My heart goes out to our Olympic athletes right now — as they attempt to navigate an extremely difficult time to be an American on the world stage.
Trump is the worst of America.
These elite athletes are the best.
We can stand with them and against him at the same time. 🇺🇸

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This is a turning point. Nobody wants what we’re seeing in Minnesota.
Speak up. In your workplace, in your community, in any forum you have.
Just emailing friends and coworkers and saying this is wrong is a powerful act. Expressing yourself to others. That is democracy.
Just don’t be silent.

Donald Trump claims America is not being treated fairly by NATO. Nothing could be further from the truth. Trump + his administration has brought this all on themselves. The American people will have to pay the price. Every time Trump doesn't get his way he ALWAYS claims he's being treated unfairly.

We lost two neighbors today to ICE abductions. The kids are off school tomorrow but we'll be at a different elementary school packing boxes for families too afraid to leave their homes.
We are more organized each day and we won't stop until these assholes leave.

A constant stream of populist-sounding ideas can be a fog machine. Behind it, the hard levers—tax cuts, tariffs, enforcement—shift income from workers to the well-off.
What he says sounds populist, but he never follows through. What he does is takes from the poor and gives to the rich.

I’m actually very happy for James Comer and House Republicans to establish the precedent that former presidents should be hauled before congressional committees to be questioned about Epstein, pardons and other matters.

Incrementalism doesn’t work. I used to be an advocate for it. That was wrong. We can’t chip away at the rot in hopes of laying the ground work for big change later. We have to go in blasting now.
Abolish ICE. Raze his ballroom. Defund all his shit. Jail the crooks. Restore America.

“Congress has given the president a gargantuan global military force with few constraints and is AWOL in overseeing what the president does with it. Courts won’t get involved in reviewing unilateral presidential uses of force. And no country plausibly could stop the U.S. action in Venezuela.”

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

“Giving money to the people” is code for cutting a check to a health savings account.
That’s not health insurance. It’s smoke in mirrors. $2K in your pocket won’t cover a fraction of a major medical need (procedure, hospitalization, ER visit).
Don’t buy the nonsense.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
