason. Then when they get caught lying, they’re like well obviously tariffs were going to raise prices.

I believe the women. We don’t need the files (that may also have been tampered with or redacted).

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

So the FBI has asked ICE to remove their masks because so many fake ICE thugs have been committing crimes — when will they actually comply?

💯

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

A fuck ton. People always ask me what they should pay attention to that they probably aren’t already, and China/Taiwan is normally my answer. China is really leaning into their ‘grey zone’ strategy and they’re putting a lot of pressure on Taiwan. They’re really hoping to provoke a response.

It feels like it, but the issue with Nixon is that the GOP actually gave a shit about their oaths of office back then. That’s not the case now. They’ve completely abdicated their duty. If the rumors of a mass-GOP defection on the files come to fruition, we might be closer to a real Nixon moment.

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Can the next please dear God can the next interviewer ask MTG about oh I don’t know January 6th etc before we keep pretending she found politics Jesus

Major US cities are experiencing outbreaks of violence caused by armed gang members. These thugs are masked and dangerous. They attack and kidnap people off the streets and at their places of work. The group should be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. They call themselves ICE.

President Trump is planning a formal dinner for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during his trip to Washington, a man the U.S. intelligence community concluded approved the killing and dismemberment of Post opinion columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
