Screenshot of a TikTok video with error message at top saying “your video is under review and can’t be shared right now.”

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

If only we had a function in Congress.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

In a world of Matts, be a Derek.

Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.

I can make my no shopping day tomorrow last another four years if need be.

I don’t know if I have ever in my lifetime felt more embarrassed to be an American than I feel at this very moment…

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed.

Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio.

He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

I’m not crying. I have the means to get by no matter how bad things get here. Most of the people who voted for this, presumably including you, do not. You’re never going to get the last laugh.

I do think we will see a lot of people leaving America over this.

Our country is going back to factory settings.

#NIH accounts for 47 billion = 25% of US federal research funding, essential for their world-leading position in bio-medical research.

Trump just shut it down.

No foreign adversary in their wildest wet dream could achieve such a devastating act of traitorous sabotage with a stroke of a pen.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

There is literally nothing worse than the cowards who know they shouldn’t have voted to confirm but did so bc of their own ambition but want you to know they regret the devastation underway.

There’s not going to be another free election. We are now Russia.

Worst retail sales drop in nearly two years. 🇺🇸

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/
