While Trump and his goons aren't afraid to break the law, it's up to the media to report the facts and hold this regime accountable. I sit down with Matthew Dowd to discuss the loss of trust in the media and how it lets Trump do as he pleases.

I am a retired rocket scientist frustrated with the state of our democracy.

My frustration led me to develop an idea for an opposition organization based on @timothysnyder.bsky.social idea for a “shadow cabinet”.

This thread describes a well-funded war room on steroids.

I’m thinking “Inchon”, of which there has been some discussion.

It seems likely that Trump has been trying to tariff us into a great depression. He's implemented massive tariffs like Hoover did before 1929.

“He’s a citizen! He’s a citizen! That’s my brother-in-law!”

ICE entered a Walgreens in Chicago running with their guns drawn looking for any person of color.

Apparently they kidnapped a black young man.

Contact Walgreens HQ and ask them to not allow ICE on their property.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

As a rough estimate, this a loss of about $100M to the local economy, which not insignificant.

Is it possible for this guy not to lie. As Speaker, he knows the Biden administration couldn't release the files
From 2021 through 2025 when Biden was president the Epstein files were under strict federal court orders
So Biden couldn't release them. He's a lying, incompetant, impotent piece of shit.

Yes, but the argument they give the court for deploying the national guard in cities is to protect federal agents.

Which is it?

I agree. Extrajudicial killings in international waters with absolutely NO evidence given these are drug runners or drug boats.

I assert they are innocent fishermen. Prove me wrong!!

It could be you or I next IN the US.

Someone needs to go to jail over this.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.
