Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Prosecuting political opponents, abducting immigrants, deploying troops in our streets, silencing voters, defying the courts — this is a dictatorship in action. Trump thinks his rule is absolute.

President Trump has relentlessly come after media companies, journalists, and even entertainers for publicly opposing him. Congress must defend the First Amendment and protect our free press.

On Sunday, U.S. District Court Judge Karin J. Immergut blocked President Trump's deployment of the Oregon National Guard. She is now at the center of one of the most consequential cases over executive authority in modern presidential history. Here's a deep dive into who she is.

While Trump escalates his attacks on our freedoms with occupations of our cities and secret police forces terrorizing our communities, normal everyday people across the nation are showing up every single day with courage and defiance.

Tuesday Evening Forecast Expect cooler, but dry conditions for Wednesday as offshore flow shifts to onshore, bringing in cooler ocean air. That will also lead to some cloud cover tomorrow. Thursday will be mainly dry asides from a band of moisture over the higher terrain.

This week, we lost one of the world’s greatest advocates for people and nature. Even in her final days, Dr. Jane Goodall was urging us not to give up, and now her legacy lives on through the countless voices she inspired. Read on Mailchimp: shorturl.at/lDxXk Read on LinkedIn: shorturl.at/VOiPa

It's just incredible. It's another example that the Republican Party is not a serious party and could care less about governance. They are in it for money and power, not improving the lives of the American people.

Today, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Chiles v. Salazar, a landmark case on conversion therapy. The case centers on a challenge to Colorado’s law that bans therapists from promising young people they can change their sexual orientation or gender identity if they just “try hard enough.”

Renowned fashion designer and ACLU artist ambassador Willy Chavarria uses his identity and experiences to fuel his activism for immigrants’ rights, LGBTQ rights, and more.

Today, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Chiles v. Salazar, a case challenging Colorado’s 2019 ban on dangerous and discredited “conversion therapy.” So-called “conversion therapy” is an abusive pseudoscience that has been rejected by EVERY major medical and mental health organization.

Trump orders approval of 211-mile mining road through Alaska wilderness. Ambler Road project, approved in Trump’s first term but blocked by Biden, would harm Native tribes and wildlife. #ClimateChange www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It's insane the immaturity coming out of the White House. So openly and unapologetically racist as well. 🙄

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat — you should be worried when you hear the president say a judge should “work for him”. No judge should ever serve any politician. That’s not how the balance of powers works.

Mazama Energy along with its partners are hoping to tap into an uncommon energy source that could help Oregon and the rest of the region meet its renewable energy goals — Super Hot Rocks.

“One of the best ways you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them, by having secure men who aren’t afraid of successful people around them who are also participating in that as well.”

Bad news: Anti-vaxxers have been given leadership positions at US health agencies and are doing everything they can to take away vaccines. Good news: Despite all their spin, in reality they have been too incompetent to do anything effective to restrict vaccine access in any meaningful way so far.

Trump is escalating his assault on American cities. His attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Portland and Chicago are unbelievably frightening. But they’re also a sign that Trump knows he’s rapidly losing time and popular support.

Evening Forecast 🌙 Expect clear skies tonight into Tuesday. Tuesday's highs should peak similar to today in the upper 70s to near 80. We'll get a marine push Wednesday bringing temps back to the 60s along with rain chances later this week into the weekend.

Understand what they are doing: using the massive power of the state - including military power and the power to imprison - to carry out a campaign to eliminate their political opposition. It's growing in seriousness by the hour.

The next twist in the whipsawing drama over whether President Trump can send National Guard troops into Portland will center on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The result could come quickly, if a similar case that played out in California this year is an indication.

Social media is not news, people. The thing with social media (and the internet in general) is it's a mixture of factual information, fictional information, and unproven statements/rumors/conspiracy theories. Don't take everything you see on social media as true. There is a lot of bs out there.

BREAKING: We're asking the Supreme Court to reject the Trump administration's attempt to revive its discriminatory passport policy. Lower courts were right when they stopped the the State Department from denying transgender, non-binary, and intersex people accurate identification.

There is no evidence that breaking up the MMR shot would make the immunization safer or more effective. The reason why the acting CDC director wants to separate the MMR shot is to discourage people from getting vaccinated by creating larger hurdles.

Militarized federal agents patrolling the streets doesn't make anyone safer. People should never have to fear being brutalized by their government for protesting.

“The courage, humanity and compassion of the Sumud flotilla are more than symbolic, they are a visceral reminder to all of us of our duty to stand up to injustice and to stand for the innocent.” #StopTheGenocide

An unprecedented weekend put Portland at the center of national headlines, as President Trump continued his push to deploy National Guard members into the city over the objections of city and state elected officials and a federal judge.

Two of the most common climate misconceptions I see, even among knowledgeable folks, are that (1) most people aren't worried about climate change, and (2) if they were, they'd act. Not true! Data show (1) most people are worried, but (2) they won’t act if they don’t know what to do-and most don’t.

Republicans talk a big game about toning down political violence. But last week I called for a vote on my bill that would have given all Americans, including judges and other elected officials like this necessary privacy protections to stay safe. Republicans blocked it.

Senate Democrats continue to hold the line to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter. More votes are expected today, and your senators need to hear from you. Encourage Democrats to keep fighting: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Trump's work around has been blocked. 👏 👏 👏

Judge Karin Immergut’s ruling capped a dramatic weekend that included President Trump sending California National Guard members to Oregon and ordering others from Texas.
