The Democratic Attorneys General Association established a Legal Defense Fund for exactly this moment: when its members — including AG Tish James—are targeted by the Trump administration for political prosecution.

When the bailout for Argentina…is actually a bailout for the Treasury Secretary’s hedge fund billionaires.

They get richer…and it just gets harder for you.

This clown has the full support of the Democratic Party, but they just can’t bring themselves to support Mamdani.

🧵:
The world’s extremely poor are also often extremely remote, with limited access to healthcare & health education. In many developing countries, the government—often with the help of the UN and, until this year, USAID—maintains health posts that bring these services to people living off the grid.

Trump is giving another taxpayer-funded bailout to billionaires, and working class MAGA cultists won’t say a peep.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

The Peruvian Congress just impeached and removed their president, which their constitution allows for on grounds of “permanent moral incapacity.”

The same thing happened to her predecessor, who was impeached and removed for attempting to seize control of Congress and the judiciary.

Join ICE today cmon

Post from the New Yorker: ICE wants YOU to put on a MASK to do your JOB. But NOT like
during COVID when YOU didn't WANT to wear a MASK. This time, it's NOT for protecting OTHERS from HARM-it's for protecting your IDENTITY while YOU harm OTHERS.

The authors of 25th Amendment never imagined America would let it go this far. This is beyond madness. We look like absolute fools! When do we rise up and stand up for basic human decency?!

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Masks. Armed. No insignia. No names. No warrants. But they will come up to an American citizen on the street and threaten him with arrest for peacefully exercising basic American rights.

I'd challenge historians of the American Revolution to articulate how things were worse than this in April 1775.

In a Chicagoland Suburb, Berwyn, IL, multiple ICE agents and a cameraman surround a resident who blew his horn and walked down the street in his own neighborhood. They demand his ID and they threatene...
