Red Blooded Rogue

Tomorrow, The Supreme Court will re-hear oral argument in Louisiana v. Callais.

Just two years ago, the Court upheld Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — helping dismantle racially discriminatory maps in states like Alabama and Louisiana.

The VRA’s protections remain absolutely necessary today.

Zohran for NYC Zohran Mamdani is running for Mayor to lower the cost of living for working class New Yorkers.

The city failed this family, just as it's failing to hold bad landlords accountable.

Those days will end.

We will rebuild the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants—a longstanding tool of City Hall that has been defunded and deprioritized.

And it will finally have real teeth.

These Bronx Tenants Lived Six Weeks Without Water and Power. The City’s Fix? A Vacate Order The plight of the Ramos family reveals the weaknesses in the City's system to protect tenants from unlivable conditions—and from being put out on the street.

A Bronx family lived without utilities for over 6 weeks after they were shut off without explanation.

The landlord, despite receiving severe violation notices, didn't fix the problem.

HPD couldn’t turn the utilities back on, so it issued the family a vacate order.

This is preview of 2026 elections, just in case anyone was wondering how this would play out

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

JB Pritzker looking at prosecuting ICE agents in Chicago Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has suggested that state prosecutors might examine the conduct of ICE agents.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

ICE's use of full-body restraints during deportations raises concerns over inhumane treatment U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have been using a full-body restraint device called the WRAP during deportations.

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

You need to see this:

Squad 2.0: Meet America's next wave of radical Democrats shaping the party's future Progressive Democrats, including Zohran Mamdani and Omar Fateh, have emerged as the new generation of candidates responding to President Donald Trump's second term.

That’s right! Thanks, Fox News!

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Happy Monday to you too! Have a wonderful week

Wow! That's incredible. Glad you are still with us!

A few Octobers ago, I made a suggestion and the dictionary responded and it was a delight and an honor.

The amazing thing about the SNL sketch last night was not that Ashley Padilla wore a scarf nearly identical to mine.  It’s that I trust Amy Poehler as AG more than Pam Bondi.

This will surely help us compete with China to win the 21st century. Are we great yet? Are we great?

#DementiaDon it’s a shame we have to do this because they lie so much 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️play detective with records

"CDC is over": RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.

'CDC is over': RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre

That’s 1000 doctors, scientists and health officials — they cannot be replaced. Effectively ending CDC.

A few hours later, they all received e-mails saying they are now un-fired. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tell your other vet friends. Tell anyone in active duty. Try to find retired generals or admirals that you admired. Reach out to them as well. Form a group. Have regular calls. Share resources. Make plans for what is to come. Build ways for others to support you, or train with you. Help us help you.

If you are a democrat, $50 mortgage reduction is a felony.

If you are a republican, $50,000 bribe isn’t worth talking about.

Weird.

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”
