They are calling it the cutesy “Alligator Alcatraz.” The Florida GOP is selling themed merch. We all need to call it what it is. Everglades Concentration Camp.

Impeachable quotes. What a time to be alive.
REPORTER: Why is it important for Elon Musk to have access to the payments systems at Treasury?
TRUMP: Well, he's got access only to letting people go that he thinks are no good, and it's only if we agree with him

Sen. Schatz is doing his part. You can do yours: Call his DC office at (202) 224-3934, talk to the human who actually answers, and leave a message of thanks. I just did.
"WHERE ARE THE DEMS?????"
HERE!: Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) is taking *real* action to defend our democracy and our Constitution. He's gumming up the Senate until Trump reverses his lawless assault on foreign aid.
Schatz: "I will do maximal delays until this is resolved."
THIS is how we fight. 🥊

Ask any involved Democrat, and they will tell you they want to see more "Jasmine Crockett and AOC" type of fighting back and less of the "Adults in the Room" parlance of Chuck Schumer. Listen to the people who are involved Democratic Party.

It is my deep—and deeply ironic—privilege to mansplain the state of the ERA over 27 posts.
Since President Biden took the bold step on Friday of declaring the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) the law of the land, a lot of armchair lawyers and partisan warriors have opined that his action was invalid or performative. They're wrong. Here's why. Buckle up. 🧵
