🚨 Look at this. Aerial footage of Philadelphia right now. This is the No Kings protest. Peaceful. Massive. Organized. This is not fringe. This is not outside agitators. This is Americans who voted, pay taxes, send their kids to school, and have watched for months.

Vigeland: Mike Johnson terrified that if he moves an inch away from the president—who's absolutely out of control, his dementia rantings are insane—he's going to lose his job.  That means that everybody who is experiencing all these horrible incidents with their travel, that's because Mike Johnson's afraid to lose his job. And all those TSA agents that have to work without pay as ICE stands over their shoulder. That's Mike Johnson.

.@stephenasmith: You’re down in Texas and as a right-winger, you're about to go left because of what you're seeing? Voter: I'm gonna vote for Mr. Talarico, man, 100%. I haven't voted Democratic since I was 20 years old. I am absolutely disgusted with the way things are going. James Talarico is a different deal. He speaks from the heart. I know some of the people he knows. The guy is the real deal, man.

ICE pays bounties to local cops for arresting immigrants for civil infractions and then sending them to ICE, which helps fill the ICE arrest quotas. What an insane set of incentives

ICE detain Colombian refugee—wife of active duty soldier in U.S. Army. "I raised my right hand twice to serve this country, and this is how they treat me," he said. Wife was placed on National Victim Registry by government—faces near certain death if deported. Over 2 months is how long Maryan Slagle has been locked up at the Stewart Detention Center—despite being granted parole while her asylum case is pending. Army Specialist Matthew Slagle is currently stationed at Hunter Army Airfield—over 4 hours away. "I wear my country's flag over my heart every day in uniform, and my country is turning around and doing this."

TSA workers have been going a month with no paycheck and they’re pissed that ICE agents are getting paid to chill and play airport cop. “TSA officers are sickened that we have unqualified DHS employees walking the airports, with pay, while we all suffer doing our qualified work unpaid.”

Marc Short on Witkoff/Kushner: Having two real estate developers in charge of foreign policy in Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran is concerning. There is a reason you want people to be Senate-confirmed: so they can be questioned by Congress about the deals they are making.

@LeaderJohnThune @SenatorRounds this is a viable solution to ensuring solvency of Social Security.
David M. Cecala@cecala_david

The taxable income cap for social security rises each year. The 12.4 percent rate is for the self employed otherwise it’s split evenly between you and your employer. The effective tax rate of large earners goes down significantly the more they earn. The problem doesn’t get solved by raising the cap, but does kick the can down the road. From @grok How Raising or Eliminating the Cap Would Help Social Security Solvency The current cap (about $176,100 in 2025) covers roughly 83% of total covered wages. Only earnings below it are subject to the payroll tax; higher earnings are exempt. Proposals generally fall into two categories: 1. Raise the cap gradually (e.g., to cover 90% of all wages, as envisioned in the 1977 amendments): This would close ~20% of the 75-year shortfall. 2. Eliminate the cap entirely: • With benefit credits for the additional taxed earnings (maintaining the traditional link between contributions and benefits): Closes ~53% of the shortfall and extends solvency to roughly 2059. • Without benefit credits (tax all earnings but don’t increase benefits for high earners): Closes ~73% of the shortfall and extends solvency to roughly 2066 (or even 2080 in some estimates).
