Cape Verde’s World Cup heroes have landed back home, greeted by saluting airport staff and hundreds of fans 🇨🇻 Today is also the 51st anniversary of the country’s independence. Have a day, Cape Verde 💙

Trump has signaled nonstop that he intends to interfere with the midterms. We must get into election protection formation with community power and preparation, not panic. Join our national program to ensure all eligible voters get to cast their ballot and those ballots are counted.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Ossoff: "This is what happens when you send your son in law Jared to cosplay as a diplomat. Despite zero qualifications, Prince Jared was tapped to lead Middle East diplomacy. Now remember Jared's slush fund already got $2 billion from the Saudi Crown Prince ... "

📬 USPS is rushing to carry out Trump’s wishes on restricting mail voting, which could disrupt mail voting and hand the Trump administration private voter information. Here’s how we can fight back: https://bit.ly/3SPmUhD

Ossoff: "When they gathered in Atl to remove Black elected officials not by defeating them at the polls, but by manipulating maps to dilute minority power, they saw you mobilize & they backed down. A wave is building ... let's make sure they hear it down at Mar-a-Lago, that GA will bow to no king!"

Phang: Inside his order, Judge Sullivan said that I am likely to succeed on the merits of my lawsuit, which speaks to the bigger success. Because the ultimate goal is the entirety of the Epstein files being produced, including the shit that Blanche continues to sit on…

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

What can local communities do in the wake of the Supreme Court’s VRA ruling? “Local districting often gets away with inequity because people aren’t watching—so watch more. Actually get involved in local redistricting,” says a voting rights expert.

I signed a discharge petition on the Right to Contraception Act because women have a right to the full range of reproductive health care. I will never stop fighting to restore and protect access to reproductive health care and ensure all individuals can make their own private health care decisions.

Let's not let "paid agitators" in the White House disrupt our constitutional rights.

The rarely-discussed AHRQ is the only agency doing the critical work of health systems research, funding, and training needed to better understand what works and what saves or wastes money in healthcare. We can’t let this agency be erased!

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

De Niro: When I hear something I don’t like, I use my own free speech to respond. When I hear Trump say, that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation—not even a little bit—I say: shut the fuck up.

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @levernews.com)

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED.......

Love this guy.

YES. WOW!! Thank you, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social advocating for ADDING SEATS to the Supreme Court because term limits don't go far enough. THIS is what will get my vote in 2028. No good law passed will survive this rogue Supreme Court.

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Imagining…

⛽ Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on May 5, per AAA: • Regular: $4.48 (⬆️ $1.50 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.34 (⬆️ $1.91 since war began) • Diesel: $5.66 (⬆️ $1.80 since war began)

While our eyes are on Trump’s war in Iran, ICE is still kidnapping, shooting, and terrorizing innocent Americans and American children. We cannot let ICE shooting people on the streets be normalized.

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

In November, we’re going to win back the House, the Senate, governorships, and state legislatures across our country. And we’re going to build the largest midterm margins against the incumbent party that our nation has ever seen. Please support our nationwide organizing work to make it all happen.

Please share widely!

Call your senators, folks!

No Kings Day is right around the corner. Join the upcoming kickoff call to learn more about the vision, urgency, and strategy behind this national day of action.

Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General? First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan. Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

WAR CRIMES DON'T HIDE SEX CRIMES! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

We have learned - the hard way - how launching a reckless war of choice with no clear endgame can put Americans in greater danger.

It was great to speak with students and educators at Apex High School yesterday! Having started my career in public service at the school board level, delivering for local teachers and students remains my priority in the face of Trump’s funding cuts that have hurt K-12 schools nationwide.

This is a time for coalition. We may not agree on everything, but surely the defense of liberty in the face of this administration's abuses can bring together progressives, libertarians, and quite a few conservatives in common cause.

People are uniting together, uplifting their shared values to welcome people and keep everyone safe, calling on businesses to take a stand, and demanding ICE out of their communities. 🔗Learn how to fight back against detention warehouses in our new warehouse toolkit: bit.ly/noicewarehouse

In this critical moment, it is more important than ever to keep the pressure on and ensure our elected officials hear from us. They must understand how vital it is to hold the line and move forward with our demand for major cuts to funding for ICE and Border Patrol: www.youtube.com/watch?v=juTZ...

The White House is obsessed with hiding the President's involvement in a child sex ring. It's what they spend most of their time on.

👀

Members of Congress return to DC tomorrow, which means this will be a critical week in our fight against new ICE and Border Patrol funding. Urge your elected officials to keep holding the line for a DHS funding bill with meaningful guardrails and a stop to the violence in our communities.

Not surprising, but at least it’s now on the record. A report by researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that U.S. companies and consumers had shouldered the burden of Trump’s expansive tariffs.
