Elon Musk is planning to steal your Social Security benefits any way he can—whether by cutting them or just making it much harder to get them. All so he can give himself and his billionaire friends a $4.5 TRILLION tax cut.

❗️ EU intel reveils Russia’s “peace” terms: Trump’s 100-day peace plan is unrealistic, the war won’t stop before 2026, occupied territories must be recognized, Ukraine must abandon NATO, Kyiv’s govt must change, and Russia demands a buffer zone and a demilitarized South.

This is the state of the media today:

If you state the simple, obvious truth—that the president of the United States is mentally unstable and engages in mentally unstable behavior injurious to the nation and the world—you have to fear for your job.

Pathetic.

Every damn day, the GOP bows down to President Musk's illegalities. They've proven themselves to be feckless traitors to the cause of liberty.

If Dems want to emerge from these nasty Trump years with any semblance of our democracy intact, they must take a stand!

All of this—the detention without any judicial sign-off, the ability to threaten a green card without any underlying criminal charges, the private detention—is characteristic of a national security state.

To stuff like this, I sometimes get the retort from gop operatives or lawmakers that “well, DACA was unconstitutional” and if you actually want to compare that to anything going on, you might as well be comparing apples to tyrannical, living, damsel in distress attacking apples from horror movies

Took a quick peek and what I see is cruelty and intent to choke off functioning ACA marketplaces. Prohibiting coverage of "sex-trait modifications," eliminating the Special Enrollment Period for...incomes below 150% FPL; removing DACA recipients from the definition of “lawfully present,” $5/mo fees

If finalized, these rules would result in a lot fewer people enrolled in Marketplace coverage, more hurdles to enrollment, higher out-of-pocket limits, etc.

From @annacat.bsky.social, a story of two people that have been picked up under the Trump admin in recent weeks despite having legal status. In one case, a Border Patrol agent arrested a DACA recipient after claiming that a person can't have a work permit without having a visa (total nonsense).

Among the immigrant groups whose legal status Trump has either already rescinded, or is trying to:
-Venezuelans with TPS
-Haitians with TPS
-Ukrainian parolees
-Dreamers (Trump tried to kill DACA in 1st term)

Trump's immigration crackdown is not about law & order. He has a vendetta against immigrants who followed the law, too
His EOs threaten to punish legal immigrants by doubling their taxes (invoking a never-used 1934 law); expatriating their kids; and blocking them from the US entirely
