Repugnants in Congress are either incredibly stupid or have such incredible hubris to think they will not have the tables turned on them when Democrats are in power. Unchecked power of the executive will come back to bite them. Subpoenaing past presidents? Just wait... you ain't seen nothing yet!

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

How is this okay? Seriously. This is just pure unadulterated racism. Yet we hear 🦗🦗🦗 from republicans. Their silence is complicity. Posting this just shows how insecure the orange felon is, knowing deep down in his lizard brain, he will never be even 1% of the people they are!
This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.
Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.
This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

Even in the off chance the orange felon finds fraud in the 2020 election in Fulton County, GA what's he gonna do? He can't erase President Biden's term. However will use any fraud, real or fabricated to affect the outcome of the upcoming midterms and the presidential election in 2028.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

Any GOP House member or Senator who is saying they didn't see the videos of the ICE executions is lying. It's their job to be up on the news. With the staffs they have whose job it is to follow the news, pleading ignorance is just total bs.
