I lived in SW VA for a year back in 2014. Beautiful natural environment, but I had to get out of there. Very depressing communities

Wow.

Vivek has blown through $20M—including millions on TV—with nothing to show for it as Ohioans continue to reject his scams.

Now in full panic mode he’s about to burn through a lot more.

We won’t be bought.

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

As an Ohioan, I confirm that they are unhinged and it’s so dang gross

It will never stop pissing me off how much trump is going to walk away from this presidency as a “real” billionaire in a way he never was before, and it is going to be solely because of the public office

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'

IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated

W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

If you think Trump depicting himself as Jesus is blasphemous, wait until you hear how he cut food assistance and healthcare to poor children.

Senate will vote today to destroy our public land protections. Please call your senators now!

This is urgent!! The vote will happen this afternoon!!!! Call your senators and every senator NOW!! They need to vote NO on HJR 140 to save the boundary waters and protect our public lands!! Please share and call!!

People often ask how they, personally, can make a difference.
The answer is by showing up. Speak out, share the message, build relationships, pressure your representatives, protest peacefully, and vote. That’s how Hungary turned the corner. That’s how we will, too. #holdfast

Kushner being involved as he has deals with MBS is insane

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

He could've literally chosen to do nothing and golf every day, and we'd *still* be better off than we are now.

Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...

Text on graphic reads: The Department of Justice has dropped 23,000 criminal cases while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term. -Nearly 5,000: federal drug cases, including trafficking and money laundering -Over 900: cases of federal program or procurement fraud -More than 1,300: cases involving terrorism and national security

The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of Trump’s second administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Vivek Ramaswamy doesn’t know the first thing about how to solve challenges faced by everyday Ohioans.

While he says Medicaid is a mistake, talks about closing Ohio’s iconic colleges and gutting funding for public safety and our schools…

Heather, you have had some truly dynamite interviews lately! From your interview with Timothy Snyder to this one with Vanessa Williamson, I have learned so much! Can't wait to check her book out from the library. (I already read Snyder's book "On Freedom" last year and am still thinking about it!)

Humanities matter just as much as STEM fields

San Diego woman says her credit card information was stolen while she was in ICE custody Hanne Engan, whom ICE arrested at her green card appointment, said her diabetes quickly escalated while at Otay Mesa Detention Center due to medical negligence. Written by Kate Morrissey, Edited...

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

It’s been fun the past few years, having people lie or be useful idiots about how Anti DEI is just about merit and not a backdoor whites only policy and then insist those of us who saw that clearly are shrill or paranoid

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Help this shit has me in tears

The most sour “I told ya so” in history 🤬

Fuck your money

Sponsoring a spouse costs US citizens up to $2,675 in fees alone, $675 to petition, $1,440 to adjust status, $560 for a work permit. The government is cashing those checks and then doing nothing. That's fraud not delay.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵
