Saying they’re unconstitutional but leaving them in place anyway pretty much sums up everything from the last 8 months
WASHINGTON (AP) — Appeals court finds President Trump’s sweeping tariffs unconstitutional but leaves them in place for now.

After I was denied entry to an ICE facility in my district, many of you said social media posts weren’t enough. You’re right.

Here’s what’s next.

we're gone from "we're not cutting Medicaid" to "if you lose Medicaid you deserve it"
Johnson: "The Urban League that came out with their study that said 100k+ people are gonna lose Medicaid bc of the work requirements? That means they're choosing to not work... if somebody drops out of the program bc they're unwilling to do that, they did not deserve to be on that program."

Americans deserve to know who is enforcing the laws and whether they are legitimate law enforcement officers. Masks embolden abuse. Full video:

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

Holy shit, indeed.

Jon Karl doesn’t just ask a smart question, he repeatedly refuses to take dodges for an answer and just keeps demanding a direct response and doesn’t let it go.

I think I vaguely remember this. It was called … journasomething?
Holy shit -- Kevin Hassett completely bombs on ABC when pressed by Jon Karl to explain how Trump can possibly justify 50% tariffs on Brazil even though the country has a trade *deficit* with the US

Their hands are cuffed.
Your country's government is so corrupt.
Tonight, 8:45pm, at 300 N Los Angeles St in LA, ICE is apparently leading shackled and handcuffed children out the loading dock 😞

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

Trans people every right to be furious with the ongoing silence of those who aren't speaking up, and it's insane to me that there are non-trans people who want a pass on this.

You don't get a pass. Either you care about us, or you don't.

The President is illegally targeting *US citizens* for deportation.

It was once a concern dismissed as overwrought. Now he says it explicitly and publicly.
Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

the parallels the trends in GOP policy making which is basically a free for all for 300 rich cranks. i am convinced we could topple this house of cards by throwing a handful of these people in jail for the crimes they’re very obviously committing in order to acquire this influence
yes. the democratic donor base is the educated PMC, employees in public unions, and older upper-middle class/lower-level rich libs. the GOP donor base is ~300 rich cranks.
one development which people have simply not noticed over the past four years is that the republican party does not have donors anymore
