This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

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.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

A new Trump administration memo would have immense consequences for one key group: 25% of all federal employees are US military veterans. Republicans are putting the financial security of hundreds of thousands of veterans and their families at risk.

"Republicans shut down the government because they care more about their rich donors' tax cuts than about your health care." Below this, two framed images contrast the financial effects:

Left Frame: Shows a photo of a diverse family of four hugging outdoors. Text above reads "Family of four making $75,000/yr". Text on a green banner at the bottom reads: "pay $3,368 more for health coverage 2026".

Right Frame: Shows a photo of three wealthy individuals, including Mark Zuckerberg. Text above reads "Person making $1 million/yr". Text on a red banner at the bottom reads: "pay $97,000 less in taxes 2027".

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

β€œLook, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.β€œ

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.

For the London tabloids, Trump's mental illness is a major, front-page issue. For the US media, it's something that urgently needs to be swept under the rug. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump Want War They are ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to keep their states safe and ignoring the on-the-ground facts to justify their dangerous invasions

"Trump, with the help of his sycophants, is waging war against our own country...It's hard to overstate how perilous this moment is as Dem governors must decide how they will respond to Trump’s unrelenting efforts to stoke more violence and seize more power." www.americaamerica.news/p/stephen-mi...
