We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

Instead of building concentration camps we could feed and provide healthcare to people. Bigotry is a cancer that’s been allowed to metastasize far too long in this country.

Waking up to insanity this regularly is why I find forgiving Trump voters nearly impossible.

Imagine having your whole crimes against humanity impunity ride on the health of an unpopular near 80 year old in the throes of obvious cognitive decline and possibly vicious incontinence.

Really is hard to feel consistently motivated when I wake up daily to the realization that we have a mad king that could end all life on the planet because someone hurt his feelings.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Rep. Walkinshaw leaving today’s ICE hearing: “All of this comes from Stephen Miller’s sick, twisted, deranged Great Replacement Theory.” He says when Dems have the majority they will subpoena Miller to testify: “If he doesn’t he will end up in prison for contempt.” @pabloreports.bsky.social

Tariffs are showing up on your bill hidden in the price of products that are significantly higher now than they were before tariffs. Imported agricultural machinery cost more. Businesses aren't taking the big hits; they're passing most of the tariffs to customers/consumers.

Think it’s important to point out that while he may have the DOJ under his thumb, he most decidedly does not have the courts.
We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

You simply cannot convince me that he doesn’t need to be reminded what year it is with alarming frequency.
Trump: "Reagan was not good on trade ... he had the big shootout with Japan and he folded, and they came in and took our car market ... every president we had over the last 50 years was bad on trade. Every single one. But I'm real good on trade."

there are two things about this, one is that there is no prime minister of switzerland, he's talking about the president of the swiss confederation, which is a different thing entirely, and, two, i'm not sure you could make a more persuasive case to SCOTUS for nuking tariffs than this one
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

For perspective, that would be like 1/4 the size of Washington, D.C.
Trump: "I'm letting everybody that builds a plant build their own electric plant. So they're building a massive plant that's 4 miles long by 4 miles wide, and I'm letting them build electric plants. Some are nuclear, some are oil and gas, some are coal as a backup just in case."

Once again, he doesn’t understand that he can’t gaslight people’s bank accounts.
Trump: "I'm popular and I've done well. I think we have the greatest economy, actually, ever in history. We have to get the word out."

Donald Trump doesn't even attempt to fake concern for the national good, he is focused only on power. He doesn't want a third term, he doesn't want another election.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

He is clearly in the latter stages of dementia. Republicans and the media know this. It’s terrifying that they’ve let it get this far. Does he need to throw his shit at someone before this is taken seriously?

Q: Can you explain why Trump asked Schumer to help him rename Penn Station and Dulles Airport after himself?

Republicans always come up with a solution in search of a problem.
Rep. Zach Nunn on voter ID: "It ensures we have fair elections, and that we know the results can be successful ... it helps to enfranchise the voter population"

Won’t happen under this admin, but I’d vote for whoever promises to lock up the people who worked with Epstein after his initial conviction and confiscate their money. We’d wipe out so many billionaires overnight.
