The Americans who will be hurt the most if Republicans let ACA tax credits expire? Those in red states. Democrats are fighting harder for Republicans' own constituents than their elected representatives are.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

However the Trump administration now tries to justify its strikes on private boats in the Caribbean, nothing it can say magically unlocks legal authority to use lethal force against civilians. Congress must rein in this egregious abuse of power.

Here it is. Trump's Gaza cease-fire deal just went up in flames. Reported just 12 minutes ago. Israel not only has suspended aid into Gaza but has launched a massive wave of attacks. Time Magazine is going to have to come up with a new cover of Trump.

So. Zero evidence of attacks on Israel. Videos of Israel continuing to attack Gaza. Israel blames Hamas. This all tracks. Is this peace? Are we peace-ing right?

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Israeli naval forces opened fire toward civilians off the coast of Khan Younis and Rafah in southern Gaza. At the same time, Israeli artillery and heavy machine guns are targeting areas east of Al Zaytoun, Al Shuja’iya, and Jabalia.

So much for peace.

25th amendment

Incredible. If you grew up in Indiana, you know what a big deal this is.

One of many, many reasons I protested today…

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation. youtu.be/9OBdjsGntQI?...

I saw Mitch McConnell was trending and I got my hopes up.

Your periodic reminder that Natasha Cloud has been the most consistently politicized + courageous player in the #WNBA. Black freedom, queer politics, wealth redistribution, anti-carceral organizing, Palestine liberation: she knows that real solidarity requires risk + sacrifice. She shows up. -God

Aww! Super sweet to see the league champs take time out of their schedule to support the burgeoning MNBA like this. ❤️

This isn’t new. It’s a tale as old as time. White men being rewarded for potential while everyone else has to prove, over and over, their lived experience, expertise, and excellence. What’s changing, though, is that the pattern is no longer hidden or tolerated.

Tim Walz: "Here's what I'd challenge Trump to do: find three soybean farmers who will stand with you and say that's okay. Just three. I challenge you to do that because you're not gonna find them."

The State Department said that it has revoked the visas of foreign nationals who had spoken out against Charlie Kirk. Senior officials within the department said they would move to deny or rescind visas for individuals who had criticized Kirk, this is a direct violations of the First Amendment.

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified. kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office. ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

In 2019 when I was interviewing for the job of anti-surveillance activist at EFF I was asked what is biggest civil liberties threat that no is talking about yet---and my answer at the time was Ring. Given the general climate and its capabilities, it's even worse now. Get. Rid. Of. Your. Ring.

A Canadian team winning the World Series this year would be 👩🏻‍🍳💋. But only if my Tigers get knocked out, of course.

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

Question: Why is Tish James being prosecuted in the Eastern District of Virginia, instead of in NY? Answer: You know why.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Calling out the BBC. Trump allowed Netanyahu to: Level most of Gaza into rubble Kill 18,457 Palestinian children Killed AT LEAST 68,000 Palestinians And torture the remaining Palestinians with starvation This wasn't about benevolence and compassion. This was about trying to save American aid.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution” THAT PART! Thank you, Judge Perry.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Trump calls for Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker to be imprisoned

Here is ICE pepper-spraying a priest. Can you imagine what the Right in this country would be like if a Democratic President's military police force violently attacked a Christian leader, unprovoked?

NEW: Bodycam footage shows that the Chicago woman shot by ICE after allegedly ramming agents with her car actually shows the OPPOSITE – the agent rammed HER, then jumped out, and started shooting. 😳 Sue him for everything he's worth. ICE too.

Fuck Gavin Newsom. I will never vote for him and you shouldn't either.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

And who says he’s a federal agent? He looks like a crazed Jan 6 rioter with a gun to me. No badge. No uniform. No name. Just hoping for someone to twitch so he can blow them away.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

“Multiple sources contacted by ESPN said Collier had relayed Engelbert's comments to them within several days of the February meeting.” Phee’s got receipts.
