fantastic article that paints a very clear picture: Zohran Mamdani is not afraid to fight, and the rest of the Dems cannot be afraid to join him

Swear her in.

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Trump would rather shut down the government than work with us to protect Americans’ health care. But of course he’s eager to use $20 billion of taxpayer money to bail out his authoritarian buddy in Argentina. It's Trump and his cronies first, everyone else, last.

Talisman said he has flagged this Hyattsville, MD ICE incident to his representatives, including Democratic senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks, as well as the Democratic Rep. Glenn Ivey. www.thedailybeast.com/ice-arrest-g...

Pritzker: “ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace.”

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation. She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

Come out Friday, Oct 3 to the Avelo Airlines Takedown Dance Party! Park at the Amtrak/Marc Station BWI Airport at 7 Amtrak Way, Hanover, MD and dance up the path to the overpass.

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

The suggestion that chemical agents like tear gas or pepper spray could be used indiscriminately against peaceful demonstrators, or even first responders, is unacceptable and not normal.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...

@govwesmoore.bsky.social what are you doing to persuade Maryland Senate to act?

It’s outrageous that Jimmy Kimmel is still censored on millions of Maryland TVs because Sinclair won’t stand up to Trump and his FCC’s threats to free speech. Their shameful bowing to the Dear Leader comes at the expense of viewers and the principle of freedom of expression.

NEW: Trump said he wants Erik Siebert, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, removed because two Democrats voted to confirm him in Congress. Siebert is overseeing two high-profile investigations into two Trump foes: Letitia James and James Comey.

House and Senate Democrats have begun investigations into the Trump administration’s decision to close a criminal inquiry into Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar.

> @captmarkkelly.bsky.social

NEW: Ed Martin, the head of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) vague weaponization task force, in a recent letter threatened to open a criminal investigation into a now-retired FBI special agent who sued the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over Jones’ lies about a mass school shooting.

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Each time we post about Oct. 18 No Kings Day, someone might repost it, and another person who sees the repost could decide to attend! And so on. Share the info everywhere you can! 🍃

Check this out—DC’s station (which reaches many of us in Maryland) is the top Sinclair property. How to pressure them through advertisers and more to reverse their stance against #freespeech ⭐️

On Saturday morning, protesters gathered outside BNA calling for a boycott of budget airline Avelo, which contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The last time the U.S. hosted the World Cup, a ticket to the final was <$200 — in today's dollars. Next year, we're looking at *face value* tickets of $6,000. I joined Lina Khan on @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social last week to talk about FIFA's absurd and greedy ticketing plans.

GN 💚folks. We'll be dreaming sweet dreams about @lastweektonight.com "Look at some point, you're going to have to draw a line[...] instead of rolling over why not stand up and use four key words they don't tend to teach you in business school? [...] Fuck you. Make me." youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g?...

Although ABC is bringing Jimmy Kimmel back tomorrow night, Sinclair Broadcasting is indicating that it will not air his program on their stations/affiliates. Please go to the link below. If one of their stations is in your area, CALL THEM AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Been talking to people quite a bit about how it's easy to understand "cancel Disney+!" but harder to understand the initial and bigger problem is with Nexstar and Sinclair, so lemme make it easier. Find your local Nexstar channel Find your local Sinclair channel

Sinclair is not heeding the warning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You have the power, people. Use it. Find your local grassroots organization and get active. You, and your friends and neighbors that you bring along- you can make a difference.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

*sees Disney dropped a Star Wars trailer today* *taps the sign*

4th deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the others: -in area US military operates freely -arrest low risk -no legal rationale -violates international law -no evidence of who US hit If really traffickers—very much an if—the move is interdiction. Would get evidence and intelligence.

This excellent idea of a youth service corps keeps coming up and deserves to be implemented. Any way that the US can get folks out of their silos is good. And the work the corps does will benefit the country and the participants will gain skills and confidence. www.nytimes.com/2021/07/02/o...

Come on Marylanders. Let’s be the next state to stop ICE and DHS agents from hiding behind masks and covering badges. Sign the petition now. chng.it/Xpx8CfZS74

NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom just signed a law making California the first state in the nation to prohibit federal law enforcement officers, including ICE, from hiding their identities.

Perhaps the part that stands out the most about this Tom Homan bombshell: Someone(s) at the FBI leaked this to these reporters. Someone(s) who was disgusted by the injustice of this case being scuttled and who loathes the current FBI/DOJ leadership for their involvement. This is glorious payback.

If you live in California you now have one goal: Convince and encourage every family member, friend and neighbor that supporting the (eventual) redistricting referendum is the right thing to do. Do NOT automatically assume it will pass because just you’re in a blue state. WORK FOR IT!

Trump is all illusion and spectacle. The L.A. protests and non-existent “riots” spanned only a few blocks in Los Angeles. Pierce the veil. Expose the nonsense. Cities Trump is attacking are doing just fine. Reject the propaganda. Thank you comedian Josh Johnson m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea0A...

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."

Is Trump looking to get control over the Venezuelan nationalized oil company and rich reserves of crude oil? Or to get US into war as a way to affect US elections? Or both? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...
