Trump now wants to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda. Why? For daring to stand up to an illegal detention in El Salvador. That’s the reason. Uganda has nothing to do with this case, but that's the response he gets from a cruel, vengeful administration. What has America become?
KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.

The GOP showered billionaires with tax cuts. To try and offset the cost they slashed Medicaid, SNAP, health care, energy assistance and more—and STILL blew up the deficit by $4 trillion. The bill for Tennessee? 310k lose health care, 374k lose food aid, 21k jobs lost, and higher costs for everyone.
Trump is gonna go out with the federal troops. I guess the police too tonight in DC. I hope the boo’s he’ll hear don’t cause him to have an ear problem.BOO!!!!
And he goes on about a Lit of conflict. He claims to have resolved which have nothing to do with this, but his campaign for a peace prize, and says that all the wars have ended except this one. How about Israel and Hamas? Can Donnie get together with BB and get that resolved?
Trump is such an embarrassment. Rather than talk about peace, and the children that have been kidnapped by Russia and the citizens that have been killed. He talks about winning the election in 2000.He talks about mail in ballots. He disparages Biden.He says US to UKR >300Bil. Grok says 68bil.😪🤮👺🤡
Trump said that people were not going to restaurants in Dc until he brought in federal troops and now they’re having the best business ever. I out in DC one or two nights a week and reservations have not been easy to get for years. I doubt Trump has eaten in a DC restaurant. McDonald’s take out
Zelinskyy coming to Washington is not about saving lives and ending war ,it’s “Trump I’d give anything to get an award that Obama received” season 1 episode 2

Putin game set match.He won’t budge from subjugating Ukraine and contending that Zelensky is a Nazi.No return of Ukrainian children,no cease fire, no limits on killing civilians, We need to impose additional sanctions and provide weapons for Ukraine defense. Otherwise blood is on Trumps’ hands.

@repcohen.bsky.social is literally the only elected rep at the Federal level in Tennessee who does town halls open to all. We appreciate it, and him (even though none of us here can vote for him, or anybody decent. Nashville was cracked into 3 MAGA districts in 2022.)
Steve Cohen is hosting a Town Hall Meeting on Monday 8/11 from 6:00–7:30pm to talk about Trump and the GOP’s “One Big Ugly Bill” and what it means for Memphis & TN-9. RSVP here: cohen.house.gov/TownHallRSVP Republicans just passed deep cuts to the public’s safety net. This is a chance to speak! 1/2

@repcohen.bsky.social Thx for the town hall yesterday and for taking my question about possible vote manipulation. The org. is electiontruthalliance.org, and they have explainer videos on youtube. If this did happen, we need to make sure it doesn't happen again. I count on your help to publicize!
The CBO confirms what we’ve been saying: Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history. The poorest 10% lose the most. The richest 10%—the Mar-a-Lago class—cash in. Everyone else gets crumbs. And this is BEFORE tariffs hit.
