This is absolutely insane. Monstrous.
It’s also infuriating that MAGA thinks our government is owed any kind of respect or support by anyone - Olympians, U.S. citizens, foreigners. The U.S. is currently right up there with the worst human rights abusers.
Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist.
Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard.
We can and must stop this.
BREAKING: EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS.
Senator Mark Kelly just completely torched Donald Trump:
"When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 911 victims into space on a rocket ship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head."
First the British Ambassador lost his job and now the Prince lost his title. Don’t tell us there’s nothing in the Epstein files. The truth is coming out and we will not give up. Repost this and tag @SpeakerJohnson if you want him to quit delaying the vote.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE is] just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So U.S. citizens are getting detained and arrested."

He says F U to politicians and the system. His views are radical. Some good, some bad
But he'll make you think
Conclusion:
Today's meeting in the White House was the second-best outcome. The meeting between Trump, Vance, and Zelenskyy couldn't have gone better. The world now knows exactly where the United States stands without subtlety, subtext, or guessing.
The Trump Administration has yanked the free world around since winning elections in November.
There was never a realistic and equitable deal, and the masks are off for the entire world to see.
After Macron on Wednesday and Starmer on Thursday tip-toed around Trump, they got to see exactly who they are dealing with.
The age of American exceptionalism, the "shining city on the hill," is over. As an American, I'm embarrassed, sad, and angry. As a human, I'm relieved that the administration has revealed itself.
It's time for Europe to step up and prepare for a post-NATO and post-USA world. The masks are off.
For almost three years, I have had the privilege of working with some of the smartest people I have ever known. Thank you for your analysis, your listening, your teaching, the all-nighters, the screaming matches, the laughter, and the tears.
