AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

IDEA: Stop covering politics like its a fucking sporting event.
The GOP spending cuts don't provide an "opening" for Democrats to attack. They are either going to harm people or not. Journalism is supposed to be about informing people.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Donald Trump just illegally fired two independent commissioners at the FTC who fight big corporations that abuse consumers and workers.
Why? Trump's billionaire donors expect a return on their investment. He works for them, not you.
The courts must reinstate the commissioners.

The last report from the administration we heard was < 300. Now it's more than 500 and that number is guaranteed to increase.
My constituents along with Virginians across the commonwealth are losing their jobs while the Governor prioritizes ostracizing trans kids instead of fighting for our feds.

At least 501 Virginians have made initial UI claims tied to federal employers. The count comes as the federal government's plans to slash jobs remain hazy — and as economists and policymakers try to plan for the possible economic fallout. via @jahd.bsky.social

"A Republic, if you can keep it" is not some idle truism, it is the zeroth law of democracy: a people who cannot or will not rule itself cannot be a democracy.
Mind boggling that we're literally having the exact crisis the framers were afraid of. It's the societal equivalent of getting scurvy as a normal person in a modern society

Tonight I’m joined by Doug, a National Science Foundation employee who was recently fired.
Doug was working to bring more scientific research money into the United States.
Firing him is the opposite of efficiency.

First, the activist ‘overreach’ mostly consisted of low-stakes, cherry-picked anecdotes. The police were not defunded. Words were not banned. White men were not barred from college.
The backlash is responding to the *possibility* of social change, not actual change.

The elite press, by refusing to discuss any fact that is too negative for Republicans, has made it possible for Republicans to engage in open corruption and authoritarianism, because they know the worst that will ever happen is that "scholars will say this raises questions," which already happened.
