there is a great article written a couple of years after the ACA passed that interviewed Members who voted Yes and then lost reelection. To a person, none of them regretted their vote.

The thing that is so frustrating about congressional Republicans is they’re acting like anyone would do the same in their position.
That’s simply not true. There are other, better, people, who would risk losing their job in order to do the right thing and protect others. Lots of them.

Can someone let me know when we can rename Trump's concentration camps after historical ones?
Bc that's the kind of thing Trump loves: Associating his fascism with past human rights atrocities and traitorous losers.

Are you paying attention?
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."

Within minutes of the attack on Jewish demonstrators in Boulder the FBI and HLS declared it a terrorist attack and rolled in. It's been 8 hours since the targeted assassinations of Democratic legislators in MN and Bongino says they're "assisting local partners." Silence from Trump. We see you.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law
