Do not cave. There will never be a vote on the ACA subsidies. Anyone who votes for it is just another sycophant enabling Trump's authoritarian regime.

This is dangerous.
This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

This is definitely an authoritarian move. Our country is in deep trouble with this administration's actions.
Under the DC Home Rule act, Trump is allowed to federalize DC police during an emergency (which doesn’t exist right now), but only for 48 hours. This can possibly be extended to 30 days with notice to Congress, but it’s also subject to judicial review.
Trump announces he's placing the DC police department "under direct federal control" and deploying the National Guard in the city

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

I had a REALLY lovely time talking to @milesklee.bsky.social at Rolling Stone about why The Onion is thriving.
It's because we're one of the only legacy outlets unafraid to accurately reflect the mood of this country.
That mood? Everyone fucking hates this.

![We want to be able to say stuff that other people, for institutional reasons, can’t say, or they’re too afraid to say.
You may be the only CEO in America making that promise.
We’re in a unique position, certainly. And other places have to learn from this — being afraid all the time and just constantly making transactional moves. How long can you survive like this? What is even the point of being alive if you’re just gonna continue managing rot? And it seems like that’s what 98 percent of people are doing in these media companies right now. I don’t know, take a chance. Nobody likes what’s happening. Especially if you’re a journalism company or a media company, you’re [meant to be] actually reflecting what people want or what people believe. So get some guts and do something interesting. It’s not that hard.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreihhqahdsympkilcsdqyztdudygmevh2ioksi2kzbtdo7kbilcnalu@jpeg)

THIS us exactly why our beloved democracy is so endangered. This administration is packed with unqualified,uncaring sycophants.
This is extraordinary. The Secretary of Homeland Security doesn’t know what the right of habeas corpus is (the ancient right to go to court to challenge government detention) and offers an incoherent definition which suggests she thinks it’s a presidential power to deport people?
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect

We spend $800 billion a year on our military yet our greatest enemy lives in the White House and we fly him to his own golf course for play dates on the weekend.
We also fly him abroad to facilitate his emoluments violations while we fly others to concentration camps.

This is outrageous! Who determined Afghanistan is safe for women and children? Women have no rights under the Taliban. Part of Project 2025 and the Authoritarian regime to Make America White Only. They should be ashamed.
NEW: As the Trump admin is flying Afrikaners here today to be resettled as "refugees," @Sec_Noem is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting women and allies who protected our troops to the Taliban to be persecuted or killed!

KILMEADE: Do you worry that if they Qataris give us something like this that they'll want something in return?

This is insane, and basically a way to encourage federal workers who support the president to bully those who don’t
My god, Trump admin has altered Hatch Act rules so that it is OK for federal employees to display campaign paraphenalia on the job -- but ONLY for the current President/VP, not for any challengers.

A reinterpretation of the Hatch Act announced by the administration lets officials wear campaign paraphernalia like MAGA hats, and removes an independent board’s role in policing violations.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."
