I don't think we're talking enough about how this Big Dumb Ugly Bill expands ICE by a factor of 20. ($2.2B to $45B) That's 20 times more agents. 20 times more arrests, plus illegal detention centers. Trump is using the bill to create his own paramilitary gestapo.

L.A. mom abducted at gunpoint driving to work—family still doesn't know if masked men were ICE or kidnappers. She was not detained—but taken to border and ordered to self deport. "People had been in that warehouse for months... kept until we agree to sign self deportation paper

‼️Friends, this is very important. Please share this and send the information to media. The United States stopping the supplies of critically important air defense missiles and other weapons is a matter of life and death. If Ukraine runs out of missiles for air defense systems,

It costs taxpayers $89,425 to incarcerate one person at Trump’s “Alligator Alcatraz” per year. That’s more than what 95% of Americans spend on housing and food. Republican priorities: Waste tax dollars torturing immigrants, while cutting support for working class families.

Our $450,000,000 Alligator Alcatraz in Florida Everglades is already flooding. Wonder what’s going to happen in a hurricane. Don’t worry! 17,000,000 are set to lose their health care to help pay for it. We are not a serious country.

McGovern: "So I say to my Republican colleagues -- what's wrong with you people? In this bill you provide a $2 billion tax break for gun silencers, but you cut SNAP benefits for vulnerable families. Jesus Christ!"

FOUR VOTES. If Republicans lose just *four* votes in the House, the health care-killing GOP budget is dead in the water. Here are the Republicans who have already promised to vote against a bill if it made cuts to Medicaid or other changes. 🧵

Bukele’s prison system has become a right-wing fantasy. No trials. No lawyers. No due process. Just barbed wire, muscle, and silence. Florida Republicans visited CECOT earlier this year and called it “inspiring.”

If you want to talk lawlessness, let's talk about your murder rate -- which is 84% higher than CA's.

One thing is quickly becoming clear about “Alligator Alcatraz,” the immigrant detention camp that the state of Florida just opened in the middle of the Everglades: The politicians running the place are bigger lawbreakers than many of the immigrants they’re locking up. 🧵...
