I know it's uncomfortable for political leaders to wade into the conversation that's happening in this country in the aftermath of the murder of the United Health CEO. But we need to listen to what people are feeling. And act.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?

Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

1/ A🧵on the danger.
2/ For the last five years, MAGA has been bathed in political violence.

Most importantly, MAGA's celebration of January 6th and Trump's decision to pardon ALL the Jan 6 rioters - including the most violent - became a clear endorsement of violence committed in his name.
3/ But it didn't start with January 6th. Trump regularly threatened protesters at his rallies with violence. He cozied up to brutal dictators abroad who used violence to maintain political control.

There was no comparison in Democratic messaging.

Trump uses antisemitism as a false pretext to suppress dissent. It's disgusting, because as as this investigation outlines, Trump gives hiring preferences to people with strong ties to antisemites.

1/ A short summary of what they found. It's important.
npr.org/2025/05/14/nx-…
2/ White House official Paul Ingrassia is a vocal follower of white supremacist and antisemite Nick Fuentes. At a Fuentes rally Ingrassia attended, Fuentes exclaimed "calling Donald Trump a racist only makes me like him more!", and the crowd chanted "Down With Israel!" Image
Image
3/ Before coming to the White House, Trump official Rachel Cauley was a key defender of Jan 6 rioter Tim Hale Cusanelli, an avowed antisemite. In an one video rant, he called Orthodox Jews "a plague of locusts". Cauley attended his trial for support, and sat with his followers. Image

Rightfully, the cuts to Medicaid (over 10M people will lose their health care) and the tax cuts for the rich have been the story of the disastrous Republican budget bill.

But I read the whole thing. And there are some hidden rats in there you need to know about.

1/ A quick🧵
2/ A hidden provision of the bill...wait for it...legalizes gun silencers!! What?? So now criminals will be able to hide their crimes and police will lose the ability to respond to mass shootings. WTF.

3/ The bill BANS states from regulating artificial intelligence - a present to the big AI companies that send $$ to Republicans.

So now no state consumer protections against AI stealing our jobs or corrupting our kids. What citizen is asking for that??

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption.

I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents.

1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.
2/ The Trump crypto coin - the biggest scandal in the history of the American presidency.
3/ Trump ends enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, so that his staff can more easily get paid on the side by foreign governments and companies seeking to bribe the Trump Administration.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis.

The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall.

1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.
2/ First, just know that MAGA has given up on democracy. Wish it weren't true but it is. They would rather MAGA rule forever than run a fair election where a Democrat might win.

This isn't some vengeance campaign. It's a brazen effort to end democracy.
rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
3/ MAGA doesn't want democracy because they want power forever. But also to get away with the thievery and corruption.

A true democracy would hold Trump accountable for the mass scale corruption - the crypto coin, the insider trading, the Musk self dealing etc. Image

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.
2/ Abrego Garcia came to the U.S. over 10 years ago. He married a U.S. citizen and has three U.S. citizen children.

But he put in removal proceedings because he didn't apply for asylum in time and because of alleged ties to drug gangs. He denies any gang affiliation.
3/ You can think whatever you want about the merits of him staying (his U.S. family, his steady job) or being deported (the alleged gang affiliation), there's really only one key fact:

A court ruled he CANNOT be deported to El Salvador bc he would face threat of death there.
