Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him?
Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens.
This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬
Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Never forget this. As the markets tank, as a recession looms in our future…they will somehow blame Biden. However, the GOP has had the power all along.

Why seeing trade deficits as a problem is silly. We buy $150B of stuff from Vietnam and they buy $10B from US.
Taxing ourselves 50% on Vietnamese goods doesn’t make them buy more things from us. We will simply buy less from them and pay huge taxes on what we do buy.
It’s so fucking stupid.

I love that @booker.senate.gov is filibustering to protest pretty much everything — Trump, Musk, disregard for rule of law, disregard for wellbeing of Americans. How long can he talk? Overnight and into tomorrow. More than long enough to get some attention. He's already trending.
Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.
The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.
