Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I find it disturbing that I was disinvited from @sethmoulton.bsky.social’s event, along with another social worker, after donating money to his campaign. I guess I can’t purchase the chance to talk to my congressman. Or maybe my $25 just didn’t go far enough? #mapoli

US state department stops issuing visas for Gaza’s children to get medical care
Program providing key aid halted after complaints from Laura Loomer, the far-right influencer close to Trump
The US state department announced on Saturday that it would stop issuing visas to children from Gaza in desperate need of medical care after an online pressure campaign from Laura Loomer, a far-right influencer close to Donald Trump who has described herself as “a proud Islamophobe”.
“All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days,” the state department said in a message posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, which Loomer was banned from before it was purchased by Elon Musk.

The thing that people need to understand about #TaylorSwift is that she is a person, but she is also a brand. And we need to convince her that being silent on genocide is bad for her brand.

Treating Executive Orders as law is another autocratic constitutional amendment that's being effected by widespread fear and judicial surrender
That said, I want to offer an important caveat that all of you probably already know: an EO is not a law, even if many authorities are currently treating them as such. So we shouldn't just accept whatever is asserted in them.

NEW: The govt says it plans to begin proceedings to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to an unnamed third country (not El Salvador, where an immigration court found he is in danger of persecution) once he is released from TN criminal custody (as soon as tomorrow).
Judge Xinis: What info can you tell me about DHS's intention once Abrego is released by the criminal court?
US: He will be taken into ICE custody, and removal proceedings will be initiated.
Xinis: Removal to El Salvador or a third country?
US: A third country is my understanding

Last night, Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.”
This morning, JD Vance says we will “permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years.”
Which is it? Sounds like more endless war against the will of the American people.

At the #NoWarWithIran rally at the state house in Boston. I’d estimate there are at least 250 people here. Not bad for 7 pm on a Wednesday. The American people do not want this.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.
