🚨 Some Democrats might fully cave in the DHS funding fight and back a new "deal" struck by Trump and GOP senators to fund Border Patrol and some ICE operations — potentially without any reforms. That means we need to flood Democratic phonelines today.

The DC Council agreed unanimously that MPD should report federal agents who use force. Mayor Bowser just rejected this basic move to protect DC communities & chose instead the side of Trump, ICE, & this regime. We call on the Council to override this veto now. lims.dccouncil.gov/Legislation/...

The Trump administration said it has launched two new investigations into Harvard University over alleged antisemitism on campus and racially discriminatory admissions practices

You might be wondering why Trump is deploying ICE agents and now threatening the National Guard to airports. It’s not about helping TSA or improving security. It’s a test run.

The Pentagon is asking for a $200 billion supplemental package. And the 2,500 troops sent by sea yesterday will not even reach the Middle East for weeks. This war is not ending anytime soon. They know it.

It is completely tasteless and unacceptable for the sitting President of the United States to celebrate anybody’s death — let alone someone who served this country. Donald Trump continues to show us time and time again that there are no limits to how low he is willing to go.

Washington state just passed a law banning law enforcement (including federal ICE agents) from wearing masks or face coverings while on duty. Gov. Bob Ferguson signed it Thursday and it took effect immediately.

Absolutely f***ing dystopian

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.
