The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Great thread on why we are where we are.
We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Reminder:

SDNY "was running an active investigation into Jeffrey Epstein[’s] ... coconspirators. In January [2025], SDNY prosecutors were ordered to transfer the Epstein case files to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. ... the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased."

Continue to be absolutely stunned at how Dems have totally dropped the ball on Steve Bannon's intimate personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Dems watched the House try to censure Stacey Plaskett this week for a few emails. Bannon had an ongoing relationship with Epstein for YEARS.

So it's not just Trump and Bondi running interference for pedophiles. Bessent is a key part of the Epstein coverup. I plan to seek Senate approval of my bill to force the Treasury Department to release its Epstein file in the coming weeks because we need to keep on following the money.

Commentators who are telling you that Bondi can just classify the files or withhold everything due to an investigation haven’t read the bill.

Begging people to watch my line by line breakdown of the bill so people understand the limitations.

Are you one of the people who is under the faulty impression that Pam Bondi can withhold all of the Epstein files pursuant to a sham investigation?

If so, you’re not going to want to miss today’s ResistanceLive.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Seriously. Nailed it.
TRANSLATING TRUMP SPEAK:
"FAKE NEWS" = THIS IS TRUE AND I HATE IT.
"LOW IQ" = THEIR INTELLIGENCE INTIMIDATES ME.
"HORRIBLE PERSON" = THEY TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT ME.
"WITCH HUNT" = I DID IT AND HOPED NO ONE WOULD FIND OUT.
"HOAX" = THIS IS A DAMNING INDICTMENT OF ME AND MY
ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.

Meet Bubba Saulsbury, son of Odessa oil industry magnate Dick Saulsbury. Also friend to Kash Patel and JD Vance. This is who the Epstein felatio email is rumored to be referring to. Not Bill Clinton.

Growing list of reasons Trump should step down:
- Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring
- Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment
- Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power
- Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy
Mike Johnson is really committed to covering up for Trump and Epstein

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Healthcare is a basic human right.

Food is basic human right.

Education, housing, clean air & water are human rights.

Using healthcare and food as leverage should be grounds for removal from office.

SNAP, Medicaid and the ACA are worth fighting for.

People will die without them.

This is absolutely horrifying.
"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

They pick on the weak.

They pick on the vulnerable.

They want it to look like an intimidating show of force.

There’s also something more nefarious behind it…. Which is that they’re counting on society to not care if a disabled person gets *more* disabled.

We need you to care.

Enough!
This is what Trump and Republicans are doing to CHILDREN and families with their fascist, racist policies. It is grotesque, ANTI-American and totally unacceptable.

We all deserve to live in America without fear. These heinous attacks by Trump’s ICE Gestapo must stop.

We must ERADICATE TRUMPISM.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.
