Everyone should be concerned about this!
A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

This level of access is extremely concerning, and as someone who works in tech, not at all normal or needed. Bypassing standard security procedures with the sensitive data of virtually everyone in our country strikes me as incredibly reckless and irresponsible.
This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Under the far-right budget, people in WA-09 will see their premiums skyrocket, making it harder for families to afford basic health care. For a 60-year-old couple in WA-09, premiums would soar by nearly $17,000, a staggering 234% increase.

The SAVE Act is an attempt at voter suppression!
Whether you changed your name because you got married or any other reason, the SAVE Act could keep you and millions of others from being able to vote.
Tell Congress: Protect our democracy and reject this dangerous bill.

This ruling is a victory for the rule of law. President Trump has a constitutional duty to comply with this order.
