Trump and Musk are pursuing a massive, slash-and-burn austerity agenda, which will crush US economic competitiveness and would be bad under any circumstances. But because they could never pass a law for any of this, they're also overthrowing the constitutional system to do it

Trump goes after New York migrants in publicity blitz, but arrests were routine
U.S. President Donald Trump's new homeland security secretary made sure cameras were rolling when she joined federal agents to arrest migrants in New York City, including a Venezuelan man wanted by Colorado police that Trump had made part of his anti-immigration campaign narrative.

Every single word out of every single Democrat should be focused on Trump gutting Aviation safety.
Regardless of any truthful connection, this should be hammered relentlessly.
It’s what they would do.

Health insurance companies improve nothing about American healthcare.
Nothing.
Nothing.
The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

🧵 How do we know Trump is full of sh** when he shrieks about “hydrants running dry”?
Because in 2016, a horrendous wildfire hit Gatlinburg Tennessee.
Hydrants ran dry and 14 people died. A higher death toll than the LA Fires.
But Tennessee had a GOP governor, so newly-elected Trump posted:
