Forget that the deportation was illegal, or that habeas corpus rights were ignored.

The U.S. government asserting it can't get the dude back from our new best buds in El Salvador is some ultra weak shit.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

"The ability to spend money is one of our key advantages. And yet today’s 'America First' class thinks that spending money in order to shape the world is some kind of weakness."
‘America First’ Is a Lie
America has *always* been about putting America first. Trump’s “America First” movement is about something else entirely.

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.
Breaking news: President Donald Trump has decided to pause all future deliveries of U.S. military assistance to Ukraine in an extraordinary move aimed at pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the negotiating table with Russia.

"Frederick Douglass is the very best that this nation has produced. The cancelation of this parade in his honor [reflects] a deep animus toward anything that detracts from a white-centered view of American history. Yes, racism."

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.
