Abbott threatens to withhold money from cities with pride crosswalks That would appear to include Houston, San Antonio and Austin, which all have rainbow crosswalks.

A shocking incident is raising alarms: ICE agents were reportedly on rooftops β€œshooting rubber bullets” at peaceful protesters who were simply β€œstanding there flipping them off.”

This blatant abuse of power demands accountability. #BlueCrew #ICE #CivilRights #ProtestRights #UseOfForce

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

At Oversight Hearing, AG Bondi Responds to Questions With Attacks Instead of Answers At Oversight Hearing, AG Bondi Responds to Questions With Attacks Instead of Answers

Attorney General Pam Bondi hurled insults at Democrats when testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, accusing Sen. Whitehouse of β€œtaking money from one of Epstein’s confidants” and Sen. Hirono of being a member of antifa.

Look, I know this is controversial, but I’m on the side of the ones who **aren’t** shooting priests in the head with pepper balls.

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You? Read more here.

I will be the first to admit: I am scared. I am scared of what Trump is doing to our country, our communities, and our neighbors. But just because I am scared does not mean I am helpless. Instead, I will stand up and speak out, Marc Elias writes.

I hope John Fetterman watched the Pam Bondi hearing today and felt good about his vote to confirm her.

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.
