Schumer is capitulating to Trump, again. For those saying that Chuck Schumer is just one Senate Democrat and doesn't speak for the entire party, I have two responses: 1. He literally is the minority Leader of the Democrats, so yes he does speak for the party in capitulating to Trump 2. If Senate Dems found his act truly objectionable, they'd remove him. They won't. They're complicit. We desperately need leadership with the courage to fight injustice.
There's absolutely no reasonable doubt that NY Mayor Eric Adams cut a deal with Donald Trump to get DOJ charges against him dropped in exchange for letting ICE Nazi agents run wild in NYC. Mahmoud Khalil's unjust ICE arrest & disappearance is the handy work of Adams as much as it is Rubio & Trump. If Democrats want to show they fight for our Constitution and civil rights, force Adams out and elect a mayor who *actually* fights for the people.
Trump last week at Joint Address: We ended the last admin's insane electric vehicle mandate. [Americans stop buying Teslas] Trump this week: Why won't you people buy Tesla's electric vehicles?? Ideally POTUS & the world's most incompetent person are two different people. Simply not the case here.
Mahmoud Khalil's hearing is 11:30 Wed @ SDNY Courthouse. ICE & State Dept must now justify abducting him without a judicial warrant, charge, & disappearing him without access to counsel. I want to see the lawyer dumb enough to risk their law license by arguing under oath such a fascist act is legal. Because even if Khalil was guilty of Alllll they accuse him of, even then his abduction without a warrant is illegal and unconstitutional. Period.
Donald Trump proudly pardoned the Nazi who wore a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt while storming the Capitol and beating cops to death. Anyone who actually believes Trump's prosecuting Mahmoud Khalil because of "antisemitism and rule of law" is either lying to themselves or a closeted Nazi.
Where is Dem leadership on the illegal arrest and disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil? Where is the free speech crowd who claims they are the vanguards of free speech? If roles were reversed MAGA leadership would have a nationwide media tour at this point. smh the apathy is deadly.
Putin just illegally detained a legal US resident without a warrant or charge because he peacefully protested the Govt’s policies enabling war crimes. His lawyer & family have no idea where he is This is fasci— Wait—sorry I misread. Trump did all of the above to US greencard holder Mahmoud Khalil. 😳 No warrant. No formal charge. Just an arrest in the dark of night and transported to an undisclosed location. This is fascism and if you think he’ll stop at Palestinians, you’re sorely mistaken.
I appreciate that Sanders led a rally of 10K in WI to help protect the WI Supreme Court. But y'all, can we stop relying on one Octogenarian to save democracy? We have so many dynamic young speakers that are extremely popular. Why Dems aren't showcasing them front and center nationwide is beyond me.
CBO Report: To achieve budget goals, GOP must cut Medicare or Medicaid What are those goals? -$4.5T in tax cuts for 800 billionaires & a few hundred billion dollar corps, many of whom only currently pay less than 5% tax That's it. That's the GOP goal. Steal from the poor to fund their rich donors.
South Carolina carries out execution by firing squad, first in USA since 2010. A reminder that late last year these 6 MAGA men also intro'd a bill to codify abortion as murder—enabling the horrific scenario that a woman who gets an abortion could be executed by firing squad.
