Time to end the coup
Trump's march toward authoritarianism is more like a sprint. Dems can't wait for the midterms. He needs to be stopped now.
Time To Play Hardball
It’s risky, but allowing Trump to remain unchecked is worse

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

This is one of the absolutely most interesting threads I’ve ever encountered on social media. Yes it about Mamdani but so much more
My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

The GOP passed a budget that will eviscerate health care in rural areas. They delayed much of the impact for after the midterms, hoping the public will think any discussion of the impending collapse is hyperbolic.
Local reporters have a chance to do service journalism that'll make a splash too.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., tells me he has no regrets standing up to Trump’s deficit-raising OBBBA. “I have raised $400,000 from 4,500 donors in the last 10 days for taking this principled stand.” He says other Republicans keep caving because “they're just afraid of Trump” — but he isn’t.

i'm not going to post anything more about Trump v. CASA because it is not the most important thing in the world, but I respectfully submit that this paragraph alone justifies all the derision directed at the Court and Justice Barrett
