This is illegal, inhumane, and idiotic.
It’s illegal because ICE is wrong to claim that a 1996 law lets them strip these people of a right to a court hearing.
It’s inhumane because people are having the rug pulled from them.
It’s idiotic because it undermines the rule of law.

Trump sent Jeffrey Epstein a birthday letter with a drawing of a naked woman on it and a note reading, "may every day be another wonderful secret," the Wall Street Journal just reported.
Trump denies this ever happened, saying: "I never wrote a picture in my life."

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.
If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt working class families for generations to come. Call your representative today and tell them to vote no on this bill.

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12
RT @davidhogg111: There’s a lot going on right now. Here’s what matters: Trump just nationalized California’s national guard in his latest…

Nearly 50% of employers don’t offer healthcare benefits. This messaging is meant to lull folks into a false sense of security so they don’t *rightfully* scream that Trump and his Congressional allies are indeed kicking 10+ million people off of Medicaid. Don’t buy the bullshit.
Lankford: "People are screaming and saying, 'It's kicking people off Medicaid.' It's not kicking people off Medicaid. It's transitioning from Medicaid to employer-provided healthcare. So yes, we've got 10 million people that are not gonna be on Medicaid, but they then are gonna be on employer-provided healthcare."

BREAKING: The U.S. government says 247,000 people applied for unemployment benefits last week, the most in eight months. apnews.com/article/unemploym…

This piece on Trump's attack on Harvard is exactly right. It's about Trump trying to crush opposition; anyone who believes in democracy needs to side with Harvard on this.

Hospitals and community health centers could get shut down if the GOP guts Medicaid—closing their doors to everyone, not just Medicaid patients. If someone feels chest pains and needs emergency care, or a kid falls at the playground and needs stitches, they could be out of luck.

Guy steals his workers' Social Security contributions to buy himself a yacht. His mom donates $1 million to Trump for a pardon.
The pardon not only gets him out of jail - it saves him $4 million in restitution payments. Pretty good return for bribing the president.
"A judge had justified the incarceration by declaring that there 'is not a get-out-of-jail-free card' for the rich. The pardon, however, indicated otherwise." nytimes.com/2025/05/27/us/po…

Canceling student debt would have:
⬆️jobs by 4.4 million over the first 5 years
⬆️GDP by $108 billion a year
⬇️the racial wealth gap from 12:1 to 5:1
70% of the benefits of canceling student debt would have gone to the bottom 80%.
70% of PPP loans forgiven went to the top 20%.
The U.S. Department of Education’s crackdown on student loan repayments could take billions of dollars out of consumers’ pockets, reports show. Monthly collections on defaulted loans may reduce disposable personal income between $3.1 billion and $8.5 billion a month, according to research by JPMorgan.

BRENNAN: Nearly 200,000 Louisianans will lose their Medicaid. How do you defend that to your constituents?
MIKE JOHNSON: If you are able to work and you refuse to do so, you are defrauding the system, you're cheating the system, and no one in the country believes that's right. So there's a moral component to what we're doing.

It wasn't enough to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP—Republicans just voted to authorize themselves to RAISE YOUR TAXES without the required 3/5ths vote.
Their 60 page, last minute amendment says it plain and simple.
They are getting ready to raise taxes on low income working families.
