New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Democrats have no obligation to support a bill that not only funds the dystopian scenes we are seeing in Minneapolis but will allow DHS to replicate that playbook of brutality in cities all over this country.

Trump is acting like an international gangster.
The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.

Just as everyone predicted with the exception of Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last 3 knew they’ve been lying, not sure with Orange Caligula because he’s a moron and a liar so in his case it could be either one or both.

Thread— and with that, the rest of the world moves on with global trade and raises a middle finger to the US, thanks to Trump.
EC President Ursula von der Leyen: “This agreement (EU-Mercosur) sends a powerful message to the world:
“That we are choosing fair trade over tariffs, partnership over isolation, sustainability over exploitation.
“And that we are serious about diversifying our supply chains.”

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

As a toddler, one of my kids once had a meltdown over a salad spinner lid not fitting that went on for hours after it started, and there was seemingly nothing to do to stop it save ride it out.
This is remarkably similar to what US foreign policy feels like right now from inside the US.

Where are the discussions about invoking the 25th Amendment? Where are the cabinet members and senators confronting this dangerous reality? Are these cowards and sycophants going to just stand by if and when he pursues war with Europe?
Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.
