“We’re living in the manifestation of Project 2025.” Just 8 months into Trump’s presidency, a significant amount of Project 2025’s policies are in effect. And now, “they’re gonna do it all over again” warns @goangelo.bsky.social in conversation with @davidpepperoh.bsky.social #Velshi
We warned you about Project 2025. Well, it’s here…
Day by day, Project 2025 is being written into existence by the Trump administration and its allies in Congress. And there’s another plan in the works as conservatives prepare to “do it all over again,” says Angelo Carusone, chair and president of Media Matters for America.

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.
Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

It's beyond outrageous what Trump has done to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. And it's all because he became the most prominent illustration of how the amoral, sadistic, lawless, mendacious, and authoritarian thugs who today control our federal government seek to destroy our constitutional order. ...
Today I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The courts & public outcry forced Trump to return him to MD, but Trump’s cronies keep lying about his case & are engaged in a malicious abuse of power to try to deport him to Uganda.
As I told Kilmar, I won’t stop fighting for justice & due process for all:

Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984.
The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.

I think Cuomo and Adams are too scared to go out on the streets because THEY are the criminals. Streets in my neighborhood (West Greenwich Village) this weekend were packed with folks out enjoying the city in beautiful summer weather. Fight the dis-information! Keep truth alive!
In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"

Ok this is bad. She had a marijuana possession charge from 3 years ago in Texas and they’re using that to declare her “illegal”.
Saying she can either self-deport at her own expense, or she can wait in a men’s prison to fight her case.

If you had told me 30 years ago that Michael Luttig and Bill Kristol would have a clearer understanding about what's going on than a lot of Democratic leaders, I'd have wondered whether you tried the brown acid.
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.
