Sen. Ossoff: "In the wealthiest country in the world, no one should go without care for lack of money."
Generations of Americans have fought and died for the right to vote.
We’re not going to let some thin-skinned, wannabe dictator come along and take that all away.

The man who has grifted more than $1 billion off the presidency is launching a “war on fraud.”
Give me a break.
Let’s be crystal clear about what’s happening.
President Trump is going to try and interfere in the 2026 elections.
Been there, looks like it tasted amazing too!

Because MMA fans are notorious libs...
Obviously all the age apologists ("it's not like they were 4! 16-year-olds only became off limits because of m
Me Too!" Etc.) are just objectively the worst, and would not be saying the same things if this wasn't associated with Trump. However, I wonder if it reads as more believable 🧵
They made ICE larger than all of the federal law enforcement agencies combined.
When you build a beast that large, it's got to eat.
And we're witnessing it eat and consume the bodies of ordinary citizens. It is out of control.
Trump is trying to seize control of our elections because he knows he is going to lose.
These are maneuvers of an authoritarian desperate to cling on to power.
But we will not be dissuaded.
We will not be intimidated.
We will stand up for our democracy.
Here’s the unspoken truth.
ICE has become accountable to one person only: Donald Trump.
He is building a paramilitary force with no guardrails and it’s already trampling our rights as Americans.
Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.
We are witnessing the spiraling spiritual death of our nation in real time.
We have to stand up in this moral moment.
This is about who we are as Americans.
Balls!

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

ICE isn't law enforcement without training; ICE is white nationalism with guns.
You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.
I will vote NO on the funding bill for Trump’s ICE.
They are killing Americans.
Detaining children.
Trampling our freedoms.
We are losing our humanity.
This is a defining moment for our nation. A moment for moral courage. We must stand together and say no.

Oh hai. Everything happens so much these days. Need a bit of a breather. A long form conversation about something relevant but not the last 30 seconds of The Discourse? May I humbly suggest "Stuff is Contingent with Andy and Matt" with me and @thehangedman.com mimeographzineaf.net/if-you-have-...
Every D could say something like:
"ICE is a corrupt, lawbreaking agency and everyone working for it should resign immediately. We are ultimately going to abolish ICE and come for every single ICE agent or leader who broke the law. In the meantime, we're cutting off all additional funding."
Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.
The first numbers are in.
Over 1 million fewer people have signed up for insurance on the ACA than at this time last year. This is Trump's premium hikes at work.
In the wealthiest nation on earth, millions are being forced to go without health care.
It's a moral tragedy.
