NEW: Immigrants Detained in Chicago Military-Style Raid Seek Millions in Damages New accounts from 17 men, women and children who have filed formal claims after being detained in a late-night raid paint a violent and terrifying portrait of the federal agents’ actions.

"It's your job to know that" -- Rep. DeLauro seems to understand that HUD Secretary Scott Turner (who reads from notecards when doing TV hits) is in *way* over his head and asks him a series of factual questions about HUD programs, which of course he can't answer

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

You’ve probably had your limit at this point, please read this explanation of what happened yesterday and share it widely. It’s more important than ever to make sure people understand why we have to vote for democracy and we have to get started now if we want to be able to vote.

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

ICE does not want you to see the cruel reality for children and their families locked up at Dilley. Children like Victor and Monserrat who were picked up at a bus stop miss their dad and school—and it’s not just them. 93 children remain locked up and it’s not right. #FreeOurChildren

Attention all men. More of this, please.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

NEW: I Reached Out to the White House Counterterrorism Czar for Comment. He Lashed Out on X. Sebastian Gorka accused our reporter of writing a “putrid piece of hackery.” Here’s how basic beat reporting led to a broader story about the state of the US counterterrorism mission at a critical moment.

The day before the Supreme Court’s disastrous gutting of the VRA, I signed into law the Maryland Voting Rights Act of 2026. We have a fundamental responsibility to meet this moment, and we’re not waiting for permission to do so.

yeah, so two things. first, i have been saying for some time that *this* is the message. and that it is a broad one that can fit a large number of concerns. and second, this dude has the juice.

In 1998, a court decided that a woman's denim jeans meant she must have consented to being raped. This horrifying ruling inspired Denim Day, a day for sexual violence awareness and solidarity with survivors.

I co-introduced historic legislation to increase the minimum wage to $25. As someone who taught economics at Stanford, here is why it makes sense.

The damage he does. He has no heart. No love for or even awareness of other people. What a blight on the world.

At our city-owned grocery stores, staples like eggs and bread will actually be affordable. And we're going to do it the right way, without cutting workers' pay or dignity. Because in the wealthiest city in this country, buying groceries shouldn't be an unsolvable equation.

New Hungarian PM brutally confronts a news channel that banned him for years.

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

This is so lovely in many ways.

"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought

mamdani being a cheerful normal guy that people project absolute insane things on is one of the things that make him very relatable to me, personally

@deptofwar.bsky.social Sec Hegseth, my grandfather served in WW2. He carried a piece of paper in his pocket the whole time, on which he wrote his favorite Bible verse. It'd mean so much if you could recite this verse at your next speech: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." — Jesus Christ

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

Using your debt, your search history, and your private data to decide how much you’re worth? Hell no. This is what happens when technology is built to serve profit instead of people. This is why every worker needs a union.

Sincerely… NASA couldn’t have chosen a better team of people for this mission. They have been a bright light in the shadowy time here. It’s been a joy to watch. #nasa #artemisii

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

Trump is threatening to commit massive war crimes against the Iranian people starting at 8 pm tonight. He is completely unhinged, and it is long past time for Republicans to speak up. Congress should reconvene immediately and vote to end this war, NOW.

“.. Strip away the shock value for a moment .. This is not a stray remark at a rally. Nor was it a misstatement quickly corrected by staff. This is a public declaration, .. during an active and escalating international crisis.” @thehill.com thehill.com/opinion/whit...

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Tfw a Muslim mayor honors a Christian holy day better than the ‘Christian’ president

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

These billionaires pay their workers so little that many of their workers need public assistance. Meanwhile, their companies just got another round of tax cuts from a bill that gutted the public assistance their workers have to rely on to get by. Trickle-down economics is a sham.

While you slept last night: ~100 million birds took to the skies 🐦 The Mid-Atlantic saw heavy traffic moving north/northeast, with migration hotspots from the Southeast to Ohio Valley and Southern Plains. The overnight rush continues this weekend. Details at cwg.live

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General. Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist. Another reminder that billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

This is what we run on this fall. Also the corruption.

LISTEN. Thank you, Cecellia Wang.
