I’ve been trying to keep this post in the forefront of my mind whenever they pull wild stuff. It helps keep me focused. Writing more postcards today.
Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.

She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

I’m hoping that all of the transphobes who justify their unfounded views by claims of “protecting children” keep that same energy in the face of the release of today’s Epstein files.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary brought his teenage kids to Epstein’s island after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with minors. The way he lists the kids’ ages is creepy af.
But the new Epstein files show a series of subsequent interactions. That included this email from Lutnick about bringing his family and others to visit Epstein at his private island, Little St. James.

Many people are asking "why don't other politicians do this" and the answer is BECAUSE they don't want you to understand this shit and they want you to just trust they know what they're doing when they're secretly fuck you over. Look at the funding bill!

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Utah voters have the power to refer a piece of legislation to the ballot and then reject it. They can do that here. They should!
The Utah Senate has passed a bill that would expand the state supreme court by 2 seats (to be filled by the GOP governor).

This comes as local conservatives are angry about judicial decisions in Utah, inc. one that safeguarded direct democracy in 2024 & one that struck down their gerrymander.

Just going to note, yet again, that our entire National Conversation™️ about Congress & ICE is about What Democrats Must Do, while the actual people in Congress - all of whom are Republicans - who can really Do Something are getting Total Free Passes from the media & the online commentariat. Focus.
I'm also going to keep banging the drum that in Washington could end almost all of this immediately, by fulfilling their oaths & caucusing with the Democrats, & we should stop giving them every day & laser focus on that:

Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

This. They are turning the wealth the American people have created over generations into cash for their own dirty pockets. It’s obscene.
MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts,
subsidies & tariff waivers. It’s griftapalooza at taxpayer expense for the gangsters.

the practical effect of arresting lemon et al is to spark widespread condemnation, especially since these arrests will certainly be thrown out. this doesn't mean the action isn't a dangerous escalation, it does mean the white house doesn't know what to do but spam its only attack
