Fucking finally. Fight back against the bullshit framing that tries to make Dems responsible for everything. The GOP is *choosing* to create this kind of societal environment. They could stop it at any time. They have agency as well. They’re not fucking children (except when, well, you know)

You think that vast armed force is going to be used just for immigration? I doubt it. Watch for ICE duties to expand duties and for ICE to follow the pattern of militarization of police. Also watch it used as secret police against anything anti-ICE.

always struck by how everyone who screams “we’re full” citing the strain on services is also viciously opposed to the safety net

Imagine, just imagine, the response from the West if the Iranian government, in international waters, had rammed and then boarded a European ship, filled with European citizens, and taken them captive. But it's Israel, so it's all good. Our citizens don't matter.

*Open bribery *Masked armed officials arresting residents without warrants, citizens who try to intervene *Arrests for engaging in non-violent speech *Destruction of government capacities *Massive economic uncertainty and damage *Unprecedented targeting of government power against political enemies

I’m 100% serious when I ask this — how can any rational person not see how profoundly unhinged this guy is? Some days I consider whether he’s actually a performance artist running a massive psychological experiment. But we’re not that lucky.

this would be so funny if this guy wasn’t president

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Sen. Van Hollen: "I don't think it's ever wrong to fight for the constitutional rights of one person because if we give up on one person's rights, we threaten everybody's rights...Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead."

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"

These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

🚨 Big SCOOP 🚨 Tax revenue could fall by as much as **10%** this year, per sources, as taxpayers and businesses see the Trump admin as less likely to challenge tax cheats. That'd be **$500 BILLION** in lost revenue. It'd nearly double the tax gap in a single year.

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days. At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8248mFR/

I’ve personally viewed correspondence from a trade publication covering Washington warning that reporters are now ordered not to write the words “Musk” or “DOGE” & that the order is robbing stories of facts & context. Beyond Columbia & Paul Weiss it’s happening in quiet ways few even know about.

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points. She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine. “Deport Elon, Deport Elon!” Watch to the end…

This breaks my heart. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/gop-...

being the richest person in the world and the president of the united states can’t even stop this guy from continuing to crash out

Dictator shit

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

They're moving to classify constitutionally protected speech as terrorism. This is a five alarm fire.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The fundamental issue here is that a pissed off Democrat will arrange a boycott or a sit in or a protest and a pissed off Republican will load a box truck full of ammonium nitrate and nitromethane and detonate it next to the Murrah building

a liberal doing a boycott or a leftist doing a sit in or non violent occupation of a building all get called terrorists, a conservative shooting people or running them down with their car or blowing up a building is defined as let's not talk about that too much more of them might kill people

Lmao. Sad, but true. 😂

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

Democrats built their entire party structure on polite deference, seniority, and chasing bipartisanship—as opposed to elevating the most talented and passionate politicians. ...Leaving too many pale, stale (and, frankly, male) lawmakers in prominent positions.

Trump at the DOJ: "I believe that CNN and MSNDC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."

Don't forget Kirsten Gillibrand. www.gillibrand.senate.gov/contact/

No one ever made the world a better place by demeaning humans and restricting liberty.

Put another way: I’ve never had the sense that Yglesias has any actual values, just strategies. “Moderating” is a questionable strategy when you have no control over what “moderate” means and you’re just reacting to bad-faith fascists who will demand that you abandon value after value.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

So...never 😂

This is the hardest I laughed since Trump became president.

32% is generally cited as the MAGA hardcore that will support Trump no matter what. Those are the people who will blame Dems for literally everything, including things like Trump's tariff tax. You can ignore them. Basically EVERYONE ELSE knows this is would be a Trump shutdown.

New Quinniac poll: If there's a shutdown... 32% blame Dems 31% blame Republicans 22% blame Trump That's a majority blaming Trump and/or the GOP. Hang tough, Dems.

The only elections Democrats are losing tonight are their own eventual primaries.

The word for what Senate Democrats are doing right now is "betrayal." Not only are they voluntarily surrendering the only leverage they have, the leverage they have spent months promising to use against Trump, they're doing it while lying and pretending they want the opposite.

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty. Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

Trump: COLUMBA IS AWFUL Columbia: [slaps student] Trump: COLUMBIA IS ANTISEMITIC Columbia: [kicks student in groin] Trump: NO MONEY FOR COLUMBIA LOL Columbia: [punches brown student in nose] Trump: WE WILL CLOSE COLUMBIA Columbia: [reaching for another student] okay this time it will work

He's a corporate Democrat. Just like the rest of these scum. Stop supporting corporate Democrats and you'll start getting the outcomes you want.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Corporations used to pay Pinkertons to bust striking union members' heads but figured out it was cheaper to have cops do it on the taxpayers' dime.
