This is precisely why the Virginia Attorney General’s race will be consequential. If Republican Jason Miyares is re-elected, he will fight AGAINST new Democratic maps…and fight FOR Donald Trump. I hope all Virginia Democrats think long and hard about this when they cast their ballots.

Bannon: we have a plan and Trump will be president in 2028. A normal country would see this and freak out.

There are appropriated funds for USDA set aside for this very situation, but they're holding it hostage in case they its need for hurricane relief...?? Which we all know they also do not care about. Call your reps and demand use of the USDA contingency fund for SNAP --> 5calls.org/issue/wic-sn...

California is investing over $140M in more than 100 Planned Parenthood centers to ensure patients and families continue receiving essential care. We won’t turn away from our communities, even as the Trump Administration defunds the very clinics providing life-saving services.

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

10 HOURS! He’s been holding the Senate Floor for 10 hours!

HAPPENING RIGHT NOW: Oregon Senator @merkley.senate.gov is holding the Senate floor. He’s been speaking for five straight hours.

Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District is the state’s only Republican seat. It represents 16.55% of the Oregon population, but 22% of the state’s #SNAP participants. In 10 days, all SNAP benefits will stop. You okay with that, Rep. Cliff Bentz? www.kgw.com/article/life...

OMG @annabower.bsky.social

22 arrests. All Maga. Including this armed terrorist with a gun who assaulted a woman. I think we know who the violent ones are. #NoKings

@maddow.msnbc.com Best sign of the day here in Eugene, Oregon!

ProPublica reports that ICE fascists have detained at least 170 US CITIZENS. ICE fascists "dragged, tackled, beat, tased, and shot them." At least 3 women were pregnant, one had her door blown off while Noem watched. All have one thing in common—they're brown Latino Americans. This Is Fascism.

On Thursday night, the Woodburn Education Association, which represents more than 300 licensed educators in the mid-Willamette Valley school district, proposed a new article to the contract currently being negotiated — protecting staff from Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

Good news! In the past 24 hrs, a judge extended a temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking National Guard deployment to Portland for another 14 days; a federal appeals court upheld a similar TRO in Chicago; and a judge ordered ICE officers to wear body cameras in Chicago. #BabyAnimalsHaveGoodNews

Folks, if ICE shot a pastor in the head with a pepper ball on camera, what do you think they do to people behind closed doors?

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Trump could’ve sent National Guard troops from anywhere. He could’ve sent them from a red state. I mean, Idaho is RiGhT ThErE! He chose California. Why? There has to be a reason other than just being a jerk.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

“The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts.” — U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut (appointed by Trump) re: National Guard deployment to #Portland.

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

People keep calling the cop stupid for arresting someone over a bottle of perfume. But it wasn’t stupidity; it was likely deliberate. Cops need probable cause to arrest, and calling the perfume ‘suspicious’ gave him cover. Not clueless, calculated.

My vocabulary of swear words falls woefully short of meeting the moment.

Now I get why one of the very first things Trump did was get law firms to donate 1000s of pro bono hours to the WH. This HAD to come first, because it’s a lot easier to get people to do illegal things if you assure them they won’t have to pay for a lawyer afterwards. 1/2

The inhumanity is accelerating. There are multiple reports of ICE agents laughing as kids scream and cry, and one in this raid saying literally “fuck them kids.”

Now we're talking: Hakeem Jeffries just called JD Vance's bluff and challenged Trump and GOP leaders to meet TOMORROW in front of the press to discuss the shutdown. Allow the cameras in. Full transparency.

The headline of our nightmares.

Trump: "San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles...That's a war too. It's a war from within...I told Pete, we should use some of these cities as training grounds for our military — national guard, but military. We're going into Chicago very soon."

There are approximately 800 people in a room in Prince William County, Va., and right now every single one of them is thinking, “This could’ve been an email.”

JUST IN: Judge Simon sets a restraining order hearing for *tonight* on Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Oregon. Suggests he could issue a very quick order.

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Hang on, #Portland! Eugene is sending reinforcements. Just give us a sec to muster our troops.

Gov. Tina Kotek and Attorney General Dan Rayfield made the announcement at a joint news conference Sunday afternoon.

With the mainstream media distracted by James Comey’s indictment, Trump has signed a little-noticed National Security Presidential Memorandum identifying 'anti-Christian' and 'anti-American' views as indicators of radical left violence. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...
