This did not age well.
Our Democracy was in critical condition three months ago. That was when to use our power. But Schumer lives in a bubble. And now we have full blown fascism.
Why is he silent on the concentration camps?!

WATCH: Schumer says "our democracy will be at stake" if Trump disobeys the Supreme Court—but "we're not there yet."

People will die because of what she did today. Many many. It is a stain that will not wash off. And every single Republican in the Senate has it on their hands too. They chose billionaires over their constituents, excess over vital necessities. They're monsters.

"They took hospitals and health care away from you so they could build concentration camps for immigrants."
I know that Medicare/ Medicaid is Democrats’ native language & what they’re happiest speaking but I’d love for SOME prominent person to try the line “they increased the debt limit by $5 trillion in order to triple size of ICE & make its detention center bigger than the whole federal prison system.”

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes.
The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere.
The site is a textbook concentration camp.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

Anyone out there ever work in Treasury Payments? I'm curious if this is actually the case:
The Secure Payment System (SPS) employs a strict separation of duties as a core security measure.
The point of the ? Is to know how many people are required to approve a payment and where are they located

"The end game for Musk seems to be just as it was with Twitter: seize a polarized, inefficient institution; fuse his identity with it; and then use it to punish his enemies and reward his friends. DOGE is a moon-shot program to turn the government into Musk’s personal political weapon."
I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)

Fyi, Ghislaine Maxwell helped Musk connect with the much younger British actress he married a couple of times. If you want to go after Elon dig into his Epstein ties, he’s super sensitive about them. Ditto Trump for that matter but I guess that ship has sailed (thanks Bill Barr).
