Trump’s election rigging ends with California. Your community is counting on you. Vote YES on Prop 50 and mail in your ballot TODAY!

Texas received over a billion dollars for “migrant aid” while busing people to Chicago and violating human rights over and over again. Now they’re getting $12 billion in the big beautiful bill to recomp for “expenses” like building a border wall— Illinois should sue.

Health care premiums will skyrocket by as much as 300% in Colorado if Republicans allow ACA health care tax credits to expire. Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to preserve this lifeline for families and small businesses.

"U.S. citizens, immigrants with legal status and children have been among those detained in increasingly brazen and aggressive encounters..." apnews.com/article/chic...

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Matt Hayward: The healthcare price hike message is very effective for a number of reasons...

If you didn't already think the #BigUglyBill was essentially a ban on clean energy, you should now. Overnight GOP added a new tax on wind and solar while giving a new subsidy to COAL, most of which gets exported. Meanwhile the rest of us will pay more for less energy.

Reconciliation amendment watch: @sanders.senate.gov will push to axe the $211B estate tax break. The amount the wealthy can inherit w/o paying tax is set to revert to $14M this yr. The GOP bill hikes the exemption to $30M. Wealthy heirs wd get a $6.4M tax break. 99.8% of families would get $0.

The lawlessness of Trump’s police state apparatus made it inevitable people would impersonate ICE agents to kidnap people. Running around with ski masks, no id & unmarked cars creates an anything goes atmosphere. It’s why we’re advancing legislation to ban anonymous heavily masked law enforcement.

Amid allegations of inhumane and unsanitary conditions in ICE facilities, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking further steps to continue skirting congressional oversight. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

OC Register reports the US Justice Dept. is suing Orange County Register of Voters Bob Page for allegedly not providing complete voter data for non-citizens who were removed from voter registration lists.

69% of deported residents in CA have not been convicted of any crime.

Trump has turned ICE into an authoritarian secret police force, allowing masked agents to terrorize immigrant communities. @repespaillat.bsky.social and I introduced the No Secret Police Act to ban these face masks and bring accountability and transparency to immigration enforcement.

The Trump Administration had Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche sit in on the nomination hearing for Emil Bove yesterday. They were there to keep a watchful eye on committee Republicans – and try to prevent the rejection of another patently unfit nominee as we did with Ed Martin.

In addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and adding trillions to the deficit, other parts of Trump’s Budget are also harmful and unpopular. We need to make sure more people learn about them.

Every American should be deeply troubled by this massive escalation, and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov are standing strong for judicial independence. This is an unmistakable descent further into authoritarian chaos.

Donald Trump is waging an all-out assault on our democracy and rule of law. After openly defying a Supreme Court order, calling for judges to be impeached, and bullying and belittling judges when he doesn’t like their decisions, today the FBI took the extreme and dangerous step arresting a judge.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration. This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power. It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

The times require that elected officials be not just representatives of our communities and states but organizers defending American constitutional democracy and leaders out of this lapse into authoritarian rule. Watch this clip from @podsaveamerica.crooked.com:

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Laguna Woods Dem Club "Tax" Protest. 4/12

Our meeting full of eager activists!

This should lead to criminal charges against Leland Dudek and the people at DOGE who did this. I’m deadly serious about it. They committed fraud by deliberately marking people dead who were alive.
