Today, WH Border Czar Homan said California's Governor and LA Mayor Bass could be arrested if they interfered with ICE. This, after the arrest of a NJ Congresswoman & a Wisconsin Judge. This isn't what democracy is supposed to look like. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Add your name to the petition to demand the Office of Government Ethics investigate Trump, his family, the administration, and all members of Congress for any unethical recent market trades! sign.moveon.org/petitions/di...

REPORTER: The markets today are way down. The worst day in years. Because of the tariffs. So, how's it going?

TRUMP: I think it's going very well. It was an operation like when a patient gets operated on.

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.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

“WHERE THE HELL ARE THE DEMOCRATS????”

This @normornstein.bsky.social piece is a great blueprint for the action plan Dems need in these too interesting times. This is a CRISIS. It demands UNHESITATING ACTION

I implore @alsobrooks.senate.gov to vote "no" on the GOP's long-term CR. It provides no guarantee of getting Musk/DOGE out of Government (including illegally firing civil servants) and no guarantee that Medicare and Social Security will not be cut.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

This is the cowardice of the Washington Post. Legacy media is failing.

Nothing to see here.

Literally.

Download the Constitution because it no longer appears on whitehouse.gov.

When you search for it, a lot of other bullet point shit appears (ending birthright citizenship, etc).

🚨 WE IGNORE THIS AT OUR OWN PERIL 🚨

Trump's Corrupt Cabinet is the embodiment of everything that's wrong with our politics.

Billionaires and corporate special interests are calling the shots, while the rest of us are left to suffer.

#StopTheOligarchy

Today, the gospel of Christ was spoken as John the Baptist spoke to Herod. Today, the Right Rev. Marian Edgar Budde looked into the face of a president and spoke to truth with the courage of a gladiator who defied an emperor. May we all find a portion of her courage.
