I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

19 drones launched over several hours, from Russia and Belarus, into Poland, were not a mistake. Many of them did not carry explosives, so they had not gone astray in Ukraine....they were a probe of Poland, NATO and Trump.

This behavior is indistinguishable from the worst secret polices of fascist regimes of the 20th century.
NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby.

This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday).

1/Trump’s Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, seems interested in making women 2nd class citizens. A tweet he posted late last week isn’t getting nearly enough attention. In any other administration, there would have been swift calls for his resignation. Here, mostly crickets.

As a reminder: Trump’s first act was to pardon HUNDREDS of J6 rioters who assaulted and beat DC police officers. Trump’s been responsible for a large percentage of the total assaults (and many of the worst/most brutal) on DC police in the last decade.
Trump: "You know, they love to spit in the face of the police ... They’re standing and they’re screaming at them an inch away from their face, and then they start spitting in their face. And I said, ‘you tell them you spit, and we hit’, and they get hit real hard."

Don't like the numbers? Just fire the person responsible for gathering them.

Trump's doing what every tyrannical regime has always done: wiping out the truth and replacing it with lies.
BREAKING: Trump says he has told his team to fire the Commissioner of Labor Statistics.

This announcement comes after worse than expected jobs numbers in July, and a downward revision of -258,000 jobs for the May and June jobs reports.

MacArthur Park today wasn’t law enforcement. It was political theater.
No arrests. No crime ring. Just troops, agents and fear.
Kids at summer camps were rushed indoors as helicopters and soldiers swarmed.
The message? Intimidate immigrants. Children became collateral in the show.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Your now-regular reminder that no tax cut has ever paid for itself.

Ever
CBO just estimated the macrodynamic impact on the cost of the GOP bill - i.e., "is this bill going to help the economy so much that it pays for itself?"

CBO said that the bill pays for just 3.5% of itself - w/ a tiny upfront economic boost that declines over time. Legitimately embarrassing for Rs.
