I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Pay attention: Senate Republicans are trying to ram through extreme anti-abortion judges right under our noses.

Their goal? A nationwide abortion ban.

I’ll keep fighting back against nominees that want to take away our freedoms.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

We bombed Iran without congressional approval and I still have chores and work and kids in sports and supper to make.

Living through autocracy and another possible forever war while living day to day is wild.

Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

WATCH: “Here’s the big scary LA protest — look: you don’t see the cops or the National guard here… are there any fires or chemical smoke? Wonder why that is.”

The people are peaceful. Law enforcement is doing the escalating. Intentionally. This has always been Trump’s plan.
