BREAKING—@RahmEmanuel announces a proposed ban on holding a position in any branch of government if you're over the age of 75 years old. It's part of a plan for reestablishing trust with the public that also includes stronger anticorruption efforts.

4. This pains me to say it, but in 2024, Trump was seen as the cool, outlaw candidate to a swath of voters, online influencers, and podcasters. We need to take away that cultural cache and make MAGA Cringe Again.

3. Trump wants to be seen as big and strong. We should make him look small and weak. Ridicule is a great way to undermine the core asset of a wannabe strongman

2. It’s not just true of Trump—it’s true of his entire administration of people waging war on America because they never got invited to a party in high school. Just look at Stephen Miller.

1. Beneath all of the bluster and bullying, Donald Trump is a huge fucking loser. What else would you call someone who accepts another person's Nobel Prize? And Democrats should say that more often. I think it's a good political strategy

NOT a violation of the law: - Telling ICE agents to go fuck themselves - Flipping off ICE agents - Yelling at ICE agents - Filming ICE agents - Refusal to cooperate with ICE agents' demands - Disobeying commands without fighting back This is all according to...@DHSgov
Immigration officers received a "legal refresher" reminding them that personal insults and rude gestures are legal, per documents leaked to me: https://t.co/N0QowpTMie

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Armed federal agents at war with innocent Americans
NEW @IJ has filed a preliminary injunction in our case against unconstitutional immigration raids and detentions in Alabama. Astounding paragraph on agents detaining people with valid IDs

This is a median response, so will use it as an example but not aimed at this comment. Would also suggest people go and listen to @grahamformaine on @PodSaveAmerica. I have my suspicions that several of you have not. Fair to argue that Platner has more to do to assuage concerns
I think there's a middle ground somewhere between "perfect, unblemished, sinless" and a Nazi tattoo on their chest.

🧵Hi, I'm the @propublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Worth watching @JDVance in full here, and I want to talk about what he says and why I think it's important to break it down. The argument is, we should not punish "kids" for jokes in a group chat, especially because they are not in positions of authority, and everybody makes dumb
JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

What makes me most angry is that there's nothing Americans "get" from destroying USAID in a way that directly results in the death of the world's poorest children. It barely even qualifies as an act of selfishness. We're doing it for nothing. The debt picture is completely

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
