They entered the country legally. They had a pending asylum case. They had zero criminal history. They were going to the hospital to address their child's nosebleed. Now they're all in a cage somewhere down in Texas.

Children and women chanting “let us out” at the Dilley Concentration Center that Trump has set up in Texas, as they apparently wear color-coded jackets.
It’s like a scene from “The Handmaid’s Tale” or 1930s Germany.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.
I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. robertreich.substack.com/p/t…

“The Trump Regime has shut down the government to give Trump the power to fire even more civil servants, make unilateral, irreversible cuts to social programs and funding for law enforcement in Blue States, per Chapter 2 of Project 2025. The funds will be redistributed to ICE.
If you’re reading this, it’s happening on your watch.
I have never felt so shaken.
Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch.
How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation campaign?
PS: Talking politics while dodging genocide perfectly meets the definition of doing nothing.

I FUCKING KNEW IT! They were up to something.
"A total overhaul of the U.S. election system, branded as “Election Reform,” straight from the pages of Project 2025, written by Russell Vought and Stephen Miller.
This isn’t a theory. This isn’t coming “down the road.”
It’s already in motion.
This isn’t about making elections safer. It’s about ensuring Trump can never lose again.
What they’re preparing is a nationwide takeover of elections through executive power. And if they succeed, free elections are gone.
Here’s what’s being drafted right now, according to Project 2025 and confirmed by my inside sources:
• ❌ Ban mail-in ballots (except military)
• ❌ Eliminate early voting
• ❌ Purge voter rolls aggressively
• ❌ Ban drop boxes nationwide
• ❌ Use ICE and Homeland Security to “monitor” polling sites in minority districts
• ❌ Replace nonpartisan election workers with MAGA loyalists
• ❌ Criminalize noncompliance with new voter ID mandates—even for naturalized citizens
• ❌ Centralize election authority under the President"

"This bill will make 60% of the country poorer so we can shrink the economy by 4.6% over the next 30 years" is one heck of an accomplishment.
We estimate the Senate-passed reconciliation bill increases primary deficits by $3.1 trillion over 10 years. The dynamic cost, including changes to the economy, is larger at $3.5 trillion. GDP falls by 0.3 in 10 years and falls by 4.6 in 30 years. budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.ed…
Most Americans can’t afford to build a life and Congress is meeting in the middle of the night to vote to take even more $$ away from you to give to the rich
Trump is pro lead poisoning
Eliminating Head Start. Laying off all the CDC employees who work on lead poisoning. Discrediting childhood vaccines during a measles outbreak. Cutting funds for school lunches.

A really important message from my friend Senator @ChrisMurphyCT. As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire."
America is under attack right now.

In October, WSJ reported that Musk had numerous conversations with Putin. This prompted Dems to push the Defense Department IG to review whether this posed a threat to national security. The IG did launch this review, per NYT. 6/

Donald Trump's attempt to flood the zone is not a sign of strength – it’s an attempt to project strength, and to convince you that he’s more powerful than he is.
Don’t let him.
Stand up, speak out, and remember that democracy depends on those who refuse to be silenced.

If you’re a Democratic elected, work at some institution under assault, or (perhaps most of all) work in the press, and you find yourself thinking “Should I wait and see? Am I overreacting?” the answer is “This is what they’re counting on: you realizing you underreacted later.”

If President Musk really wanted to cut wasteful spending:
-Universal healthcare saves $650B
-Gun safety laws save $557B
-Ending direct & indirect fossil fuel subsidies saves $650B
-Funding the IRS saves $124B
But he doesn’t. He just needed an excuse to hijack the government.
