ICE is using your tax dollars to target children. A child in my district was deported days before the start of the school year. We are demanding answers on why K-12 students are being arrested and whether the Department of Education is fulfilling their obligations to students in custody.

Republicans talk a big game about toning down political violence. But last week I called for a vote on my bill that would have given all Americans, including judges and other elected officials like this necessary privacy protections to stay safe. Republicans blocked it.

It’s fucking insane

Where are the people who were so outraged that Biden asked google to pull misinfo at Covid, now that Trump has made Apple pull the ice tracker app

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it." - Abraham Lincoln

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump really believed that he had a strong position here, then why did you back out of the meeting bro?"

Republicans are making a power-grab, and they’re not stopping with Texas. Dave Daley talks redistricting on a new episode of the LP Podcast, out tomorrow on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLincolnProject

Whatever he has the symptoms are being fat and bad at golf

Trump is trying to hide the back of his right hand from cameras but here you can see the nasty bruising on it

"For a party that talks about state rights, it's amazing how they're having such a big government approach." - Governor Wes Moore on Trump's unconstitutional ICE actions

Abrego Garcia judge is critical of the gov’t’s position & prohibits his deportation to Uganda at this time. The gov’t’s, undoubtedly expecting this agrees not to deport.

NOW: Judge Xinis is presiding over a writ petition filed by Mr. Abrego. She's proposing the government respond by Wednesday, and a hearing Friday at 11 AM. She says extending a TRO is necessary because there appears to be a violation of the law. 1/

Immigrants pursuing lawful pathways to live here are being snatched from ICE offices and courtrooms immediately after routine check-ins and court hearings. Arresting and deporting people legally seeking asylum is illegal, unconstitutional, and un-American.

Trump serves billionaires while working families pay the price.

Trump and his Republican allies poked the bear – and California is responding. The CA state legislature passed a measure to give CA voters the choice to counter extreme gerrymandering. Thank you, Governor Newsom and CA state legislators for protecting our democracy.

Donald Trump’s senseless tariff wars continue to raise costs for everyday Americans. Meanwhile, his billionaire donors are getting $264 a day in tax cuts. You deserve better.

*Offer doesn’t apply to Epstein clients

Social Security is a fundamental promise in America – a sacred promise that each generation takes care of those who came before them. As Trump and Republicans continue to target Social Security for cuts, I will do everything possible to stop them and protect this program.

The court ruled that Alina Habba is unlawfully serving at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/n...

Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force. "Agents said they worried the changes would transform the FBI from an investigative agency focused on national security into something more akin to a federal police force..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...

Just a reminder that about half of families in America can’t afford a $1,000 emergency – but Trump’s tariffs are likely to cost the average family $2,400 this year. That means these tariffs could push people out of their homes and into poverty.

HOLY SH*T

When Trump took office, the effective tariff rate was below 3%. Now it’s over 18%. Unless he backs down again, your prices are going to skyrocket… and this administration will be directly to blame.

Chicago is not going to sit down for this shit. It is illegal, it is un-American, and it comes very close to declaring war on America.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court STRIKES DOWN Alabama's state Senate map for violating VRA sec 2 by diluting Black voting power in Montgomery. Alabama must now draw a new compliant map. Status conference is set for Aug. 28 to facilitate remedial proceedings. www.democracydocket.com/cases/alabam...

Vague commitments. Dubious legality. Trump’s latest trade “deal” has all the markings of a shakedown that will keep Americans’ costs higher and jeopardize the global economy. Ranking Member @reprichardneal.bsky.social's full statement: democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center...

WIN: A federal court rules that Alabama’s state Senate map unfairly dilutes Black voting power in Montgomery, violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The state must now draw a new map that complies with Section 2.

Trump's ego is hurt and health is uncertain - he's weak. Catch the latest episode of the LP Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwlSthFm9tA

Watching JD Vance lie about the Biden and Trump Justice Departments and FBI investigations in @kristenwelker.bsky.social makes it clear that every word out of his mouth, including a and the, is a lie.

The reports of famine in Gaza are unconscionable. It’s long past time for President Trump to use his leverage to push for the release of significantly more humanitarian aid.

Ford: “We are in a global competition with China. And if we lose this, we do not have a future at Ford.” Trump: Let’s lose this race to buy fossil fuel a few more years.

Unless they’re protecting our nation’s capital. #J6

We all know whose side he's on.

This is fantastic news and I am thrilled for Kilmar Abrego Garcia! The Trump administration must stop their unfounded investigations and let his family remain together. abcnews.go.com/Politics/kil...

California Democrats approved a package of bills Thursday, placing a new congressional map on a November special election ballot. But Texas and California’s map duel may be just the opening salvo in a redistricting war between red and blue states.

Trump says that DC having a week with no homicides was something that happened "for the first time in memory." The last time that happened was March, where there was a 16-day streak without a homicide.

This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

Trump is telling us his plan for 2026. Those of us who care about free and fair elections must take him seriously and literally. We cannot simply bring guns to a gun fight. We need to bring missiles.

"The actions add up to an unprecedented attempt by a sitting president to interfere in a critical election before it’s even held, moves that have raised alarms among those concerned about the future of U.S. democracy..." apnews.com/article/trum...

I for one am concerned.

NEWS: A NY appeals court has voided Trump’s $500M fraud judgment, ruling it an “excessive fine.” The court still found Trump, his sons & company liable for years of fraud. The case now heads to state’s top court.

Not enough reporters are asking the question: Why the hell did Donald Trump send three warships and 4,000 troops to Venezuela? You may not be shocked to learn the answer is Pete Hegseth’s pal, international terrorist Erik Prince—who has a new Blackwater. www.mind-war.com/p/why-did-tr...

Did they speak back to him?

Looks like I.C.E. is in D.C. for more than just bringing down crime rates. Does this look like the worst of the worst?

👏👏👏Every! Damn! Word! This lady brilliantly calls out the Texas Republicans for kowtowing to a rapist to steal 5 Congressional seats instead of prioritizing the victims of the floods. We need more of this from everyday Americans. Absolute💥🔥💥right here! Check it out!👇👇
