Hey @schumer.senate.gov

Democrats are “considering” forcing clerks to read the entire megabill on the floor?!

This shouldn’t be optional. Force the full bill reading.

No more “I didn’t know what was in it” excuses. Make every Senator sit through it and own it.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social
DEMOCRATS—hell yes, do it‼️

Force the full bill reading on the floor. No more Senators pretending they didn’t know what was in it when they voted.

📌 Senate Dems may make clerks read the entire budget bill out loud. Good. People want fight—this is one way to show it.

So we're paying $500K a month for Homan's Security Detail & another $500K for his Masked Thugs' salaries, hotels, airfare, etc., ... so much for getting rid of government waste🙄

Border czar Tom Homan's security detail costs around $1 million a month
By the end of the year, taxpayers may have paid around $12 million for Tom Homan's security.

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

It is SO unusual for the Supreme Court to issue an order this late at night and honestly incredible only Thomas and Alito noted their dissents.

Also fascinating that SCOTUS rushed out the order before Alito could finish writing his dissent. That basically never happens! Again—majority seems pissed.

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today?

And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.
It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison *without due process* is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him.
