Andrea is one of over 170 U.S. citizens who have detained by ICE. It should never have happened, and we will hold Kristi Noem and the Trump Administration accountable.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.
Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.
Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Just incredible the scale of peaceful rallies today in the midst of all the tensions and chaos Trump has deliberately stoked.
No matter how much Trump and those who share his authoritarian desires create mayhem and conflict, the American people still showed up at our patriotic best. #NoKings

Every one of these is more important than the mental acuity of the former President. We are in trouble. Focus.

When you are partnered with America's enemies, this is what you do: you reveal war plans against a country to an individual tied to that country; and you place the US military in the hands of an incompetent.
"If a foreign country was to learn how the United States planned to fight a war against them, it could reinforce its defenses and address its weaknesses, making the plans far less likely to succeed."

Musk Set to Get Access to Top-Secret U.S. Plan for Potential War With China
Giving Elon Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets is a major expansion of his role as an adviser to President Trump and highlights his conflicts of interest.

Watching #NCAAGym on a Saturday night in primetime on FOX, with a packed arena and electric energy, was already incredible. Then, a commercial comes on featuring a college gymnast representing a national brand. This is a moment. The recognition these athletes deserve! 🚀🔥 #gymnastics #gymternet

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
