"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse." https://t.co/XGWCH0Ipi2
Now that the donors and electeds have pushed out the only candidate who has ever beaten Trump, it’s time to end the political fantasy games and unite behind the only veteran of a national campaign — our outstanding @vp, @KamalaHarris!! Let’s get real and win in November!
In 2018 the Trump admin cut the time people are allowed to rest and seek legal assistance before a credible fear interview from 48 hours to 24. They got sued and lost.
In May 2023, the Biden admin did the same and cut it to 24 hours. Now they’re cutting it again—to just 4 hours.
New state-by-state data from the Policy Design Lab at @UofIllinois shows what farmers stand to lose if Congress eliminates an $18 billion IRA investment in USDA climate programs in the Farm Bill next year.

A lot of you have been noticing my absence on Mondays and tweeting at me about it! So I’m very excited for this to be official. @jrpsaki is a wildly talented broadcaster and a great colleague and I’ve been cooking up some fun other projects, about which more…at some point

Huge congratulations to @kerritalbot, one the smartest immigration strategists, and Beatriz Lopez - a master political/comms innovator. The Immigration Hub is heading strong into 2024 (and the reelection campaign is so lucky to have @SergGonzales)!

"Why can’t we get an immigration deal that protects the border but also protects refugees and gives American businesses the workers they need?”
We can! Watch @jmpalmieri explain why my bipartisan #DignityAct is a real solution to the challenges at our southern border👇🏽
Amazing hire! @SergGonzales is so strategic and will be such as asset to the President and Vice President. And Sergio + Julie - what a team!!!

The one bright side to these political attacks on teachers is that parents and citizens are organizing against curriculum censorship - and hopefully this will be a motivating factor on the D side in 2024.
A Georgia teacher is getting fired by the local school district for reading a book called "My Shadow is Purple" in a fifth grade class. She stands accused of violating policy on "controversial issues."
This is getting utterly ridiculous. 1/

To prepare for the July 4th holiday, @ChicagoCred has taken high risk individuals out of the city to remove targets, and 500 Peacekeepers have been deployed at 102 of the most violent hot spots in the city
We would love to be with our families, but we are honored to serve others
“Democrats often assume they can’t win arguments on immigration. But GOP “invasion” rhetoric has grown truly dangerous, unhinged and disconnected from reality. If ever there were a time to grab the sensible middle-ground on this issue, it’s now.”
The vile "invasion" language about the border has almost entirely taken over the GOP at this point. DeSantis's border plan uses this ugly term over and over again. House Republicans say it almost daily. This derangement is out of control. 1/

If every unemployed person found a job, there would still be 4.2m open positions. Immigration is part of the answer. R govs in UT & IN want to sponsor immigrant workers. This doesn’t have to be a partisan issue. https://t.co/ZHYFZFnoQR
100%. Moms orgs (like Moms for Freedom) have emerged that are fighting back at the local school board level. Moms are fired up and know that what Rs are really trying to do is take power away from teachers and the public school system.
@PENamerica All of this is another sign that the counter-mobilization against right wing culture-war extremism has room to grow.
Dems should seize on this untapped energy. They should forcefully defend the role of public schools, which are the right's real target:

THIS is how to do it. From @JulianCastro:
"We're a country that has the resources and resolve — if we want to — to handle this in an orderly and compassionate and humane way. The US is big enough to do that."

As I argue here:
Clearly this is about 2024. DHS put out a comprehensive plan in 2022, updated it at the end of last year and then updated it again - https://t.co/HUxA1Uvt81. There is a whole Southwest Border Coordination Center that is leading an inter-agency response. There is a plan.
.@SenatorSinema tells @margbrennan she fears a humanitarian crisis when Title 42 ends Thursday: "The Biden administration had two years to prepare for this and did not do so...And migrants will be in crisis as soon as next week.” @McCainInstitute@FaceTheNation
This is incredible!! DACA recipients can finally receive coverage under the ACA, which was the intent of the law. Any future DREAM Act must follow suit.
Congrats to @NILC & @UNITEDWEDREAM for their tireless work on this! https://t.co/A4D2uSNOua
There is a consistent assumption that polls finding that voters trust Rs more on immigration means that they reject Dem policies. But in reality, it is that Rs are consistently hammering an open borders narrative & voters don’t know where Dems stand.
