Barb McQuade nails it. This needs to be THE theme going forward. Trump and his sycophants and tech bro oligarchs continue to enrich themselves, while the House gets paid for not working and insists that the poor work for basic subsistence. THIS IS THE PROBLEM! This is the message going forward!
“They were careless people … they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

This incident is spreading through Chicago running circles. A 67 year old man, driving back from a long run with his friends, is pulled from the car and thrown to the ground by ICE (or BP?) agents because he did... something.

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?
All while the US government is shut down.

Washington doesn't want you to know this… But there’s ONE WEIRD TRICK that ends inflation and recession risks. And I can share it with you TODAY if you act quickly.

Most folks just don't realize how many "local news" programs across the country are a prepackaged script from a right wing company with their own agenda.
Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Trump is itching for another fight that he can watch from the WH while eating another cheeseburger. You know what to do, Chicago. ✊️
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Great interview with JB!
Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are the two people taking it most directly to Trump these days, & they are clearly getting in his head. I asked Pritzker about this directly, as well as a series of Qs going to the Dem brand.

She speaks the truth in a way few have recently. She has bravely put a target on her back and fearlessly called out the weaklings on the other side.
Holy shit. This legit gave me chills.
Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote.
WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Answer me this: if Trump says he's "sealing" the border and deporting all the "criminal" immigrants, why then do we need to keep EXPANDING detention centers (concentration camps) and wildly expanding the budget for ICE? It sure sounds like he doesn't have much faith in his own immigration strategy!

Yes, the NYT actually thought this was worthy of their reporter's time and the precious space in their paper. This is how you normalize the cruelty and blatant power grab of authoritarianism. What the fuck do the brains at the NYT not get???

Andrew Weissman just said on MSNBC that the trump regime pressuring the University of Virginia to force their president to resign was being done "cavalierly". Probably the only thing in the news today that gave me a little chuckle.😊
