I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someone’s citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.

So like, what do we do?
* The most important thing we can do is keep people out of ICE custody. Join an immigration rapid response team in your area.
* Protest. Organize in your neighborhood. Figure out what needs doing.

Texas was devastated by deadly floods. In the aftermath, FEMA Acting Administrator David Richardson is nowhere to be found. In any other administration, this would be an epic scandal. But with Trump, it's treated as business as usual.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time
"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

The Trump administration has chosen not just to trivialize the danger presented by climate change, but to revoke funding for the very data collection and research that would help the country better understand and prepare for this moment.

The Texas Flash Flood Is a Preview of the Chaos to Come
Climate change is making disasters more common, more deadly and far more costly, even as the federal government is running away from the policies that might begin to protect the nation.

There’s a movie about this that I would recommend to the folks at the NYT. Maybe they’ve heard of the filmmaker’s son? Zohran Mamdani?
Honestly, the NYT siding with Idi Amin and saying that Indian-Ugandans are not Africans is not something I saw coming.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

🚨 A contact reached out to let us know the #Minneapolis VA has had a mass exodus of anesthesiologists. This has caused the #VA to be unable to keep up with surgery cases, leading many to be sent out into the community. The community healthcare system already struggles with staffing.

Nothing like a little “creative accounting” to push a $3.3 trillion tax cut for the rich. Republicans are using an accounting gimmick to make it look like their tax plan doesn’t add to the deficit. Can’t pass it honestly? Just cook the books.

If the DOJ can make a case against de-naturalizing a citizen then why not allow someone to have an attorney? Stripping away rights only leads to abuse and victims setup by others to CREATE reasons for deportation that might not be true!
