NEW: The Ninth Circuit votes AGAINST an en banc rehearing of the case on the deployment of the California National Guard to LA, leaving the panel decision permitting the deployment intact. Eleven judges file a dissent. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

NYC’s Dept. of Education spends around $10 billion/year on contracts. Many provide essential services to our schools, yet with over 3,000 active contracts, DOE faces major efficiency challenges. DOE needs procurement reform. Yesterday I announced my platform to deliver it.

The day after the Chinatown raid, New York AG Tish James launches an online portal for the public to submit photos and videos of ICE activity. "We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law," she writes. Portal ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

ok let me get this straight. JB Pritzker: - is having state cops run interference for ICE in Broadview - cut thousands of immigrants' health insurance - is running interference for his friends who had their taxes cut on both a corporate and individual level www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It's amazing the degree to which this country is being taken over by nazis. Meanwhile, a solid portion of the left from centrist libs to leftists are defending a fucking totenkopf tattoo. This is bleak as hell.

This is important because what they’re actually defending is the right to get a Nazi tattoo without consequences in public life. These people don’t know or care about the guy they’re defending.

I honestly don't think centrists believe anything at all. Just as I don't want to see a "mainstream" presidential candidate who hounds homeless people and abandons trans people, I don't want a "progressive" Senator with a Nazi tattoo. The uprights aren't narrow here. This shouldn't be hard.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

this feels completely banal? yes, a big tent political party is going to include voters who have bigoted views. i don’t think anyone has argued otherwise? the actual question at hand is “to what extent should a political party ostensibly committed to equality appeal to popular prejudices?”

"I kind of questioned it because anybody that assaults a federal agent or an officer or anything should automatically usually get arrested for that," Zuniga said. "That's a crime and I thought it was weird that they are saying that they assaulted someone and no arrest was made." Bolingbrook, IL.

“the state does not get to pick winners and losers among various points of view.”

Sorry, it's $250 million. My mistake. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

All of the weirdo wh*te people are revealing themselves.

Legitimately, this is why @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social calls Barack Obama "the best closer we have." You go to Democratic rallies and see kids too young to remember 2008 or even 2012 totally in awe. It's like watching LeBron pop a three at 40. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Welp.

we're bringing it back, brothers and sisters in Christ

This is important

Of course in Japan's case , they elected a woman who's a) against women's rights b) against gay rights c) supports male-only Imperial succession. So not exactly a big win for women's rights everywhere but still something the US hasn't managed.

“Chip” Roy is bad.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

again saying the political response of local police depts probably worth following given Trump's efforts to federalize policing

I guess I'm the wrong person to commentate on this because I'm a Harvard College alum, but then again I'm Black and from East L.A. and live just miles from the Maine border and I think it's important for everyone to understand that there are lots of working class heroes who don't have Nazi tattoos

I.C.E. is stockpiling weapons of war because the federal government is waging war on our neighbors and friends. The President of the United States has repeatedly referred to them as vermin and “the enemy within.” This is America’s future. Dark days ahead. 🇺🇸

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March. The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org. Details:

Marimar Martinez was shot by ICE & ended up with 7 bullet wounds A TikTok influencer was shot today in south LA A 15 year old autistic boy disappeared & ended up in federal custody Chemical munitions are being used ICE not only targets disabled people, their actions may be a mass disabling event

A Jan. 6 defendant who Trump pardoned has been arrested for making a "credible death threat" against Leader Jeffries, according to the congressman. Christopher Moynihan has been charged with a felony count of making a terroristic threat, according to the NYS Police.

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is the same General Counsel who said withholding funds to Ukraine, the basis of Trump's first impeachment, was perfectly legal, and this sounds like similar bullshit.

Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market. Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army. Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

Fenway Health just sent this message to all of their patients. They are lying to their patients telling them that cessation of gender affirming care to trans youth was due to a change in federal regulations. This is a lie. No such change was made to regulations. This was Fenway complying in advance.

The House Republicans who spent the last week insisting that the No Kings rallies were going to be filled with terrorists who hate America are now back at the very same lectern insisting that the Epstein Files have nothing to do with Donald Trump at all.
