NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Democracy is not just voting in elections; it's not just institutions and laws.

Democracy is a spiritual practice.

It requires a deep love for our neighbors — especially our neighbors with whom we disagree the most.

Hundreds of people have vanished from ICE's system at the Everglades internment camp. Families don't know where their loved ones are. This isn't deportation, it's kidnapping.

That's why I introduced the SUDEM Act to hold ICE accountable and make this info public.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it? 

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism. 

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

The function of the American health care system is to make huge profits for the insurance and drug companies.

Not acceptable.

Our job is to fight for the U.S. to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a human right.

We all know that Newsom @governor.ca.gov knows how to play hardball.

He also reminds us that the real power ultimately lies with The People.

CA is leading the way; others will follow if we are loud about supporting those fighting for our democracy.

When we fight, we win, America.

Pass it on.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

They’re coming for Medicaid based on a lie about “waste, fraud, and abuse.”

FIGHT BACK. TAKE A STAND.
They’ll gut care for the poor, sick, elderly & disabled—just to feed billionaires tax cut.

Social Security will be next.
If we don’t stop them now, we’ll lose everything.

Medicaid Cuts Kill US‼️
