🚨Rep. Maxwell Frost after touring “Alligator Alcatraz”:

“Thirty-two bodies crammed per cage, six cages per tent. People screaming ‘Help me, I’m a U.S. citizen.’ Drinking water pumped from the same toilet they’re forced to use. It’s filth, it’s cruelty, it’s America’s name on the door.”

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

It’s really worth reading this letter. The city of San Marcos, Texas has suggested that they could use the $4.4 million in tax money their residents sent to Israel to instead manage domestic problems (addiction, education etc) and now the governor is calling them antisemites

Seriously though we are tracking the invitations and sorting through all of them! I will keep trying to visit more communities.

The House is in session quite a bit at the moment so we have limited windows to work with, but we’re trying to get back to as many groups as we can!

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player tortured by the Maduro regime who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum and has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

It's actually really interesting how early and hard Tim Walz is going on running for president

The first empirical evaluation of New York's congestion pricing has just been published.

eroding due process means, one day they’ll say YOU are an undocumented terrorist and because there’s no more due process - you’ll get sent off the cypto dipshits outsourced concentration camp before you can prove who you are.

5 years on from lockdown and history has been rewritten.

I'm here to remind you what actually happened.

For example ;

Hospitals in London ran out of oxygen to give to patients, such was the flood of patients with respiratory failure resulting from Covid.

The richest man on earth killing elderly people so he can pay less in taxes is cartoonishly evil

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

the judiciary is the last bastion of defense, its officially dead after today. it took decades and numerous admins to get here. checks and balances are officially dead.

Stop saying these guys are gay. Gay men don't post like this. They're straight men whose misogyny has crossed an event horizon where they can no longer find women attractive because they hate them so much.

[Patrick Heizer @PatrickHeizer]

At least half of the country doesn't understand how marginal tax brackets work and at least half of those people refuse to believe it when it's explained to them.

[James Medlock @jdcmedlock]

One thing I’ve noticed about conservatives is that they frequently don’t understand things

@writhabrata7 @Orgmet_ACS @SzymczakLab @MichiganChem @UMichResearch Congratulations!!

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

"Alleged" is an incredibly important word here. Because right now we just have the Trump administration's word for it, and nothing else, AND the people accused of being gang members were denied any opportunity to challenge the government's determination — no due process at all.
