Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

The current Occupant of the White House is suing every American for $10 billion dollars. FYI, that includes those who voted for him as well. I BLAME EVERY ELECTED ENABLER IN CONGRESS FOR ALLOWING THIS TO CONTINUE.

So TELL it like it is. Get the files. Where are our lawmakers? They have the authority and the ability. Why are they impotent? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

The LAPD whenever they think no one can see

We also have to remember that Trump runs his administration like a mob boss. And one of the things mob bosses always do is threaten the families of anyone they want to control. It would not surprise me if mobster style death threats have been made against most of the Republicans in Congress

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID. When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.” That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping. This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

@maddow.msnbc.com Burlington Iowa today. 140 people fighting to save democracy

I did not think this was real

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

"Apparently"? You should absolutely go arrest those very real 25,000 people right now. You have their addresses. Go! In fact, if you *don't* find every one of these absolutely real fraudsters and convict them all in court, then that's clearly a sign of your utter failure in office.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

For an educated man, Shady Vance is a fucking idiot. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is Santa Ana, CA in OC. Thousands came out to the #Handsoff march to protest Trump, Musk & MAGA. New Rep @daveminca.bsky.social spoke & there were booths for labor, Planned Parenthood & Democratic clubs. People had signs demanding everything from hands off the ACA & Medicaid to Greenland.

Ummmm SEIU is standing up for their members big time. Following ICE’s snatching of an @SEIU worker, they’re not f*cking around. It would be a shame if everyone shared this and embarrassed ICE. #4The1st

Every single House Republican who voted for the largest Medicaid cut in American history is unfit to govern.

Every single one of the 210 drugs approved from 2010 to 2016 were built upon National Institutes of Health-funded research, one study found. Most of that funding went to the basic research uncovering the fundamental causes of disease that makes new treatments possible.

Curtis Yarvin, a close ally of Peter Thiel, recently declared that the system is “irreparable,” that “To capture an elite, you have to demolish its institutions,” & that “Every existing institution of science, outside the scientists & the labs themselves, must be fully cremated…” 1/

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow. She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

Bad Brad Schimel gave plea deals to child predators & recommended probation for men who assaulted minors. He even blamed survivors. That’s not justice—it’s danger in disguise all being paid for by Elon. For safety and sanity on the bench, @crawfordforwi.bsky.social is the only choice. #Wisconsin

A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

CNN put together a collection of clips of various Trump officials who were on the signal chat criticizing Hillary Clinton’s email server

Steve Bannon has claimed that he’s the guy who “headed up” the “Peter Thiel deconstruct the administrative state part” of Trump’s 2016 transition team and that Thiel protege Blake Masters was his (Bannon’s) “wingman” in that endeavor. (It appears that Thiel has been pulling strings all along.) 1/

Yep. Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.” apnews.com/article/soci...

MAJOR BREAKING: Governor JB Pritzker just revealed that during COVID, Donald Trump told him he would only send life saving equipment if he agreed to praise him on the Sunday talk shows. Is Donald Trump evil or just completely fucking deranged?

Love it. Congratulations 🎉🥳👌🎯

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Everything Trump and DOGE is doing is meant to kill us.

Thousands of US Department of Agriculture employees, including food inspectors and disease-sniffing dog trainers, remain out of work, leaving food to rot in ports and pests to proliferate.

BREAKING: @indivisible.org calls on Senator Schumer to step down as minority leader after voting in favor of GOP funding bill. “Our democracy is in danger. The path ahead will be hard. Indivisibles are ready to do the work - it’s time for a Senate Democratic Leader who is too.” Full statement:

Walz: For three days on Fox News, you know the bung holes in the morning talking about, “Walz doesn’t even know who the leader is.” They know who their leader is because their lips are chapped from butt kissing one person

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

SCOOP: Elon Musk has installed 10 of his DOGE operatives at the Social Security Administration. We got their names w/ @makenakelly.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/doge-o...

Morning update: NO on cloture. NO on the CR. We’re fighting this bad bill that cuts Americans a terrible deal with everything we’ve got.

Musk is actively working to discredit our movement. We raised legitimate concerns about the threat of SSA phone line cancellations—yet now they’re dismissing it as misinformation. This follows a clear pattern of deception.
