David Hearn: I went over and furnished my id and kind of before I knew it, I was being handcuffed and realized I was being arrested.

An ICE agent saying "I don't care" and preventing an innocent woman who's been shot from receiving medical care are not the words or actions of officers lawfully protecting themselves and the community. These are the words of sociopaths happy with murder.

“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money” In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview. (He also makes it clear new CBS chief Bari Weiss is in his pocket) #RIPCBS

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers. It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

Rep. @gabbysalinas on MEMPHIS elected officials suing @GovBillLee over Trump’s occupation: “We are either a state with laws or we are not… the deployment of the National Guard to Memphis is an abuse of power.”

20 billion with a b for Argentinia? What the hell? What about Medicare and Medicaid. But then look at the crazy ass budget for ICE! It’s all so wrong!

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Yeah we get it Gov Lee in Tn. The troops will just be in Memphis to intimidate and for you to suck up to Trump! I’m sure they will be there around election time too. 🤮🤬

A man who screamed “Kill ’em!” at police during the January 6 riot now works for the Department of Justice. And the DOJ says they “appreciate his contributions.” If you’re not chilled by that, you’re not paying attention. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-doj-ju...

Anne Applebaum: "If American media can’t convey how dangerous this behavior is—for our prosperity, for our health, for our democracy—then American media will eventually cease to exist." More from our convo in @status.news: www.status.news/p/anne-apple...

status.newsApplebaum on AutocracyAnne Applebaum warns that Sudan’s descent into chaos shows what happens when institutions fail—and why a free press is essential to prevent America from following the same path.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Phang: Where are Americans supposed to go now to get their news? They come here. They come to independent media because we are not controlled by corporate overlords. This is the place you have to come now—because mainstream media is showing that it’s too scared to stand up to Donald Trump.

Ah yes, I remember all those boisterous 2024 campaign events where Trump and all the Trump Republicans rallied crowds and voters with their inspiring pledges to destroy storm tracking and weather forecasting in America! USA! USA! www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Something that keeps running thru my mind is when I heard the speaker of the house saying a governor should be tarred and feathered. He says he’s a Christian. Hmmm I would say that’s really doubtful.

I’m 76 years old so maybe I won’t feel the worst of Trumps tentacle’s but I fear my kids and grandkids will. It won’t go away for a very long time I don’t think. It’s just a damn pity. Corruption at its worst.

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday. Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America. My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/authoritar...

adamkinzinger.substack.comAuthoritarian on ParadeDeploying soldiers against American cities while parading tanks through D.C.? This is the dictator playbook, page by page.

I know I should probably not be commenting on this again but that Joni Ernst thing makes me see red! Republicans are so damn interested in protecting a fertilized egg but not Medicaid because oh well people die. Omg! Iowa if you have a shred of decency you need to get her out of her position.

Oh I’m so sad Elon Musk is going away. KIDDING! What I’m really sad about is all the children and babies that have died and will die because of his chainsaw to USAID from hunger not to mention the people who needed lifesaving drugs. And really it was costing us so little.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that will cut billions of dollars from Medicaid. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people across the country, including more than 15 million people with disabilities. The Senate must reject this dangerous bill.

🚨 WALMART RAISING PRICES DUE TO TARIFFS “We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO says.

Trump on @JeffBezos caving on @amazon showing Trump’s tariffs as a line item because they’re a tax on consumers: “Bezos was great. He solved the problem very quickly. He did the right thing. He’s a good guy.”😕 Welcome to the oligarchy. 🇺🇸
