This quote from “The American President” couldn’t be more poignant:
AJ: The President doesn't answer to you, Lewis!
Lewis: Oh, yes he does, AJ. I'm a citizen, this is my President. And in this country it is not only permissible to question our leaders, it's our responsibility!
HEROES: 80-year-old Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, who was shoved by ICE minutes before:
"We're going to leave here, and we're going to where they're holding the mayor. And we intend to stay there until someone gives us some information about the well-being of the mayor."
Free Mayor Ras Baraka.
1. Trump is holding a contest to see who can pay him the most money.
The winners get a private reception with Trump and a VIP tour of the White House.
So far, many of the leaders appear to be foreign nationals.
1. Next school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud.
The lesson will not be part of a course on conspiracy theories, but an official component of the new social studies curriculum.
1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation
Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation"
Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company
🧵
The nation’s biggest law firms cut shady backroom deals with Trump to avoid being targeted by this Administration. It's extortion, and it amounts to millions of dollars worth of pro bono legal services.
RM @GerryConnolly and @CongressMin demand answers.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: After Trump signed an executive order targeting Act Blue - the Democratic donation processor - candidates report that donations came POURING IN.
This was a complete backfire by Donald Trump.
DISGUSTING!
26,100 Americans have died from COVID‑19 in just three months under Trump’s watch.
Now he’s repurposed the official government COVID website, once a trusted hub for testing, vaccination, and treatment, into a conspiracy-laden platform attacking Cuomo, Fauci, and China.
This is a betrayal of every life we’ve lost.
A sobering message from a history teacher:
I’ve spent years teaching American and international government — from strong democracies like the UK to authoritarian regimes like russia and China.
But lately, the most alarming lesson comes from home.

BREAKING: Senator Jon Ossoff just delivered one of the strongest and succinct rebukes we’ve seen of the chaos, incompetence and greed that has defined Trump’s presidency. Retweet so all Americans hear this message.
As a Trump biographer, I remind everyone that—as PROOF OF CORRUPTION (2020) detailed—Trump let his pal Erdoğan shell our troops in Syria because he was more loyal to Erdoğan than America. Make it Putin and you understand the Solong-Stena Immaculate attack. https://t.co/H97SyNyzaW
Elon Musk is spreading a lie that Dems use Social Security & Medicare to pay undocumented immigrants to come into the country.
It's just lie after lie with these people.
Immigrants are NOT the problem. Greedy rich assholes are.
Since WWII, Democrats have outperformed Republicans on the economy. GDP growth averages 4.23% under Dems vs. 2.36% under GOP. Job creation? 1.7% yearly for Dems, 1.0% for Republicans. Also, 9 of the last 10 recessions started under Republican presidents. Data speaks louder than party lines.
