Communities hit by natural disasters, like the tragic Texas floods, don’t have the resources to rebuild on their own.
That’s where FEMA comes in – providing billions of dollars to help with search & rescue, survivors’ needs, and debris removal.
Trump wants the agency gone.

On this day in 1868, the 14th Amendment was ratified. The text is just as clear and relevant today as it was back then. Donald Trump is trying to erase this.

Remember this as Republicans gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.

Lol. I don't give politicians or parties or PACs or dark money groups anything. When I campaigned for Kamala I paid for everything out of my pocket. I wouldn't let them pay for anything.

Congressional Republicans just betrayed their constituents to give a tax break to their ultra-wealthy donors.

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people."
We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power.
We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?
No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.
Fascism is here.

because the bill includes a bond requirement, and I told you that it did no such thing, and judges could simply require bond of $1? Remember that?
Judge Boasberg is actually not the first (I posted about another judge last week who did it), but he's still my favorite. ❤️ 2/2
