About to be a different game for ICE in Minneapolis come Saturday

The federal ICE surge in Minneapolis looks like it was designed to provoke violence. If that is their strategy, don't take the bait. Don't engage. Keep your distance. Let ICE freeze their butts off in the cold. They're not from Minnesota.

Congress will reconvene in one week.    When we return, we need four Republicans in Congress to stand with us and reassert that Congress, and only Congress, has the power to authorize military action against Venezuela.    The new year cannot bring a new endless war over regime change.

"The project has been more than ten years in the works, involved close coordination with the military...The project’s two pilot turbines have been operating for five years without causing any impacts to national security." - @dominionenergy.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2025/12/afte...

Congratulations solar not even Trump can stop you 😉

Did the administration dismantle cancer research because they were afraid we'd find a cure for Trumpism?

Is Trump going to have National Guard troops occupy Washington D.C.—until the Washington Commanders agree to change the name of their football team back to the Redskins? 'Cause that's the level of foolishness we're dealing with this Administration.

America is just hurting itself with tariffs. Other countries, like China, are just increasing trade with other countries.

The Trump EPA's idiotic decision to shut down research and revoke the basis of all federal actions to fight greenhouse gases is a punch in the gut. Americans won’t be deceived by Donald Trump's pathetic abandonment of science and the law.

U.S. Citizen, disabled veteran, George Retes (age 25) was disappeared by an ICE raid on Thursday. According to news reports, his family still doesn't know his whereabouts. And George Retes has not been permitted to talk to an attorney. His daughter turns three today. bsky.app/profile/news...

Any updates on U.S. Citizen and disabled Veteran George Retes, Age 25? Looks like a constituent that needs help. bsky.app/profile/news...

🧵A disabled U.S. veteran and citizen was violently detained during a federal immigration raid in Camarillo. George Retes, 25, works security at the farm where the raid took place. His family says he was not protesting—just trying to leave—when ICE broke his window, pepper-sprayed him & took him.

Holy cow this is a powerful chart! Capitalism is a golden goose but we have to do something with the gold other than make more gold.

Today’s decision out of Rhode Island isn’t getting a lot of attention, but it’s very important. Trump tried to withhold fed’l funds from states that won’t help with his immigration policy & mass deportations. A Judge just told him he can’t do that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

No Kings

The timing really matters. No tax on tips, etc., are all temporary provisions - and the cuts get deeper over time. 2030, roughly half the country loses or gets nothing.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Hello, Emoluments Clause violation. Article I, Sec 9, Clause 8 “No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State.”

The downgrade (the last of the three credit agencies to do so) is a clear sign that the House’s tax/spending package is a loser & must be redone to put our fiscal house in order, starting with taxes. See what a better start would look like (/end) www.cbpp.org/research/fed...

I think about this comic at least once a week

A wise creature once said, "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering." These days, when fear is all too common, today is a great moment to remember the strength in courage, unity... and hope. May the 4th be with you. Always.

Hope you get a do-over on missing the Senate vote to end the tariff tax. That vote went 49-49. You, Senator Whitehouse, could have actually put real pressure on Trump and the House GOP had you showed up to vote.

This seems bad. 👀 Trump's tariff war wiped out more value than the Great Depression and the entire federal annual budget—combined. Time for Congress to stop this madness.

Gov. Pritzker gets it. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is quickly becoming the leader of the resistance.

According to Moody's before the chips act was passed annual investment in US manufacturing was approximately $75 billion dollars and today it is over $200 billion dollars. Tax incentives work... Tariffs do not!

We started an unnecessary war that we are losing. No one wins a trade war. Like global thermonuclear war... The only way to win is to not play. Apparently no one in the Trump administration has watched war games 😉

President Trump has no authority to unilaterally impose his disastrous tariff agenda. These reckless tariffs have created economic chaos, skyrocketing everyday costs and inflicting billions in damages on the state, families, and businesses. We will be taking this to court.

1/ The Declaration of Independence Listed 27 Grievances. Several of King George's abuses seem particularly relevant today. King George: 1. Refused his Assent to Laws necessary for the public good. 7. Obstructed immigration and discouraged population growth.

Cumulative inflation since the Pandemic so far. This is the #1 priority for voters. And here is the long-term impact of Trump's global tariffs. NO ONE other than Trump wanted this. And absolutely no one in the world is going to benefit from it.

Agree. Can't have a single-point of failure blowing up businesses & people with tariff taxes. Trump invoked emergency powers to enact his tariff policies, despite the absence of an immediate crisis. Congress must take back its Article 1 power to lay & collect taxes & tariffs on our citizens.

There's a madman driving America off a cliff. Only Congress can save us now by taking back its Constitutionally-given power to tax American citizens through tariffs.

So far, Trump has lost $9 trillion in stock market value in an attempt to fix a $1.2 trillion trade deficit. It’s not possible to fully articulate the stupidity currently governing the USA.

Yes, businesses absolutely need to show the tariff at the checkout screen. Don't hide it into the cost of the product.

Nice to see conservatives starting to speak out. Donald Trump is not a conservative. He is not a Republican. He is megalomaniacal narcissistic cartoon supervillain playing out childish fantasies. And the entire world is paying the price.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Nationwide, we did that! ✊🏼 This is OUR country!!! Proud of every single person that made this happen today. We are the majority!

Donald Trump shot the economy in the foot — and now we're all going to suffer.

Nice to hear an expert economist speak on the insanity of Trump's tariff tax.

"I have spent all morning reading economist notes looking for anyone who has something good to say about this news. I found none." Lisa abramovich

FITCH: “This is a game changer, not only for the US economy but for the global economy. Many countries will likely end up in a recession. You can throw most forecasts out the door, if this tariff rate stays on for an extended period of time." 🇺🇸

Trump: "Why just have The Great Depression when we can have The Greatest Depression?!"

The indiscriminate #TrumpTariffs are batshit crazy. The tariffs will further tank the markets, increase prices on everyday goods and drive up inflation. Exactly what America does not need. The American people want lower prices, not chaos and increasing prices.

Throughout this trip, I have evoked the words and stories of President Lincoln — a staunch ally to the people of Mexico throughout his life and presidency. I don't use his name lightly. I feel strongly that this trip, at the moment we are in, is a continuation of his legacy.

Take a bow, @Benwikler.bsky.social, @wisdems.bsky.social, and Susan Crawford. David just took down Goliath standing on a pile of money.

'Ruffled some feathers': Wisconsin voters say Elon Musk 'rubbed them the wrong way' www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-wi...

My request for this week is that media outlets do not refer to Trump’s tariffs as “reciprocal” (except in scare quotes). None of our trade partners have tariffs on US goods anywhere near the massive 10-30% universal tariffs Trump is proposing He’s starting this not retaliating

all jokes aside, the idea of getting china, japan, and south korea to agree to literally anything is wild and speaks to just how much of a colossal disaster trump is internationally.

Elon Musk is flying in paid canvassers from Texas to knock on doors in Wisconsin for Brad Schimel. Susan Crawford's supporters are knocking on doors in their own neighborhoods—like the terrific folks of the Teal Team on Madison's West Side. Let's keep knocking till the polls close on April 1!
