A felon married to an immigrant with anchor baby kids who wears makeup every day is telling us the problem is felons, immigrants, anchor babies, and men who wear makeup.

Do I have that right?

German chancellor Merz casually dismisses Germany's (already insufficient) #climate targets. In an hour-long talkshow interview, he was asked to complete some sentences:

Host: "That the current heat wave is a sign of climate change ..."
Merz: "... is partially true, but surely not exclusively."

Host: "That [economics minister] Katharina Reiche questions the 2045 climate target ...'
Merz: "... has something to do with a realistic view of what we can actually achieve."

Ja, man muss sich zwar anmelden (Daten!), aber jede andere Petition danach ist mit nur zwei Klicks zu unterschreiben/unterstützen. Und es sind "echte" Petitionen, mit denen sich der Bundestag befassen muss, wenn das Quorum erfüllt wurde..

If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes.

If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working.

If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to "do it the right way".

If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals.

If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution.

If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border.

If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy.

And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.

You've been following me for years in the NYT opinion section about how the Trump admin isn't listening to courts. Our institutions are starting to fail and I think Democrats in the next election will have a lot of work to do to win back voters,

After I answer the loud banging at my door, an important🧵 about next steps 1/n
