My deepest regards and admiration goes out to the brave citizens that are standing up to this police state repression. Not everyone is willing to confront the secret police in person and try to stop then. Hopefully more of us will find this kind of courage.

Not surprisingly, the white supremacist wing of the court makes it legal to harass black and brown citizens with private, unmarked vehicles, without cause.

We need to brainstorm some solutions to when a Supreme Court majority flouts the Constitution and refuses to explain its reasoning.

FEMA Withholds Homelessness Grants While Building Migrant Prison Camps The resetting of priorities will have tragic consequences.

It is a disaster that the criminal president was handed unchecked power to redirect funds that were authorized by Congress for other purposes.

We have to retain our capacity to publicize and challenge this radical right-wing shift in how federal funds are allocated.

Word.

Complete BS.

One vote lost for the 2028 primaries.

Unbelievable level of capitulation. Complete cowardice that will be a permanent stain on this institution's reputation.

If it's WaPo/NYTimes, we're better off not reading mouthpieces for oligarchy.

The criminal president hasn't nominated anyone that a sane progressive would want to see. The parade of incompetents from Hegseth to RFK says it all.

Another fail for the minority leader AND milquetoast Dems.

Federal judge blocks 'roving' immigration arrests amid Los Angeles crackdown The order on Friday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from conducting the arrests without “reasonable suspicion” that its targets were in the country illegally.

NEW: ICE's "roving patrols" in Los Angeles have led to unconstitutional arrests of people agents suspect — without probable cause — are in the country illegally, a federal judge ruled Friday.

Great to see some legal pushback against the invasion of California by ICE.

Agreed. The white majority elects Republicans and keeps them in power. Numerically, the best shot at stopping authoritarianism is if white folks organize among their peers and stop voting MAGA. Soon.

He's a white man. He gets to say this with no consequences really.

Hakeem Jeffries has enough on his plate. Why the hell is he starting interparty fights?

Maybe if we get the word out on the intentional dismantling of clean energy programs we can energize the youth vote.

On top of the immoral and racist aspects of this, it's also a boondoggle for fat cat friends and lobbyists. Right now the GOP gets to print money and use it all to enrich themselves. Obscene for numerous reasons.

Representative Crockett speaks truth to power and has earned a prominent place in the House Democratic caucus. I hope that current leadership starts to recognize her effectiveness as we continue to defend the rule of law and prepare for 2026.

And how are we planning as Democrats to 1) pull together a national agenda, and 2) increase participation by younger members of the caucus? I hear nothing about this, frankly, from the Senate or House Democratic leaders.

I really respect the work that you do, Mr. Elias. But this conversation still strikes me as clubby when we're in the middle of a national emergency, especially as you congratulate Mr. Schumer on his savvy as a strategist. Given the train wreck we're in - what do you base this laudatory opinion on?

Determination amid tragedy. The resistance widens.

Huge props to everyone who stood up against tyranny in yesterday's No Kings rallies.

Representative Clark is exactly right - we are a wealthy country led incapably by a president and Congress that will enrich themselves, even if SNAP and Medicaid are cut. It's immoral, and we all have work to do to stop the budget bill's passage.

It's hard to keep track of the human rights violations of this criminal administration. But departing migrants to locations that are not their country of origin is further shows contempt for the law and erodes due process further.

Impeachment now, or watch the republic degrade beyond recognition.

Some good news - for now, the injunction will stay in effect against adding a proof of citizenship requirement to voter forms.

The courts have made many reasonable calls against the authoritarians in the White House. Too bad about the inaction when the administration violates court orders!

This bottom of the barrel presidency continues to nominate unqualified white supremacist ideologues to key positions. That's not surprising anymore, but it's slightly surprising that the GOP majority pretends to care about qualifications at this point, especially after the odious RFK confirmation.

This racist order for English-only truck driver makes no economic sense whatsoever.

Why don't more people call out this president as racist?

‘It's a dangerous situation’: GOP rep. with most Medicaid constituents sends a warning Rep. David Valadao is telling his leadership to tread carefully but not drawing a red line, at least for now.

The budget bill for the ultra rich is being discussed now, and there's a good chance that there will be cuts to Medicaid and tax benefits for billionaires. It's a good time to get on the phone to your senators and reps. More at the link.

Virginia Giuffre hailed as ‘fierce warrior’ for women, who ‘gave voice to the silenced’ Family issue statement on alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim who said she was trafficked to Prince Andrew

Coming forward and testifying against powerful people comes at a great cost. More of us should follow the example set by Virginia Giuffre in speaking truth to power.

Democratic senators better not vote for the SAVE Act. The fact that four Democratic house members voted for it is mindboggling and infuriating.

I hope that folks in Milwaukee are able to support Judge Hannah Dugan after her arrest by ICE agents. Judge Dugan has been involved in many efforts as an attorney to support low income citizens and urban nonprofits.

It's really important to stand up in cases like this and demand justice.

More vocal opposition is needed against the racist president's attacks against Black History museums. Proud to see that churches have spoken up. Universities and we the public need to be just as loud before irreplaceable artifacts are lost or destroyed.

All of us who provide historical context and interpretation for the public have a big job right now. We are witnessing how historical amnesia enables autocracy. I'm looking forward to this resource put together by the AHA to share our perspectives.

Senator Van Hollen has been an essential voice in the confirmation hearings standing up for the rule of law and for qualifications and common sense to hold the day. His words and actions related to the illegal deportation of Mr. Garcia are truly an inspiration to the rest of us.

Can we please stop voting for sociopaths? Is that too much to ask?
