🚨 Texas Democrats just pulled one of the boldest moves in recent political history: They walked out, got on airplanes, and broke quorum to block a Trump-backed GOP gerrymander. This is democracy on the line — and Texas Dems are fighting with everything they’ve got.

For the other universities watching, the lesson is PLAY OFFENSE. Do not accept the terms of conflict you've been presented. Relentlessly communicate your intention and vision. Engage and challenge those who misrepresent your intentions.

For six months, I've said that threats to economic data have been more collateral damage than intentional harm. No longer. Firing the head of the BLS is five-alarm intentional harm to the integrity of US economic data and the entire statistical system.

GREAT news for Mason's President Washington!!! YAY! He has much support at Mason and in the community. Although I doubt things are 'over' [never should have started], Virginia's BOV made the right call today. Stay tuned!

Republicans, before you vote to close 1 of 4 nursing homes, can you update us on where those people will go? Maybe call a few seniors in your state and go over plans for where they go next? Or call the son whose dad has dementia and tell him how he can be a full-time caregiver?

The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings"
Today's protests are about reestablishing a government of laws, not unaccountable oligarchs.

The deployment of Marines to Los Angeles was uncalled for, rushed, and potentially dangerous for everyone involved. We’re demanding answers from Sec. Hegseth. This isn't just a California problem. What Trump does in Los Angeles could become the authoritarian blueprint elsewhere in the country.

Barragán: "This is not an effort to really get criminals. It's an effort to see 'let's see who we can sweep up along the way.' Why are they doing this? Bc this president said he was going to deport millions & the numbers have not been adding up. There aren't that many serious criminal offenders."

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.
