This is a breathtaking article about the complete clown show at DHS being overseen by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski (gift link)

I want to be clear: Donald Trump’s administration is temporary. California’s commitment is not. He will be gone in three years. Our resolve to confront climate change is enduring and we remain a stable, reliable partner in that fight.

After the state Supreme Court's order today, Virginia Democrats are now one referendum vote away from a 10-1 congressional map. I suspect the GOP is trying to figure out how to file a new lawsuit or concoct a theory for SCOTUS. Both will fail. A big win! www.democracydocket.com/cases/virgin...

New in PN: The Fulton County raid is part of Trump's total war on voting "The SAVE Act is not expected to pass the Senate, but in some ways, it doesn’t really need to. It's already served the same purpose as the raid: undermining confidence in elections by amplifying debunked lies about fraud."

Is there anyone in the Trump admin who isn’t a complete scumbag?

The community note is the icing on the cake.

1/ Friends, today the House passed that bogus voter disenfranchisment act (the SAVE Act) and it is on its way to the Senate. I wrote to my Senators expressing my concerns in hope that they can unite enough folks to make the bill DOA. However, our voices need to be heard -- please consider

Not every issue in our politics needs to be shirts and skins. Republicans don’t need to automatically be against everything Democrats stand for. We could decide together that no president should ever arrest a political opponent for free speech.

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard involves an intercepted conversation in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner. The complaint was locked in a safe for eight months. The allegations about Kushner are significant if verified. (WSJ)

Celebrating 🥳 this win! Senate Democrats blocked a spending bill that would have funded the DHS past a Friday night shutdown deadline!

Today, Republicans in Congress tried to shovel billions to ICE without any restraints whatsoever AGAIN. Their bill doesn’t even make ICE follow the same rules that as local police officers. I voted NO.

Pam Bondi showed us what emotional instability looks like.

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social Please do not pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE America Act, because it is just another Republican plot to silence the voices of folks who are not going to vote for them.

AP: The House voted Wednesday to slap back Trump’s tariffs on Canada, a rare if largely symbolic rebuke of the White House agenda as Republicans joined Democrats over the objections of GOP leadership. OMG, did hell freeze over? #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

New in PN: We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab "Trump’s adulation of Putin could hardly offer a starker warning of just how far he's willing to go, & how much more damage he may be willing to impose, to maintain his grip on power, particularly if — as seems likely — that grip begins to flag"

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.
