RTs appreciated.
My name is __. My zip code is __. I am calling as your constituent to express alarm at the Abrego Garcia case. Trump is openly defying the Supreme Court by not bringing Garcia back. If you allow Trump to do this, then he is unquestionably a dictator, and your job as my member of Congress is to remove him at once.

(For Reps:) I ask that you immediately introduce Articles of Impeachment in the US House, and block all other business until they are introduced.

(For Senators:) I ask that you block all business in the Senate until Articles of Impeachment are introduced in the US House, and when they pass the House I expect you to vote to impeach. Thank you.

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.

Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So here’s how it’s going to go down—this is going to be very rough. But the big wake-up call is for our American friends.

For example, Kentucky—the number one purchaser of Kentucky spirits in the world is Canada, and all our provinces have just pulled it off the shelves.

News accounts of this (not @atrupar.com, w his chronicling service) need to point out that Trump's claim is LIKE HORSE MEDICINE FOR COVID.

-The water he "opened up" goes NOWHERE NEAR LA.
-Rain has brought LA fires under control.
-This water is stored for dry summertime and IS NOW WASTED.
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Feb 3
Trump: "I opened up the water for California. It's a great thing. It's too bad they didn't do it themselves. I had to do it and it was not easy. We did it a very rough way. And I didn't like to do it a rough way, we shouldn't have to do it a rough way."

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.
X post: Elon Musk @elonmusk We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead. U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means. The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy. First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition
