DelBene: They’re scared they can’t keep a majority because they’re not standing up for the issues the American people care about.

We should be making sure that voters pick their representatives—not politicians picking their voters.

They know they can’t win, so they’re trying to rig the system.

Note: this is the environmental impact lawsuit brought by Friends of the Everglades and other organizations.

UPDATE: Alligator Alcatraz “can continue to operate and hold detainees for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but workers will be barred from adding any new filling, paving or infrastructure for the next 14 days” per U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Williams.

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirement—they removed the age requirement. Now, at any age—you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

Meiselas: We’re seeing a global realignment. Trump touts fake deals, but countries say there is no deal. Modi may meet Xi. Australia’s buying warships from Japan, Canada’s buying planes from France, and Europe is turning away from U.S. weapons. The world order is reshuffling.

Brett Meiselas: When people speak about the Epstein case as a cover-up in the past...the cover-up is happening right now.

The biggest part of the whole scandal may be happening before our eyes right now—what Donald Trump is saying every day, what Trump and his team are doing every day.

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

Today we honor the wounded warriors who put their lives on the line for this country.

But let’s be clear—#PurpleHeartDay can’t just be symbolic. If you’re not fighting for healthcare, housing, and justice for our veterans, you’re not really honoring them.

Trump Is Replacing Billy Long as I.R.S. Commissioner

"'Please enjoy a 70-minute early exit tomorrow. That way you’ll be rested for my 70th birthday Monday!' Long wrote to IRS staff..."

60 years after the Voting Rights Act, voter suppression is still targeting our communities.

That’s why I introduced the SWIFT VOTE Act and the POLL Act. These bills cut the lines, expose the delays, and give folks real power to fight back when states play games with our right to vote.

Gov. Greg Abbott escalates his war against the Texas Democrats who left the state to break quorum. He's now begging an Illinois state court to issue civil arrest warrants for those Texas House members.

I break down Abbott's legal gambit & why it reeks of desperation.

NEW DEVELOPMENT: Trump is asking the Supreme Court to step in and reverse a lower court order stopping ICE from racially profiling people in the Los Angeles area. Solicitor General John Sauer argues limits on these “roving patrols” are “too constraining.” @meidastouch.com @legalafmtn.bsky.social

Using a hex code unique to each plane, tracking software showed us it’s one of 3 aircraft operated by Avelo for deportations..."

Prosecutor Probing NYAG Hit With Bar Complaint for "Potentially Illegal Conduct" The subject of the complaint is Trump's man in Albany: John Sarcone, who is now targeting the New York AG who won a half-billion dollar verdict against his boss.

NEWS: Sarcone’s investigation against one of Trump’s longtime targets, NYAG Letitia James, went public on Friday, but Sarcone may not have his own house in order, according to a recent bar complaint accusing him of “potentially illegal conduct.”

He LOST.

Slow your pressured speech and STOP interrupting your guests!

The minute they start to answer you interrupt. You were bad today with Jennifer Rubin. At times she couldn’t get a word in edgewise. You were not AS bad with Tim O’Brien.

Work on your interviewing method!

I got the chance to visit with one of my favorite pups, Penny, yesterday! She always brings me joy & I am blessed to be her Auntie Katie!
