Trump Admin Takes Its Desperate Midcycle Redistricting Scheme to Indiana talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

The next line after the "they won't be taking anyone home with them" bit here is "we are protecting those Texas House Democrats."

That sounds to me very much like a warning to federal law enforcement.

Cancel the project — then there would be no need for an office to respond to our concerns.

Co Chairs of Delta Legislative Caucus: "In fact, no amount of money can compensate for the destruction of thousands of acres of prime farmland and the loss of fisheries and historic tribal resources.”

Also: anyone who actually knows how to make a fist.

Significant portions of Article I of the U.S. Constitution were removed from the version published on Congress’ official Constitution website. Large parts of Section 8(which outlines the powers of Congress) were deleted, and Sections 9 and 10,

SAD!!

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "I would say to the Trump supporters that he's betrayed you. He's lied to you about Medicaid... He's lied to you about supporting working people... He told you he was going to release the Epstein files, and he's lying to you about that as well."

300,000 Black women left the labor force. That's not good for America. The financial success—or failure—of Black women can have significant consequences.

Black women are leaving the labor force in shocking numbers. The consequences will be felt—and not just by Black families. Shalise Manza Young explains:

The further we get into this story, the more it's feeling like a significant turning point in the mobilization of Democratic Party opposition to Trump II.

There’s a Big Sea Change Underway Among Even the Most Conventional Dems I wanted to flag for you what I think is an important...

@joshtpm.bsky.social: When Kathy Hochul is talking about going to "war" in a nationwide, brass-knuckle political fight and Chuck Schumer is going quasi-edge-lord on social media taunting Trump, you know it's a sea change moment.

Remember-- if Trump wanted transparency on Epstein, he wouldn't need to gather Vance, Bondi, Patel, Blanche and Wiles tonight to discuss strategy; he would simply release the files. This is what a coverup looks like.

Democrats Fight Back on Re-redistricting Politicians satiate the base’s demand to stand up to MAGA bullies

"Democratic leaders across the country are showing spine and blocking MAGA tactics aimed at destroying the normal operation of elections."

Jen Rubin on the Democratic resistance finding its foothold:

As many of us have been saying for some time. Trump says he learned about Epstein “stealing” girls from Mar-a-Lago, including 16-year old Virginia Giuffre, in 2000. He didn’t boot Epstein as a member until 7 years later, and only after state charges had been filed against Epstein.

Your 401(k) Is Billionaires’ Next Bailout Scheme President Trump could bail out private equity companies — by letting them loot your retirement plan.

With the stroke of his pen, Trump may soon turn your 401k account into a bailout fund for private equity billionaires.

Pass it on.

Elon Musk donated $5 MILLION to Trump's superPAC in June.

That's on top of his almost QUARTER OF A BILLION spent on Trump's election.

Our country's campaign finance laws are a joke.

End Citizens United & free our democracy from billionaire domination.

Go orcas!!

Our message to Dem leaders must be this.

Amazing framing. Well said.

Harvard has stood firm against Trump’s war on higher education. That needs to continue.

I’m joining other Harvard alumni in Congress to urge the university not to capitulate.

You can’t make a good faith deal with an administration that is not acting in good faith.

To give you a sense of how bad the GOPs current polls must be. Indiana is already heavily gerrymandered and there are two Democrats out of 9 seats.

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

Indeed!

So much for “America first.”

These Texas Democrats are standing up, fighting an essential fight for our democracy, and they need our support. Please send them money if you can! Most of them have jobs they had to leave, too and are making sacrifices for the good of the country.

We have seen Republican lawmakers try to respond to federal policies that harm their favored areas. In the GOP reconciliation bill, a fund was created as a weak backstop for Medicaid cuts that could have a dramatic effect on rural hospitals. That was seen as necessary to effectively reimburse those rural areas for damaging federal policy. Why aren’t ICE removals and their disruptive, chilling effect on blue areas seen in the same light? It would take some rudimentary economic analysis to calculate an actual figure that the U.S. government has cost the city of Los Angeles with its terror campaign. The city could make the calculations, and then send the government a bill. “You break it, you buy it” shouldn’t just be a principle at a department store.

The point isn't that Trump would immediately write a check to Los Angeles if presented with a bill for economic damages. But it could be a powerful indicator there is a cost to gestapo tactics—in human lives and the fabric of families, and also a financial cost. prospect.org/politics/202...
