The government has effectively been shut down for months as Trump has destroyed checks and balances, usurped the power of the purse from Congress, and unleashed an authoritarian nightmare throughout the country.
Why would any Democrat vote for any continuing resolution that allows this to continue?

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home.
We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

Trump is proposing a $1 trillion military budget.
Roughly half of US defense spending goes to private military contractors, with investigations finding that these companies routinely price-gouge.
Oh, and the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
"Fiscal responsibility."

A video that says everything about this regime.
A Newark Mayor attempting to visit a detention facility opened in his city without permits is handcuffed and detained by agents.
Apparently Ras Baraka is now being held at the local ICE field office.
Authoritarianism.

We’ll have estimates later today, but small towns are really showing up. You can tell, it’s catching local media off guard. Reporters are like, “Wow, we didn’t expect this kind of turnout here.” As for the comments on those stories, ignore the usual MAGA noise.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

This man lives in a world where loitering in a Home Depot parking lot (the only thing Kílmar Ábrego García has ever been arrested for) is “terrorism,” while the US government is paralyzed into inaction by its deep respect for the sovereignty of a Central American nation.

This is important.
At Law Dork, I wrote about that Oval Office visit — and what it means:
Trump told us the horrifying reason why Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not back in the U.S.
The Trump administration wants to send Americans to foreign prisons. Keeping Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is key to that lawless plan.

When he says “home-growns”, he’s talking about US citizens. He wants Bukeke to build more torture prisons in El Salvador for Americans. Not me saying it, Trump saying it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause.
And what did Republicans in the House do today?
They passed a budget resolution that paves the way for more tax cuts for the rich.
"Party of the working class."
