It's THIS kind of messaging they need to get out in front of everyone

I feel like a lot of ppl are missing the big picture here with ICE in airports. (1/3) The President is freely moving federal law enforcement officers—who have shown a willingness to engage in violent behavior with no meaningful accountability—around the country to solve his political problems.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

h/t to @adammockler.com for pointing out this gem from 2016.

This DOGE boy dissolved my Fort Negley grants, taking money earmarked for descendant-led archaeology and oral history collection because he was given power that indulged the fact that he is too arrogant to see the value in the histories of Black Tennesseans and how they have shaped ALL of the US.

Husted: "People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right? I remember talking to one young lady who said, 'Well, I don't really know how money works at a grocery store,' bc she grew up & has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries"

This is how our tax returns should be sent in. Our tax dollars are Trump and Co.’s personal petty cash account.

I am a 60-something mother of three college-educated, Sunday School-raised children. On Monday I will start a new “cubicle job” **just to have health insurance.** I lost my affordable insurance entirely because of JD Vance’s political party. The Vice President can fuck alllll the way off.

The Democratic leaders in Congress have repeatedly shown that they have no interest in leading an effective opposition. They have no appetite for the legislative trench warfare this moment requires. They don't even have the will to speak about it clearly. They just want to be left alone.

Everything Trump is doing now (from from Portland to Minneapolis to Chicago) is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but I've been warning for months of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

South Carolina is making national news for all the wrong reasons. This time it’s a measles outbreak.

You pull yourself up by your boostraps. Me? I DESERVE free money from the government, and so do my rich friends bsky.app/profile/cwar...

Trump has one playbook:
When truth threatens him, he calls it a “hoax.” He did it with Russia, Ukraine, COVID, the 2020 election, E. Jean Carroll, and now 20,000+ emails, “The Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” If it’s all a hoax, why did real people suffer?

TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing. Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

It bears repeating that he literally only calls people of color "low IQ" it's just straight up gutter racism

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up. I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies. If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

We have almost 500 people registered in our small community outside of Los Angeles. Far more people than we have ever had before. We are excited and energized, yellow safety vests ready.

Liberal South Carolina Judge Diane Goodstein's home is burning to the ground after an explosion. SLED is investigation as arson and refer attack as Judge Goodstein had been receiving multiple threats.

I’ve been trying to explain to people the full extent of assfuckery accomplished by the ending of the de minimis rule Small businesses, independent creators, publishing companies, Etsy-style shops & just plain ol’ folks in the US trying to buy stuff from anywhere else are royally fucked

Aside from everything else, they’re pissing our tax dollars away on dragging National Guard troops away from their lives to participate in a stunt while they’re defunding food programs for kids and cancer research.

Trump wants us to forget his Epstein files cover-up so badly that he’s invading Washington D.C.

If the economy buckles under this crew...don’t buy the ‘oops’ narrative. They profit from volatility...chaos...and pain. And if you can’t afford rent or food...remember...it wasn’t an accident.

Crap. “The Rock” Is on USA Network tonight. I’m sure we’ll get a few more Trump quotes on Alcatraz at tomorrow’s presser.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

WHERE ARE THE TRUMP TWEETS TONIGHT??? LOLOLOL!

In their latest budget move, the White House wants to: -cut support for preschools and homeless kids -end programs that keep pesticides and toxic chemicals away from our families. -take money away from farmers. All so mega-rich Republicans can upgrade their yachts with tax handouts.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Mostly, I want democracy.

The news media is crowded with people who aren’t here to newsgather. They make no research or investigative contributions; just personalities whose job is comparable to pumping out youtube reaction videos. They’re entertainers, not journalists, and they’re paid 5x what decent reporters pull in.

We make about 1.4 trillion dollars on 600 billion in Chinese imports, this is going to put a shit ton of US businesses in the ground and shatter our economy. Good job you stupid maga dipshits.

A new Pope from Chicago needs a true Chicago introduction... 🔊

I am shocked. Just shocked. Do their last names start with T?

Why won’t any republicans stop this?

MEEKS: Does trade deficits constitute a national emergency? BESSENT: Yes MEEKS: Do you know that for the last four decades we have trade deficits and nobody said it was a national emergency?

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

I'm sure this is legal...

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.
