I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

President Trump has signed 9* separate executive orders that herald sweeping changes to the immigration system and to communities inside the US. We broke down:
- What they do
- What's happened already
- What's to come
- What this all means.

Also, MULTIPLE COURTS have already determined that the policies in many sanctuary jurisdictions are lawful. There is already established precedent on this!
But again, the goal of these threats is not to produce wins in court, it's pure thuggery. With the name of the DOJ behind.

1. Per settled con law doctrine, state officials can’t be commandeered into enforcing federal law.
2. Noted liberal squish Antonin Scalia wrote one of the two major opinions setting out the commandeering doctrine.
3. The memo doesn’t mention this, because apparently federalism is for losers now.
NEW: Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove directed Justice Department attorneys to investigate and potentially prosecute local officials who refuse to enforce President Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Twitter amplifying UNPOPULAR views that help billionaires, and then suppressing POPULAR views that help the masses is quite literally psychological terrorism that disenfranchises us all. This is how the class war operates. It's cold, it's calculated, and it affects millions of us in harmful ways.

Trump spent an entire year gas-lighting MAGA base that "other countries" pay the tariffs. MAGA swallowed it whole.
NOW, businesses such as Walmart & others are having to put out a pre-emptive PR education posts trying convince MAGA that THEY will be paying the increased costs.
Too late!

Great thread. Thank you, David.
🚨 How did an 80-20 Trump county in rural Kentucky also turn out to be the most anti-school voucher county in the state?
I drove there to find out. 🛻
And the lessons I learned go way beyond the enormous value of public schools in rural communities.
