In July, the Trump admin took the position that a 1996 law had, without anyone noticing for almost 30 years, made it so that most undocumented immigrants were not eligible to be released on bond.

That position has been *overwhelmingly* rejected by federal judges; 200+ of them!

Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.

Made in Moscow: The “U.S. peace plan” for Ukraine was substantially formulated months ago by Kremlin operative Kirill Dmitriev Since it was first published on Nov. 20, the much-discussed 28-point plan for ending the war in Ukraine has borne all the signs of a Kremlin information operation.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Portland is doing well making clear the ridiculousness of the military takeover.

And yes, they're trying to intimidate us but Pritzker's right -- everyone needs to be out in numbers at these events.

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Michigan Avenue right now.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Portland has elevated protesting to an art form.

Thank you for taking a strong stand, bringing important information to the people & making good trouble indeed, Sen. Cory Booker. John Lewis’s memory gave you strength for your noble accomplishment. He’s dancing in heaven, so proud of you! We need ALL Dems in Congress to fight together! 💙

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

When do they vote? Tomorrow?

AOC needs to run for the Senate and take Chuck Schumer’s seat.

“To see some Senate Democrats even consider acquiescing to Elon Musk. I think it is a huge slap in the face, and I think that there's a wide sense of betrayal."
