It is truly amazing how little scrutiny Stephen Miller gets—not because he’s an architect of Trumpism; that gives him too much credit. But because he is openly the most bigoted and malicious person there and he behaves and sounds like a petulant child.
Not even attempting to disguise it. the fact that this isn't an immediate death sentence for one's political life is an indictment of the whole of American politics and the press that enables it

Read Adrienne LaFrance's Atlantic article today "A Ticking Clock on American Freedom". Subhead: "It’s later than you think, but it’s not too late." By now it's clear that unless civil society steps up we WILL lose US democracy. The universities have gotten us past one critical stage. 8/

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

The SAVE Act is straight-up voter suppression.

Military ID? Doesn’t count.
Driver’s license? Not enough.
Overseas? Too bad—go find your birth certificate.

It targets Troops, spouses, and women—on purpose.

And they know it.

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

DOGE is cutting the jobs of federal employees who perform vital services, including those who had previously received glowing performance reviews. Meanwhile, "Signalgate" shows the level of incompetence you can get away with at the highest levels of Trump's regime. Hello?

Louis DeJoy may be gone, but Musk and Trump are still gunning to privatize the Postal Service.

That would mean higher postage prices, lower service quality, and the gutting of thousands of good-paying union jobs — all to enrich Wall Street investors.

We cannot let it happen.

Trump & Musk are:

-Lying about Social Security fraud

-Making destructive cuts to SSA staffing and phone-based services 

-Threatening the security of people's personal information by giving DOGE access to sensitive SSA data

Social Security is in crisis entirely due to them.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence

National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.

This won’t go well—we love our parks.

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills.

Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds.
