This IS big.
This is big. Speaker Johnson’s procedural loophole to avoid a vote on Trump’s wildly unpopular, cost-raising tariffs failed. I’m glad my bipartisan resolutions in the Senate to undo Trump’s tariffs have passed, and now it’s time for the House to vote to do the same.

The inhumanity of these people is sickening. There has to be accountability for their horrible treatment of these people.
if you remember the FBI + ICE + local raid on a horse race track in Wilder, Idaho that detained hundreds of families (including many kids & U.S. citizens) the @acluidaho.bsky.social just announced a lawsuit.
The complaint is just as disturbing as previous reporting www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Yet another win for the good guys. If only we were living in normal times when all these court cases would be unimaginable in the first place. We know with Trump that the intimidation and expense to his "enemies" is the point.

I hope this vote succeeds -- and don't forget to mention the bridge that Trump is threatening to close down between Canada and Michigan.
“.. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), said he is inclined to vote to end the tariffs on Canada.

When Texas lawmakers tried to visit 33-year-old “political prisoner” Leqaa Kordia at an ICE facility, she’d already lost 50 pounds and was running a high fever.
By Friday, she was hospitalized. But her family still has not been able to locate her.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

ICE may have handed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in American history a free pass by deporting him before he ever faced trial.
This is the result of Stephen Miller’s chaos. Reckless mismanagement that undermines public safety and makes a mockery of the justice system.

Petty, provocative and pointless. This is how they occupy their time rather than working on behalf of the country.
The number of lawsuits against the government is going to be unsurpassed for sure. And a drain on resources that could be better directed elsewhere.

Taken aback by the dismissive & sneering attitude from FBI agents toward the cop politely asking to see the warrant.
Looked him up: He's an immigrant w/ a doctorate in philosophy. His thesis? "Force by police officers toward African Americans."
