Absolutely essential to understand the full story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Trump has this dystopian dream for the American economy where we are all toiling away in sweat shops, manufacturing little trinkets while he lords over his subjects. North Korea. Trump dreams of North Korea.

The White House is now claiming #elonmusk is not the head of #DOGE, despite many on the record remarks from both #Trump and #Musk to the contrary. Were they told Musk's actions were illegal, since he wasn't vetted or confirmed?

Starting with #tiktok and now flowing across #youtube, #substack, #bluesky and other platforms I'm seeing a surge of grassroots movement across a dozen industries at once, as independent journalism and advocacy looks to rapidly replace the legacy institutions that have failed us since 2016.

Elon Musk’s own AI, Grok, is apparently not a fan of Elon Musk (or Trump). #elonmusk #trump #AI

Learned a new phrase today that helped me understand both why #MAGA weirdos are so #angry and why it seems like there are more ring-wing zealots than ever (even though there aren't), while also giving me more conviction in the progressive direction.

#elonmusk just forced a senior #treasury department official to resign because he refused to give Musk access to the Treasury Department’s payment system; a system Musk and #doge have absolutely no bu...

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) authored this searing letter to new Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlining severe concerns Americans should have regarding Musk's batshit insane attempt to hijack the Treasury's payment system.

The people are being heard, and @wyden.senate.gov is putting in the work!

#musk is the greatest threat to the United States. With a single signature #Trump gave the unelected zealots at #doge unrestricted authority to access, augment, and rule every department and every system this country requires to survive. Congress must stop it. Today. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YLBDMF/

No, you are not insane. Yes, this is illegal. Yes, he is delusional. And yes, if we intend for the United States to thrive indefinitely into the future, our elected officials must maintain their oath to the Constitution and put a clear, unequivocal end to Trump's insanity.

All the king’s men is back with a vengeance.

Let's just squash the faux #republican confusion when it comes to #liberals being the party of #tolerance. It's disingenuous, and they know it.

“I thought you were the party of love and #tolerance!” Let’s just squash this boring #maga #republican refrain real quick.

How did I become the #radical #leftist I am today? Simple. I remained committed to the same principles that have led cultures to thrive for the past 2,000 years, while #republicans have sprinted so fa...

We take so much pride in our #empathy. But there's a time for empathy, and there's a time for judgment. And on so many issues, Republicans have earned their judgment.
