Paul Krugman interviewed Bobby Kogan on the Republican budget. They are cutting SNAP to $1.67 per person per meal when food costs are rising. I eat frugally. In April I spent $1.91 per meal. #federalbudget #SNAPcuts #frugaleating

The top priority of the next functional government has to be reforming the Privacy Act to prevent the use of personal data for reasons other than originally prescribed & to effectively ban database matching all but entirely.
CNN reports that the oligarch is building a "master database to speed-up immigration enforcement and deportations by combining sensitive data from across the federal government" with the help of Palantir, to create "targeting lists".

That all sounds very very bad.

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world.

Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior?

These people are unfit to govern.

🚨BREAKING: Trump's IRS nominee Billy Long just had his personal debt paid off by donors whose firms have business before the tax agency he’d lead, according to documents reviewed by The Lever.

If confirmed, Long would be able to do favors for the donors. www.levernews.com/trump-irs-pi...

New documents show Billy Long’s $130,000 personal debt was suddenly paid off by donors at firms policed by the tax agency he’d lead.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Catching up on things but the only reason this meeting was allowed to happen was due to massive public pressure.

YOU ALL DID THIS.

Now we keep up the pressure until we bring Kilmar, and all the others, home and due process is restored.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

So we can't provide healthcare because we're "broke."

We can't guarantee Social Security because we're "broke."

We can't fund education because we're "broke."

But we have $1 TRILLION for the Pentagon and $5 TRILLION for tax breaks that mostly go to the rich?

Give me a break.

And yeah, somewhere in the mire of the national unconscious, Democrats are the wives who are supposed to placate and Republicans are the husbands who expect appeasement.

1) Do something autocratic
2) Wait to see how people react
3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on
4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it
5) Illegally consolidate more power
6) Repeat
