Okay, Los Angeles. Round 2. The first time an inexperienced reality star ran for office, he crashed the economy and ended up on the Epstein files. Do not vote for Spencer Pratt.

Pedophilia, insurrection, and corruption, yet Stephen Colbert is the one losing his job.

Mark Cuban just blew Tom Steyer’s chances of becoming Governor of California.

Deaths in ICE custody have reached a record high; 49 people since January 2025. As many as 29 just in this fiscal year. But the Trump administration is shutting down an independent DHS oversight office that handles complaints about conditions and treatment in detention facilities.

Unregulated social media gave us QAnon, January 6th, and a spike in child depression. Unregulated AI will be much, much worse.

I’ve read my book all throughout the United States, but no reading has been more powerful than the one I did with Stacey Abrams outside the Dilley detention center for the #readthemhome campaign.

To everyone who said “We have to get behind the leading Democrat in the California’s governors race no matter what” and are now silent because Xavier Becerra took the lead… 🖕

Tucker Carlson is running for President. Don’t be fooled by his crocodile tears.

Since Xavier Becerra is trending, let me remind you he’s a son of farmworkers who graduated from Stanford Law, became the CA Attorney General, and was the U.S. Secretary of Health & Human Services when that department still believed in vaccinations.

NEW: The mass shootings at Tumbler Ridge and FSU raise urgent questions about people using ChatGPT and other chatbots to plan deadly violence—which is happening far beyond those cases, my new investigation shows www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0... 🧵

Proud to stand with Stacey Abrams, Mychal Threets, Jenn Stowe, and all the #ReadThemHome national partners, as we continue our national online vigil to end the inhumane detention of children and families.

I’m outside the Dilley detention center today reading my book out loud to help #EndFamilyDetention ❤️‍🩹 Do your part. Read aloud. Share your video. Tag #ReadThemHome. Help us bring these kids home. @domesticworkers.bsky.social @fwd.us @neatoday.bsky.social @seiu.org

80% of Americans now believe Trump started the war with Iran to distract from the Epstein files. The other 20% are in the Epstein files.

"As we continue to reckon with Chavez’ legacy, we must highlight the survivors, not just the perpetrator. So when it comes to that list of women and girls who process in silence, it’s important we do what my loved one told me to do that Wednesday morning: “Read it out loud.”

Lies and incoherence on almost everything at this point… “President Trump, who has long railed against mail-in voting—including on Monday, when he called it “mail-in-cheating”—used the method himself in a Florida special election scheduled to take place on Tuesday.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

Like many this morning, I feel heartbroken and betrayed by Cesar Chavez. But like Ms. Lopez, who was one of his victim’s, beautifully stated, “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes. The movement — that’s the hero.”

Great to see the courts rebuke RFK Jr.'s insanity on vaccines... which has been his most attention-grabbing insanity but is far from his only insanity www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The most powerful thing I was told as a producer on the Los Lobos documentary that premiered at SXSW was, “I felt like I was taken to church.”

David Zaslav is doing to Hollywood what Donald Trump did to America. Huge job losses, the rapid destruction of the middle class, majority of people now living paycheck to paycheck, and all so they can further enrich themselves. The problem is the billionaires, not the working class.

Trump's self-dealing is truly off the scales — eclipsing even the biggest corruption scandal of the First Gilded Age. It's a new Golden Age for grifting. [@brennancenter.org]

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social

Now that we’ve had the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show, can we please have the AOC working-class-focused presidency.

Somewhere around minute 35, @rafaelagustin.bsky.social gives the most beautiful example of my current mentality around success & fulfillment that stopped me dead in my tracks on a walk yesterday. 💛 10/10 highly recommend for some perspective on achievement. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

It’s no surprise Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are deciding to visit the White House after everything ICE has done to Los Angeles because MLB has the most Republican players out of any league, even more than NHL or NFL.

The 10 companies to boycott during February: - Microsoft - Apple - Amazon - Google - Meta - OpenAI - Netflix - Paramount+ - Uber - X

So the tech elites pretended that Trump was better for America than Kamala just to protect themselves from the release of the Epstein files.

He was a preschooler with a Spider-Man backpack on. He was detained by ICE. He looks like any other American child wearing an oversized blue knitted cap with fluffy bunny ears. Unless, of course, you think American simply means white.

Sinners has set a new record for most Oscar nominations today, yet Rolling Stone omitted it from its 2025 Top 20 Movies list. This is why predominately white institutions are in desperate need of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

There’s a clear pattern to how Trump has long been building toward the Insurrection Act. He isn’t “unhinged”—his horrid responses to ICE shootings, assassinations, and mass killings are by design. National traumas are his ammo. I document his method here 👉🏻 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Spotify is no longer running ICE recruitment ads on their platform, and it only took an artist boycott, a listener boycott, an innocent woman being murdered in Minneapolis, an innocent man being murdered in California, and 32 human beings (that we know of) dying in ICE detention in 2025.

The great irony of Marco Rubio leading the charge in Venezuela is that he made his career pretending his family escaped communist Cuba, only to be revealed later that his family really escaped the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Cuba.

If you hate refugees, immigrants, and undocumented workers, then you of all people have to help stop U.S. foreign policy, like what just happened in Venezuela, which only creates more refugees, immigrants, and undocumented workers.

Since CBS cut off Raul de Molina during their live NYE broadcast with Ryan Seacrest, let me clearly reiterate what he was trying to say: WE HOPE THAT THINGS GET BETTER FOR THE LATINO COMMUNITY AND FOR IMMIGRANTS IN 2026.

The real “Patriot Games” is putting every Trump supporter, ICE defender, and Epstein files redactor in a ring with Anthony Joshua.

50 Cent now needs to do a docuseries on Jeffrey Epstein. Like Diddy, you know Epstein didn’t pay his videographers.

"One of the most staggering things is that the Roberts Court has ruled for President Trump 90 percent of the time in shadow docket cases. Lower courts keep restraining the president but the Supreme Court is repeatedly saying that the president and his party are above the law"

The Sackler family did more to ignite the Fentanyl crisis than Venezuela yet the President is not going after them.

If MAGA would just replace “illegals” with “billionaires,” they’d be able to crack the code.

Who else is ready to bring up politics at Thanksgiving just to save money at Christmas?

People are surprised that Univision is collaborating with ICE and DHS to run anti-immigrants ads in Spanish. Don’t forget that the owners of that network are white and privileged before they are Mexican.

The new Mayor of New York was raised on a healthy dose of Jane The Virgin.

People who hate Obamacare but love the Affordable Care Act are like people who hate lip balm but love Chapstick.

The Constitution is not self-enforcing. The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms. And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People. No one is coming to save us. It's entirely up to us.

I wonder how U.S. farmers are feeling about their Trump vote after he said he prefers his beef and soy beans with chimichurri.

There were 160,000 jobs in Hollywood in 2022. Today, we have fallen below 95,000 jobs. We’re about to lose one of the greatest American exports of all time.

Lies spread six times faster when laced with fear, anger, and hate. Algorithms aren’t designed to tell us fact from fiction. They’re designed to maximize user engagement and platform activity, even at the cost of tearing our country apart.

Young Republicans sound like Hitler Youth. And that’s only one published group chat.

Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of reddit, said the platform would not exist if ICE had been around to kidnap his formerly undocumented mother.
