Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

🧵 Reminiscent of Stephen's Miller's horrific child separation program during Trump's first term, the current regime is noticeably ramping up child detentions...

More systematically than in his first term, Trump is rolling back protections for undocumented minors.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.

Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

THIS is the most devastating constitutional crisis.

I'm increasingly struggling with the fact that right wing members of Congress keep going to a concentration camp run by their favorite dictator, as if it's some kind of amusement park or sex club, and there's almost no backlash.

Elon Musk’s achievements to date in the field of human transportation are: cars that drive themselves off cliffs and rockets that explode mid-flight.

Teslas have the worst fatality rate in the auto industry.

Commercial aviation is so safe, it averages only one accident per 880,000 flights.
We’re all going to die.

After his executive order on sex, is Trump legally the first female president?

Because the undifferentiated genitalia that males and females share very early in fetal development are “phenotypically female”, you could argue he just made everyone legally female.

After his executive order on sex, is Trump legally the first female president?
The confusing and vague executive order underscores how complex sex is and why it’s hard to reduce it into a neat binary

Trump looks at this reverend who asks for compassion with bored, bleary eyes. It will have no effect on this sociopath, but it is a noble act of defiance at a time when too many are modeling obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa *for* the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter.

But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33.
 
Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.
