This will devastate millions of families who rely on these services to survive. Make no mistake: this has nothing to do with supposed "fraud" or any other excuse Trump whips up. This is about enacting revenge on states that stand up to him and his cruel agenda.

Walz: "They're unwilling to stand with Melissa Hortman's children. And I want to tell you this: for those legislators who went and shed crocodile tears at her funeral, shame on you. Shame on you. Her children are asking you to do one thing in her name: tell the president to stop doing this."

US President Donald Trump has been discussing "a range of options" to acquire Greenland, including use of the military, the White House said. Trump is completely unhinged www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The gov't has filed a motion to dismiss the class action Broadview ICE facility lawsuit for containing too many "impertinent" details about detainees. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71832...

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19. More from Democracy Docket in am. www.democracydocket.com

JUST IN: DOJ says it has finished reviewing *less than 1%* of the Epstein Files for potential release. Only 12,285 documents have been released while more than 2 million remain under review. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Why does it take more than one?? One is too many.

It makes me wonder what he's like at home. Does he get his way by yelling the loudest?

Why wasn't the first NATO attack enough to say stop?

From fighting for the middle class and ensuring free school meals for students, to expanding affordable health care access and protecting reproductive rights — Gov. Tim Walz has delivered historic results for Minnesotans.

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

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Not being reported my mainstream media: Protesters outside White House against Trump regime illegal action against #Venezuela #VenezuelaProtests #NoWarWithVenezuela #EpsteinFiles #Maduro #NoWarForOil #FightFascism #FascismInAmerica youtu.be/WQANbOYb1Qc?...

Are you available today?

I think European leaders in failing to condemn the US invasion of Venezuela out of some fear of provoking Trump’s ire are missing the point that (a) Trump clearly doesn’t care what they think anyway, (b) Trump couldn’t hold them in more contempt anyway. /1

The War Powers Act (officially the War Powers Resolution of 1973) is a U.S. federal law intended to limit the President's ability to commit American forces to armed conflict without Congressional approval, reasserting Congress's constitutional power to declare war. www.congress.gov/crs-product/...

Reminder: Invading a sovereign nation is illegal under international law, as written in Article 2(4) of the UN Charter--a charter that the US played the key role in writing and which was enacted into US law on July 28, 1945. Trump is an international and US war criminal.

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

"Oil will pay for occupying Venezuela," just like Mexico is going to pay for the wall and tariffs pay for themselves.

HERE is the newly unsealed superseding indictment against Maduro, his wife, and others: www.justice.gov/opa/media/14...

Today is the 15th day after the Epstein Files Transparency Act required DOJ to file a compliance report with Congress. Discussed here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up and reassert its power. No more forever wars.

DOJ is still in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

OF COURSE Trump is using Venezuela to distract Americans from inflation and Epstein. Also to steal their oil But the point is, although he had plenty of time to formulate a plan, Schumer was totally unprepared to do anything about it

We are sure it’s just a coincidence, but today is the statuatory date for the DOJ to explain its redactions in the Epstein file productions. We have not forgotten, and we won’t let up - regardless of the President’s new unconstitutional actions.

Unfortunately, this.

He'll start a war to: 1. Distract from the Epstein Files 2. Steal oil 3. Justify emergency powers 4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment 5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

What is the War Powers Act? Officially the War Powers Resolution of 1973, is a U.S. federal law intended to limit the President's ability to commit American forces to armed conflict without Congressional approval, reasserting Congress's constitutional power to declare war.

Following very closely the situation in Venezuela. We stand by the people of Venezuela and support a peaceful and democratic transition. Any solution must respect international law and the UN Charter.

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

I don’t want to live in a Christian country I want to live in a country where i have the right to choose to be a Christian - or a Muslim, or a Buddhist, or a Jew or an atheist.

Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.

Staying within the bounds of what is legal and ethical, what would people like to see happen with Donald Trump?

#OTD in 1961, in his Emancipation Day address “The Negro and the American Dream” in Savannah, GA, Dad reminded us: freedom is earned through courage, sacrifice, and love. He called on all to challenge injustice, embrace nonviolence, and work toward true equality.

A Utah-based federal judge has orderd the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a man who administration officials acknowledge was deported in violation of a court order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I’ve authorized the National Guard to support emergency winter storm operations as we work to alleviate dangerous conditions on the roads. Grateful to those who are answering the call to help our neighbors and get drivers home safely.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
